Haunted City # 2 (Aspen Comics 2011)

Haunted City #2 (Aspen Comics, 2011)

The deeper you dig into New York’s history, the more the ghosts push back.

Detective Tomm Palladino’s investigation into the city's supernatural underworld intensifies in this second chapter of the urban fantasy thriller. After the shocking revelations of the first issue, Palladino is forced to navigate a labyrinth of hidden societies and ancient feuds that have governed Manhattan since its founding.

As the body count rises, the thin veil between New York’s gritty reality and its mythological shadow-side begins to tear. Chap Taylor continues to weave a complex narrative that treats the city itself as a living, breathing character—one with a very long and very dark memory.

Issue Highlights:

• The Secret History of NYC: Learn more about the clandestine organizations that operate in the gaps of the five boroughs.

• Hard-Boiled Horror: The series maintains its unique tone, balancing traditional detective work with visceral, high-stakes supernatural encounters.

• Atmospheric Art: Michael Ryan’s pencils, complemented by Peter Steigerwald’s moody colors, bring a cinematic quality to the rain-slicked streets and otherworldly threats.
