He Sees Ghosts And Fights Them: ComiXology Announces ‘Grammaton Punch’ With A First Look

by Olly MacNamee

Writer Miles Gunter, artist Briane Andan, colourist Lee Loughridge, and letterer Taylor Esposito have teamed up for a new digital-first comic book series, Grammaton Punch, “an all-new, action-packed comic book series about a boy who sees and fights ghosts.”

“When Van starts his freshman year, he is shocked to discover his high school is ruled by a gang of ghosts feeding off his classmates’ energy. The gang’s leader is Zags, a powerful feeder who got the best of Van in the past and is now eager for round two. What’s worse, Van’s mom doesn’t believe that there are ghosts. In order to survive, Van will need to level up.”

Miles Gunter spoke more about this new series that cites BPRD, Terminator, and Weird War Tales as inspirations:

“In Grammaton Punch, Van Nguyen was born during a solar eclipse and while that might sound cool, it’s not. That’s because eclipse babies are born with something extra and, for Van Nguyen, that means he can see ghosts.

“Van’s abilities to see and fend off the spirits feeding off the living cause him to keep other people at arm’s length as he believes relationships are a weakness spirits can exploit. Sometimes we can get locked into patterns of behavior that feel safe but keep us closed off from the possibilities of life. Grammaton Punch is about the consequences, both good and bad, that come about when the world gives you the opportunity to do things differently.”
