This had a great premise and good execution, but I didn't love the art and the characters were doing absolutely nothing for me.

Me gustó mucho la idea de Ghosted. Un viejo ricachón hace sacar de prisión a Jackson Winters con mucho ruido y un motín de por medio para encargarle un trabajo. Necesita que reúna un equipo para entrar a la mansión Trask, famosa por estar embrujada y pronta a ser demolida, y que atrapen un fantasma para su colección privada de cosas raras.
Así vemos los preparativos, las misiones de reconocimiento, los secretos sucios y los problemas para llevar a cabo la misión. Quedé muy satisfecha con el desenlace. Por un lado no me molestaría que se terminara todo ahí, pero a la vez me da curiosidad qué sigue en la vida embrujada de Winters.

YES! Ghosts, heists, and double-crosses?? This is right up my alley. And I love that each arc is a contained story following our main character. Given that the author wrote Nailbiter, I should never have had a doubt! Time to pick up volume two.

Was kinda hoping this would have been better than it was. It reminds me of some haunted house movies from the 90s. So basically this wasn't very original. Not sure if I will read the next volume or not.

The combination of heist and ghost story is quite interesting and worked far better than I expected. The characters start off as a bit one-dimensional but that changes a bit at the end. I hope that change continues throughout the next trades. I also liked, that it is a complete story. So you don't have to buy the next trade volumes, but if you're intrigued there's more to come.

Interesting. Could've been better, but it definitely caught my attention that's for sure. Good writing, nice atmosphere, not the best characters but there's room for them to grow. Between this and the new Flash series I think I'm becoming a bit of a Williamson fan.

Excellently paced throwback o EC Horror comics. Mix of heist and haunted ghost story.

I'm not really a big horror fan these days, but I do love a heist story, so when I saw this described as heist-meets-horror, it sounded fun enough to dip into. The series gets off to a terrible start, with the opening panel a full-page depiction of a jailhouse rape of a small white guy by a huge musclebound, tattooed, African-American. I guess maybe it's meant to play on the most stereotypical fears the intended audience for the comic, but it comes across as strangely racist, and then, reading on, completely extraneous to the storyline. I almost put the book back on the shelf at that point.
However, I did read on, and eventually settled into the story, which involves the breakout of a heist specialist from prison and his deal with a rich collector of occult arcana. He is to assemble a team to steal a ghost from a notorious mansion, and in exchange, won't get tossed back in jail. From there on out, the story proceeds along classic heist beats -- the assembling the diverse team, the initial research, a potential early setback, a character is shown to the audience to be something a little darker than expected, the clever solution to the central problem of the heist, and then the heist itself, and... well, I won't reveal the end, but there's another classic beat that's hit.
It's a solid story and the artwork is totally my speed -- I tend to like art that's more on the realistic and detailed side. The lines are nice, the color work is great, and they came up with a nice solution to depicting the supernatural elements. Once you get past the opening misstep, definitely worth a read if you like crime and/or horror stories.
