Cal McDonald, boozer, druggie, private dick who hangs with dead dudes - welcome to Rock Bottom.

When that chip turns into a nasty case of police brutality, Cal ends up fighting for his life in the intensive care unit and wakes up days later... sober. And what's Cal been missing since he went under? Only the most horrifying convergence of sheer monster power ever to emigrate from the old world. Cal McDonald, meet Nosferatu.

Karl Coven is a serial killer sentenced to die for his crimes, and Rick Jones the star witness in the prosecution's case. Claiming to be an alien not subject to our laws, Coven's argument is dismissed, but he gets the last laugh by promptly returning back to life immediately after his death sentence is executed. When a loophole in the legal system requires Coven to be set free, he comes to the attention of Captain Marvel, who's intrigued by the mysterious figure not only because of his apparent resurrection and immunity to Genis' Cosmic Awareness, but by the peculiarities of the judicial system that let the killer go free. Rather than annihilate Coven, he suggests that they become the law: Coven to be prosecution, and Marvel to be judge. Collects Captain Marvel (2002) #7-12.

The Goon himself was drawn by the power of the curse, but his soul is not consumed by this bleak place, and he discovers that he is the only hope for his town. Goon's greatest foe, the dead mobster Labrazio, mounts his assault from a macabre burlesque house, using the Zombie Priest and his demonic kitty to put on the squeeze.
