Haunt is an American comic book published by Image Comics. Created by Todd McFarlane and Robert Kirkman, the series debuted in October 2009[1] and ended in December 2012 after 28 issues. The comic was originally written by Kirkman with pencils by Ryan Ottley, layouts by Greg Capullo, and inks by McFarlane, to a mixed to positive critical reception.[2] Joe Casey and Nathan Fox took over as the book's creative team as of Haunt #19 to a universally negative reception, abandoning the original storyline and supporting cast and serving as a tie-in to the pair's Spawn series, in which Haunt is featured as a supporting character.[3]

Set in the Image Universe, the series' eponymous fictional superhero is the merged form of Catholic priest Daniel Kilgore and the ghost of his murdered secret agent brother, Kurt, who physically manifests as an ectoplasm-based suit.[4]
