Haunt #4

Haunt crouches in desperate isolation on this striking 2010 Image cover, his black-and-white symbiote form pressed low as the word "HELP" looms in dripping, ghostly letters on the grime-stained wall behind him — a single word that carries enormous weight. Todd McFarlane's cover pencils and inks bring raw, kinetic energy to the character's hunched, cornered posture, clawed hands splayed and glowing eyes fixed outward with an unsettling intensity. With Kirkman, McFarlane, Ottley, and Capullo all aboard for the series, issue #4 represents this creative team firing on all cylinders.
