A very confusing comic where you get thrown a bunch of characters and then more ghost characters but an interesting plot I suppose.
rbreade's review against another edition
Great art by Wijngaard and a terrific premise by Watters--a haunted house that wants some of its haunted items returned to it from where they've been scattered through the city--though he rushes the story, the punk rock element is hit or miss, and the mash-up in the latter half of the story with science fiction, a shadowy government agency, and kaiju battles serve only to deepen the story's identity crisis.

Wow. Looooved it. It was funny and scary and gory and spooky and kept me surprised. Characters were fun. I felt like the story contained a lot of usual graphic novel/scifi and horror story elements and still combined them in a fresh new way. Hoping my library buys volume 2 and 3 or eventually I will.

I liked it but it was a little confusing to follow along with

The volume started off cool, but the last two issues didn't make any sense. I honestly thought I missed some pages when I read it. The book does have one of the coolest panels I've seen- it's the one where the two groups enter the house at the same time.

"We should throw a gig in the house that kills people" sure, okay
I'd eat it up if the story revolved around the punk band with occasional ghosts here and there because the visuals in the first volume were absolutely everything I needed in a comic. Unfortunately I felt the story struggled to keep up with the atmosphere and I found myself confused (turns out you can follow the text and images and still don't know what's going on).

HSP was ok, the colours, art and concept were all great but it felt like it needed to be fleshed out that little bit more, instead it seemed to be a surface level horror ghost story.
This can sometimes happen with graphic novels though and I will read the second volume to see if the plot has been brought to life a bit more.

Nice comic! What I liked most about it was the artwork, especially the monster designs. The double page of the two groups walking through the house is so cool. The story is fine, not particularly outstanding. I liked it enough to want to read the next volume, definitely.
