HAUNT OF HORROR 2010: Year in Review
(#4) by David Golightly (#5) by Morgan Abbott and Scott Casper (#6) by Ed Ainsworth
The Cast: Cloak, Dagger, Father Harper, The Vision (Golden Age), Dr. Spectrum (Alice Nugent)
Antagonists Faced: The Flock, werewolves, Agent Sharp, The Spectrum
Standout Character: The Vision
Best Moment: Agent Sharp telling Dr. Nugent she spat in her mouth as she slept.
Overall: David’s issue was a pretty neatly done tale with the street vigilantes Cloak and Dagger dealing with something mystical. Given their visuals I’m surprised they’re not connected more to the supernatural side of the Marvel Universe as it seems to be a natural fit. He handled the interaction of the two main characters well, but I think I enjoyed Father Harper the most. I absolutely loved the WWII imagery in Scott and Morgan’s issue. They did a really good job of giving you some vivid images to help you really feel like you were being thrust into that time period. They manage to mix this background with superheroics pretty convincingly. Given the way they presented The Vision I’m surprised he’s a character that hasn’t been brought into the Modern Age yet as I could think he could be a lot of fun. Ed’s issue picks up the story of the new Dr. Spectrum from DEFENDERS and while an entertaining issue I feel like it might have been in the wrong anthology. It has only the most meager smackings of anything supernatural about it and felt more like lip service in comparison to the previous two issues. With that said, the issue was a fun read as Ed issues always are and actually made Project: PEGASUS seem like a competent organization in just one line.
