Previously, Carter and Baxter chased Tommy Jordan into a creepy old house...

PAGE SEVEN

PANEL ONE: CARTER and BAXTER shiver with the creeps as they hear childish laughter.

NARR:
That’s when we heard it, coming from the basement. Laughter.

NARR2:
The laughter of a child.

PANEL TWO: Creeped out, BAXTER and CARTER instinctively draw closer together, eyeing the space around them.

BAXTER:
That just sets my hair on end.

CARTER:
Isn’t doing me any good, either.

PANEL THREE: CARTER and BAXTER descend down to the basement. CARTER is in the lead this time.

NARR:
Down to the basement we went - because hey, after seeing one serial voodoo killer’s lair, what’s one more?

PANEL FOUR: CARTER sees the silhouette of who he thinks is Tommy Jordan in the basement gloom.

NARR:
There was a kid there all right…

PANEL FIVE: Seen from behind, we see the back of BRANDON BLISS, and we see CARTER’s horrified reaction. Behind him, in shadows, looms BAXTER who is beginning to transform.

NARR:
...but not the one we expected.
