With her sister having been killed in front of her very eyes, and the demon-thing responsible also very much dead, Chloe attempts to get help from the police. Understandably, however, they don’t buy the supernatural explanation for her sister’s death, and she becomes a prime suspect in the murder.

So who, or what, is in the box that the monster was after? As one fantastic piece of dialogue says in GhostBox #2: “These are not great mysteries. Save your curiosity for riddles that don’t solve themselves.”

And that’s true; the mystery of the GhostBox is quickly unveiled, and it’s pretty literal. Though we don’t know the proper ins and outs of it just yet, there’s some intriguing rules laid down and the battle to protect the box rages on, with more nasty beasts desperate to get their hands on it.

I briefly mentioned that there were a few signs of photo referencing with issue 1’s art, and it becomes obvious that this is definitely the case in issue 2. So much so that it’s really distracting, and quite frustrating too. Though an angel’s face blatantly modelled after Eleventh Doctor Matt Smith was immediately jarring, it wasn’t as disappointing as seeing what should have been an impressively surreal beast so obviously copied from one of the forms of The Thing, from John Carpenter’s iconic, 1982 classic.

Problems with the artwork aside, GhostBox #2 is well written and really compelling, offering supernatural action and gives the reader some answers, widening the cast list and scope nicely, while tantalisingly saving the resolution of more questions for later issues.
