Synopsis:

There is a haunted house that has learned to walk. As it chases them across the country, Ami, lead singer of the Home Sick Pilots, regrets teaching it how. But when the military attempt to develop their own ghost-powered weapon, the Old James House might be the only defense the world has from what they unleash.

The second volume of Dan Watters’ Home Sick Pilots feels a bit middle-bookish, it must be said: it all feels like setup for the grand finale, without much of a satisfying arc of its own — a couple of things come together at the end of the volume, and there’s a bit of character development for the main three and Meg, but it’s all about getting the pieces in place for the end.

With a bit along the way about Nazis infiltrating punk, which is in one sense welcome in these times, but also felt a bit preachy and shoe-horned in.

I still love the art and character designs, though. Meg’s transformation is a hell of a thing.
