I read the first five volumes separately, but was happy to see this collected edition with those chapter as well as the long-awaited conclusion. It's a good story, but as I learned in rereading the first five chapters in this edition, it's not particularly memorable. The conclusion would not been nearly as satisfying if I hadn't started again from the beginning. Overall it's an enjoyable serial killer supernatural action thriller, though lacking in depth. Still, it might make a good popcorn movie. ( )

I had picked up the first volume of Brody’s Ghost last year and read it and loved it. However, I didn’t really want to buy all the other volumes separately (they are really short and not available at my library). So I was very excited to hear that this was being released. It was a very well done supernatural thriller/mystery and I enjoyed it a lot.

Brody is going through rough times when Talia, the ghost of a teenaged girl, finds him and coerces him into helping her solve a mystery involving a serial killer and strangled women.

This book does a wonderful job of presenting a creepy and complicated mystery that is fun to watch unfold. Brody goes through some serious character development along the way; getting his life back on track and finding his place...all while trying to solve this mystery.

I also really loved the the old samurai ghost who trains Brody; he is hilarious and lots of fun.

The illustration is really well done and I enjoyed it a lot. The drawing is all black and white (I usually prefer color), but it sucked me into the story so thoroughly I didn’t notice the lack of color. The frames are very easy to follow and character expressions are really well done, as are the action scenes.

Overall a fantastic graphic novel that I would definitely recommend. Especially recommended to those who like supernatural mystery types of graphic novels. ( )
