Criminal Macabre: Two Red Eyes

(Dark Horse, 2006)
™ and © 2006 Steve Niles

Cal McDonald is a private eye whose cases often involve vampires, ghouls, werewolves and other supernatural characters.
As this mini-series opens, McDonald appears to have gained a death wish, and the husband of a woman who was killed for her involvement with McDonald is only too happy to indulge him. The severe beating, to which McDonald gives no resistance, lands him in the hospital, and after a coma of several days, he wakes in what is for him a strange state… sober. Meanwhile, the entirety of the supernatural population seems to be converging on the hospital. Some to pay their respects and some to kill McDonald. His friend and partner Mo’Lock intends to protect him, but his attention may be diverted by a very old, very powerful evil entity.The art by Kyle Hotz is an abrupt change from Ben Templesmith who drew the previous mini-series. Hotz appears to be channeling Kelley Jones, who drew the character for the IDW series Supernatural Freak Machine.
