Haunted Part One of Five
Issue opens very dramatically. A mutant, who is not Leech, is being hunted upstate. Rachel senses this, and it brings up old Hound memories.
This miniseries was billed as Kitty, Rogue and Wolverine. Revel gets to sneak in Rachel and Beast.
The main three are going to head to a small town in Western Virginia to save two other detected mutants. Apparently a slew of kids have gone missing around town. This angers Wolverine, and the team is off.
The town is located somewhere along the West Virginia / Kentucky border. I wonder what the three of them discussed on this long car ride. I imagine they didn’t want to fly as that would draw too much attention.
Of course, Wolverine walks up to a group of men and irritates them. Kitty and Rogue go to a teen party.
We meet Krystal, a young blonde who does drugs and as mental powers that makes a person do what she says.
Apparently, the sheriff, Jasper, is a bad man.
Krystal leads the X-Men into the woods, where kids go to disappear. They find a cabin. Inside, Wolverine finds . . . Sabretooth!
Who, of course, has to be an illusion but Revel gets one chance to draw the X-Men, let the gentleman draw Sabretooth, while he can.
Good art, and the characters sound right, the mood feels very suspenseful.
