| Ghost Woman was a real mind blower, a REALLY entertaining read! I liked the little tweaks to the werewolf and ghost legends, such as werewolves being able to see ghosts, and ghosts being able to mix it up with werewolves. My favorite reveal was that if the werewolf crossed Ghost Woman's dead body, it would turn HER into a werewolf! And they even gave her story an actual ending, where she thinks to herself that she can rest in peace. Take THAT, Spawn! |

| Hey, this book was ALREADY in the RANDOM 12 a few weeks ago, what are the chances? |
|
| This is not a 'keeper'. The Ghost Woman story was good but there are too many pages missing from the rest of the magazine. :( |
|
| This is Ghost Woman - but it's filed under 'Star Studded Comics' which is on the thumbnail but not on the site.
Is it on the site but just not linked? |
|
| Glad to see a portion of this comic. Wish it were complete. |
|
| I thought this looked interesting and I’d give it a go. The first story- Ghost Girl – was certainly surprising. It implied there was a continuum with, shall we say, the supernatural at one end and the natural at the other. The ghost is supernatural; the werewolf..umm…mixed race and the human natural. Thus the werewolf can interact with both but the ghost and human cannot.
The art on Red Rogue was nice and crisp with some very atmospheric panels and an intriguing murder weapon! Captain Combat (with a hand-me-down Green Lantern outfit) blitzes a Christmas crook by dashing, dancing and prancing and even manages to play cupid with a vixen at comet speed. Meanwhile, Betty Babble in Green Arrow chic fashionably rewrites the script to toss the villain off his mount. |
|
| The murder in the Red Rogue story reminds me of John Dickson Carr's The Problem of the Wire Cage. It's not quite the same but similar. In both cases a person was murdered on a tennis court with no apparent way for the murderer to get to him. |
|
| I have the whole comment and am happy to upload it BUT I don't know how to upload on this site - can someone help me? |
