My best friend Neil and I went to see Spawn at Greater Union when I was a kid. He took LSD. I couldn't understand a word he said. I'm not sure what happened to Neil but one thing's for certain, that movie was a big deal for Todd McFarlane and that Mexican actor who played Luigi in the Super Mario Brothers movie. With all the nasty, gothic Batman movies getting a renaissance lately, surely there's another Spawn flick right around the corner. Until then, Todd McFarlane and co-creator Robert Kirkman have put their balls on the line with Image Comics' very rare, and entirely new release, Haunt.
This comic has all the trademarks of McFarlane's imaginative Canadian mind. Religious and sinister flavours come to life in the debut with amazing artwork, a unique story and a concept that gives you optimism for the entire medium. We open the book to find a priest screwing a hooker. Yeah, it's pretty bad-ass from there. Australia has a good history of banning books and video games, and in light of their wonderful performance I'd like to make a suggestion: ban this comic. Purely based on the whole priest nailing a hooker thing. There's no better way to get everyone interested in something than telling them they can't have it.
