About the Author

First and foremost a comic creator, Kirkman has seen groundbreaking success in the adaptation of his comic book titles into major franchises in all forms of content. In 2010, his Eisner award winning series, The Walking Dead, was developed into an AMC television series. It has become a worldwide phenomenon as the highest-rated basic cable drama of all time. The property has also been extended into a blockbuster game franchise, licensing business and ongoing publishing success.

Additional Kirkman comics include Oblivion Song, Die!Die!Die!, Invincible, Outcast, Super Dinosaur, Battle Pope, Astounding Wolf-Man, and Thief of Thieves.

Kirkman also serves as consulting producer of The Talking Dead, the popular talk show hosted by Chris Hardwick that deep dives into each week’s episode of both The Walking Dead and its companion series Fear the Walking Dead. Kirkman is co-creator, writer and producer of The Walking Dead’s companion series, Fear the Walking Dead.

He is also executive producer of the AMC series Robert Kirkman’s Secret History of Comics, and the Korean pre-apocalyptic drama, Five Year. Kirkman’s popular demonic-exorcism comic, Outcast, was adapted and produced for Cinemax. His second longest running coming book series Invincible is currently being adapted for a live action movie for Universal and an animated series for Amazon. Kirkman will serve as Executive Producer on both adaptations.

Robert is also the Chairman of Skybound Entertainment. Robert, an advocate for creator rights, co-founded Skybound alongside his longtime business and producing partner David Alpert in an effort to ensure creators are able to maintain their intellectual property rights and creative control.

Ryan Ottley is a Utah based artist currently working on Invincible for Image Comics. He was the Artist and co-creator of the webcomic strip Ted Noodleman: Bicycle Delivery Boy, and it was through this webstrip that Robert Kirkman first encountered Ottley's work and then offered him the job of penciling Invincible. He has done work for Digital Webbing, Alias Entertainment, Devil's Due, DC, Image And Ape Entertainment.

A risk-taker with an unerring instinct for success, Todd McFarlane has made a multi-million dollar empire using those skills and along the way he and his companies have received nearly a hundred national and international awards, including two Emmys, a Grammy, and MTV Music Awards for his producer/director roles. McFarlane became a true comic book superstar for his record setting work on Marvel Comics’ Spider-Man franchise, where he co-created the anti-hero Venom. The Sony Pictures’ Venom film starring Tom Hardy set an all-time record for largest film opening in October and was #1 at the box office its first two weeks of release. This year, McFarlane has announced an ensemble of award-winning talent for his upcoming Spawn movie: Casting Academy Award and Golden Globe winner Jamie Foxx (Ray, Django Unchained) to play Spawn and Academy Award nominee Jeremy Renner (Hurt Locker, The Town, Wind River) to play police detective "Twitch" Williams. This new Spawn film will be a gritty, R-rated re-imagining of the character and marks McFarlane’s feature film directorial debut. Academy Award nominee Jason Blum and his BlumhouseProductions, the force behind recent hits Get Out, Split and Halloween, are attached to produce. McFarlane also co-founded in 1992—and serves as current President of—Image Comics. Image has been the third largest comic publisher in North America the past 26 years (behind Marvel and DC Comics). In 1994, McFarlane founded the international award-winning McFarlane Toys—now one of North America’s top action figure manufacturers, boasting over 150 licenses (including the recently announced Fortnite license) during that time. Artistically, McFarlane’s impact visually on the look of Spider-Man (while working at Marvel in the 1990s) can still be seen today. And a single page of McFarlane’s original art from an issue of Amazing Spider-Man sold for a record-smashing $657,250. Then his first issue for Image Comics, called Spawn, sold an unprecedented 1.7 million copies for an independent comic. Since its debut, Spawn has continued to be a fan favorite title around the world. Spawn is published in 12 languages and sold in 37 countries. The comic became an Emmy Award-Winning animated series on HBO and a New Line Cinema feature film. McFarlane founded the international award-winning McFarlane Toys—now one of North America’s top action figure manufacturers. A whirlwind of expansion in McFarlane’s companies followed: more comics, action figures, and award-winning entertainment projects which boast over 150 licenses. McFarlane Toys is known for making the best toys of the world’s pop-culture obsessions including the newly launched Fortnite and roleplay line.

This is a breakout for Image on par with Spawn and Invincible and truly a strong showing or Kirkman.( I’d argue Invincible has better action scenes, but this series is paced much better than most arcs in Spawn.) the main characters are all memorable and the secondary characters have enough personality to be interesting. ( The nerdy tech geek is my hero, he steals all the scences he’s in.) I desperately want this character to come back to Image’s forefront because Haunt is a thrilling addition to the Spawn universe.

3.0 out of 5 stars HAUNT: Not bad, but not mind-blowing either...
Reviewed in the United States on July 8, 2011
Verified Purchase
This reprint of the first five (or was it six?) issues of Kirkman & McFarlane's HAUNT was OKAY to read. There were some interesting moments, and it certainly was not the worst comic/ graphic novel I've ever read. However, it didn't exactly set my mind on fire either.

Robert Kirkman is one of the comic industry's hottest writers right now, and it's easy to feel that he has the midas touch when it comes to comics. But HAUNT simply reminded me of too many heroes that already exist (Spiderman, Spawn, Venom, Ghost Rider). The writing and characterization are ok, but a little more originality would have been nice. This volume was adequate reading, but so far, it hasn't driven me to pick up any successive volumes. If you like McFarlane's Spiderman or Spawn, you might like Haunt... Then again, you might just think of Haunt as quick-buck ripoff of those two characters. Probably only a must-have for die-hard McFarlane fans.

Über Spawn bin ich schließlich auch zu Haunt gelangt, an dem ja mit Todd McFarlane und Greg Capullo auch der Schöpfer von Spawn und ein weiterer Spawn-Zeichner beteiligt sind.
Ich habe Band 1 verschlungen, und bin begeistert. Über die Story an sich muss man ja nicht mehr viele Worte verlieren, sie wurde bereits oft genug beschrieben.
Sehr toll finde ich die Ideen: Obwohl Haunt durchaus etwas an Spiderman oder noch eher Venom erinnert, finde ich doch, daß ein solcher Held bisher noch nie da war. Nicht nur, daß Haunt die Symbiose aus zwei Brüdern darstellt, dem noch lebenden Daniel Kilgore und seinem Bruder Kurt (also keine Supermutation mit pseudowissenschaftlicher Erklärung, eher Superheldentum magischer Natur, wie man das von McFarlane schon aus Spawn kennt). Auch die Art, wie dieses Superheldentum zustande kommt und wie die beiden Hauptpersonen damit umgehen, ist einfach toll umgesetzt: Erstens ist Daniel völlig überfordert damit, erstens zum Superwesen zu mutieren und ums Überleben und die Aufklärung des Mordes an seinem Bruder kämpfen zu müssen, und muss sich erst langsam an die neue Situation gewöhnen. Er wird durch die Verschmelzung mit seinem toten Bruder in dessen brutales Agentenleben hineingeworfen, was seine Welt aus den Fugen reisst und er muss erst mit der Zeit erkennen, daß es kein Entkommen aus dieser Situation gibt.
Zweitens standen sich die beiden Brüder nie sehr nahe, Daniel scheint seinen Bruder eher gehasst zu haben (warum, kommt im Verlauf dieses Bandes heraus). Auch das trägt nicht gerade dazu bei, die Zusammenarbeit der beiden zu vereinfachen.
Auch, wie die Anfänge der beiden Brüder quasi in einem Körper als "Haunt" dargestellt werden, gefällt mir sehr gut. Dann wird Daniel meist panisch und redet mit seinem Bruder (der in diesen Situationen zu seinem Superanzug geworden ist) und fragt ihn z.B. "What are you doing???", während sein Bruder/ Anzug ihn zwingt, aus einem Fenster zu springen oder einen Gegner anzugreifen. Der Bruder/ Anzug antwortet in comic-typischen Denkblasen, und da natürlich nur Daniel hört, was er sagt, werden die Dialoge schon sehr lustig, vor allem, wenn Haunt gegen einen Gegner kämpft, der dann nur Daniels Teil des Dialoges hören kann, und auch noch darauf antwortet. Das Ganze lässt Haunt etwas schizophren wirken, sehr lustig.

Die extreme Gewaltdarstellung des Comics grenzt an Splatter und macht den Comic somit nicht nur nicht jugendfrei, sondern auch nicht massentauglich. Es passt aber sehr gut zu der Welt von Haunt, die durchaus recht düster ist, und diese Atmosphäre gefällt mir auch sehr gut.

Auch die Story ist eher Superhelden-untypisch: Es geht (zumindest hier im ersten Band) nicht vorrangig darum, mit der erhaltenen Kraft auch die Verantwortung für das Wohl der Menschheit zu übernehmen, sondern darum, den Mord an Kurt aufzuklären und seine Angehörigen vor seinen Mördern zu schützen.

Einen Wermutstropfen hat der Comic aber doch: Die Zeichnungen. Insgesamt gefallen sie mir recht gut, aber manche Bilder, die Personen aus einiger Entfernung zeigen, erinnern dann an die ersten Strichmännchenwerke aus dem Kindergarten. Gerade von McFarlane und Capullo bin ich da aber besseres gewöhnt...

Mein Fazit: 4 von 5 Sternen. Einer weniger für die gelegentlichen Ausfälle bei den Zeichnungen.
Der erste Band enthält die Einzelausgaben 1 - 5 und ist somit ideal für Einsteiger, die die Serie lesen wollen und sich die bisherige Serie schnell zulegen wollen, ohne mühsam die Einzelhefte im Internet zu suchen. Wer auf düstere, nicht jugendfreie Comicaction steht, wie man sie ähnlich schon von Spawn kannte, und wem das Konzept einer Story gefällt, das Elemente aus Superheldengeschichte und Agententhriller vereint, der sollte hier zugreifen. Und keine Sorge: Die Serie ist noch jung, und dank der Sammelbände (gerade müsste Band 4 erschienen sein) jetzt noch leicht zusammenzubekommen.
