Hornsby and Halo 12

hornsby-halo-12

The first year of the Ghost Machine title wraps on a high note as the titular heroes meet a new ally while trying to stay a step ahead of the unholy alliance pursuing them.

Beezle and Domino have framed Rose and Zachary’s parents leading to their arrests. The rogue demon and angel figure that by keeping Zachary and Rose away from their parents they’re more likely to be susceptible to their machinations.

On their own in New York City, Rose and Zachary are worried and confused as to why their powers haven’t shifted off.

Writer Peter J. Tomasi keeps the action sparse this issue using it more to introduce a new character, Yogi.

MORE:

Nearly as friendly as his namesake, Yogi explains the middle Earth angel born of a union between a guardian angel and a regular human. Yogi is well versed in Rose and Zachary adding a small measure of a mystery that eventually should get resolved without dragging on too long.

Artist Peter Snejbjerg does a good job in keeping the panels lively so even if nothing is happening action wise, the pages remain engrossing. Colorist John Kalisz does superb lighting and darkening of the hues as needed. Letterer Rob Leigh keeps the dialogue buttons nice and clear.

Hornsby and Halo continues to be a lighter fare concept with its charming leads trying to make sense of their shared world.

Rating: 8 out of 10
