Raven Chronicles - Volume Three Gary Reed

Described as the X-Files meets Mission Impossible! A unique team of operatives, led by the mysterious Edgar Allan Raven, under the auspices of the organization called Raven, Inc., are brought together to investigate any and all cases of paranormal activity. Formed of both skeptics and believers alike, the team is often called in by local or government authorities when cases prove to be too bizarre, too unusual, or just plain unsolvable. Covering the entire spectrum of the unknown, from the supernatural to the dark side of man, Raven, Inc., searches for answers in areas that most people refuse to acknowledge even exists. Volume 3 collects issues 9-12. In this Volume, sheep killings by wolves draw Raven members to Wyoming. But when reports of wolves standing on their hind legs are circulated, it's time for Raven Inc. to check it out more seriously; The true life murder of young Mary Phagen in 1913 and the lynch hanging of Leo Frank in 1915 is investigated as one of the Raven members claims to see the ghost of a man named Alonzo Mann who, 80 years later, knows what really had happened to Mary and who killed her; Also the team head to the Ukraine in an attempt to capture a murderer preying on the victims of Chernobyl; And lastly Raven members head to Maine to investigate a series of strange murders. One victim is found full of pins, another is completely dismembered, and a third is found with the eyes gouged out. It seems like a case of revenge murders but how could a 10 year old boy be a victim?Presented are the creative talents of Gary Reed (Deadworld, Renfield), Christopher Jones (DC's Young Justice, Teen Titans Go!), Galen Showman (Hellboy, Star Wars), Avido Khahaifa (Saint Germaine), Jim Alexander (DC's Birds of Prey), Paul Kowalski (Beck and Caul), Martin Conaghan (Burke & Hare), and Will Pickering (FutureQuake).
