Reception

"Night Marchers" isn't much of a mystery. The culprit will seem obvious as will the rationale behind the haunting crime, but Michael Kraiser gets points for breaking from the formula in the conclusion and conjecturing a novel mask for the gang to pull away.

Steve Neeley and Paul Becton relish the change in setting as well as the change in dress for the gang. Daphne fans will definitely want this issue.
