Purchased this because I watch and have learned some from Mark Crilley's YouTube Learn to Draw videos and he always plugs his books at the end of his videos.

The story jumps about a bit, and I read the book entirely in one 45 minute session. I'm on the fence. I can't decide if I like the story's potential enough to get the rest or not. I'm ambivalent.

I will say it wasn't awful and it was fascinating to see what Mr. Crilley demonstrates in the practical final result, as opposed to the drawings done on YT. If you haven't seen his videos, they're worth checking out. You'll pick up tips and ideas even if an experienced artist.

Mark Crilley is *criminally* underrated in the comics industry. He's beloved by those that know him, but too few know him. Akiko, his earlier work, is a masterpiece that can most easily be described as Star Wars meets Wizard of Oz filtered through the sensibilities of Miyazaki. After that, the four part Miki Falls is a wonderful piece of supernatural romance.

And now we have Brody's Ghost, drawing on Crilley's asian influences to create a story of ghosts and psychic power wrapped up in a empowering oneself theme with fantastic characters, beautiful art and a very promising story.

Fans of Jeff Smith or Kazu Kibuishi's work should *definitely* check this out. It's a great opener, I can't wait for more, and I hope more people discover Crilley's work.

This one felt really short and like not much was going on. Hopefully it picks up in the next book!

Çoxdandır oxumaq istəyirdim. Yazarı youtube-da takip edirəm bir neçə ildi. Ve kendisini çok severim :D
İlk cild olduğu üçün hekayəyə giriş idi. Və bəzi hissələrdə ağlımda suallar yaranırdı. Görək sonrakı cildlər necə olacaq :)

Brody meets the ghost of a dead girl, who claims she was murdered and she needs his help to track down her killer and bring him to justice. Brody can barely believe he's talking to a ghost, let along being asked to be a detective and to train with the ghost of a samurai warrior! Fun, short, fast-paced manga-ish style graphic novel with great illustrations.

I really liked the art and the characters and I like where the story is going, but this comic was a little bit too short. Nothing major happened this volume. I'm guessing I'll have to wait for the next volume.
I do really appreciate the author and his work so I will definately be reading the rest of the series
