Ghost Projekt #2

Written by Joe Harris
Art by Steve Rolston

I quite enjoyed the first issue of this new series from Oni.  It had a nice mix of supernatural elements with a bit of a Whiteout feel, as an American weapons inspector toured decommissioned Soviet-era unconventional weapons sites in Russia, including one where thieves broke a mysterious vial, clearly letting something out.

This issue has Will, our hero, being ordered to work with Operativnik Romanova, the Russian detective who gave him a hard time last issue, in tracking down and containing whatever was stolen.  There is a lot of time given over this issue to character development, as we learn the story behind Will's cough, and get some insight into both characters' motivations.

This is a nice mix of ghost story, murder mystery, and political thriller.  I like the way Harris paces this issue, and I always like seeing Rolston's art.  Definitely worth picking up.
