Who is Image Comics Haunt? Brutal "2 for 1" Special... Very brutal.

This video explores the history, powers, and abilities of the Image Comics character "Haunt." From the miserable life of the "sinful" priest Daniel Kilgore, the dangerous life and mysterious death of secret agent Kurt Kilgore, the posthumous disfunction and animosity between the two brothers, to their merging into a brutal ectoplasm powered superhero; Let's take a look at this unique Image Comics Universe superhero, and supernatural crimefighter. All including a short, canon character biography and my own opinionated "Sage Rating," to rank this science fiction comic book character.

But I don't want Danny to meet me. He's scary...😧

[@kay-osctrl1517]

seeing as Todd McFarlane made venom it's no coincidence this character looks similar. both venom and haunt have the same creater

[@NewSage]

McFarlane is a legend. Period.

[@Nutterbutter123]

ADRIAN ALKATRAZ also Venom and spawn have a lot of similarities, like their suits being symbiotic

[@atenakehnaton3965]

McFarlane is incredibly overrated. He couldn't draw or write for shit, but he did come up with some cool designs and push the boundaries of comics at the time.

[@marlom7882]

ADRIAN ALKATRAZ gotta love his trademark

[@PigDan]

Aten Akehnaton I'm reading his "Spider-Man" graphic novel, and I personally like his style of his art and writing. He's a talented guy, but I don't know much about him.

[@striderreborn1467]

Haunt is both Todd McFarlane and Robert Kirkman's creation. People seem to forget that Kirkman made more than just "The Walking Dead" and "Invincible".

[@gregelliff2299]

It seems like McFarlane combined two of his older creations.... Venom and Spawn.

[@MrKillerAkuma]

once again Todd did not create Venom damn it! it was a fan made contest ideal submission a Spiderman fan made Venom Todd only colored it

[@undead797]

@@MrKillerAkuma You are wrong. By the way a fan created Spider-mans black costume and sold the idea to then editor and chief of Marvel comics, Jim Shooter. Originally the black costume was black and red aside from the white eyes and was created for Peter Parker by reed richards. That was the fans idea that was sold. The black costume was introduced in Secret Wars 8 and later explained that it was a symbiotic organism in a subsequent issue of Amazing Spiderman. Todd Mcfarlane co created Venom with Davide Michiline because Todd did not like spiderman in the black costume and wanted spiderman in his original red and blue costume. Todd Mcfarlane penciled and inked the 1st cameo and full appearances of Venom and didn't color anything. So yes Todd Mcfarlane did co create Venom. You should learn things before explaining them. Whoever told you that is an idiot.

Here because of the recent Spawn story arc involving Haunt. Really interesting character. I quickly ordered the TPB and really shocked about the creative team involved. Robert Kirkman, Todd Mcfarlane, Ryan Ottley, and Greg Capullo in a single book? Fuck yeah!

I appreciate you noticing! Although I cover the "big boys" too, I wanted to do some unsung characters as well! While the "superstars" soak up the spotlight, the "grunts" are getting the work done! Take care, and have a good one!

Different Comic companies like to "borrow" each others character designs!

[@tide8460]

so you're saying if i make a character that has the same abilities as spiderman but is so different to the point where they are basically different i wont be sued?

[@Chronic_Gainz]

Can't have the likeness of the character... if that makes sense. As long as there nothing connecting the characters other then powers you're fine and sense webbing was part of his powers you can do it. Just have to be careful with it.

[@mizanali166]

New Sage now a days its "sharing" cuz they do to each other

[@stormrevenant]

Made by the same person as Venom.

[@theriffwriter2194]

When Capullo first took over penciling duties of Spawn I wasn't impressed but I can't think of a single artist, comic or otherwise, who's improved more dramatically over his career. He should serve as an inspiration to any artist who's not quite happy with their work and proves we can always get better. It's the suckers who think they've "made it" who inevitably fizzle out over time, every time.

[@Kaden10]

His work on Batman during the New 52 era was incredible, he and Scott Snyder are a great team.

[@McFarlaneDragonClan]

My opinion I give Haunt a 10 out of 10. He has alot going for him and room to grow, the writers could take this character to the next level and go in so many cool directions. There's something special about him and looking forward to more of HAUNT. He's super awesome 😎

[@theterbear9915]

He just looks like a creepy version of Spiderman.
