The Fellowship was fortunate enough to obtain a copy of JOHN
CARPENTER’S ASYLUM #2 from comiXology Submit. Bruce Jones writes and Leonardo
Manco draws.
Father Daniel Beckett is not in good standing with the
church. It appears, though, that perhaps God does not agree with the church in
this case. Right now whatever is possessing Jackson is causing a lot of chaos in
Beckett’s world. And after a couple of car crashes and run-ins with the cops, Jackson gets away. Beckett
retreats to confer with his own priest, and Duran tries to track down his
missing partner.
This is a very intense book. That’s not what surprised me,
though. It’s also a very personal book, at least in terms of characters. These
characters, especially Daniel, are all in completely over their heads with this
possession thing, and it’s really bringing out who they are as people. And
that’s exactly how it should work (in my humble opinion). Their world is all
upside down, and that’s exciting and cool.
This is a great title, and I’m sure the esteemed Mr.
Carpenter wouldn’t have put his name on it otherwise. This is a quality horror
book which I highly recommend.
JOHN CARPENTER’S ASYLUM #2 is available now online at comixology.com.
