This was an excellent little comic from Aminder Dhaliwal, author of several works of social commentary-bent sci fi and fantasy comics. Characters work at a job agency for ghosts, to make up in part for unfinished business before their passing. What begins as an attempt to bring in some money for their families from beyond the grave quickly becomes an insufficient attempt to make up for unfinished business. It serves as a poignant commentary on boundaries between life and work under capitalism. I highly recommend this one, and if you like it, check out all of the other comics created at Shortbox, a indie comics publisher in the UK publishing hit after hit.

The premise is very funny, but the story is a little confusing at times. Really like the art style, though!

I don't often review books before reading them completely. My daughter ordered this comic and I picked it up in her room and started reading it. I was laughing and laughing at the first 5 pages. Then my daughter got mad. "Mom! I'm saving that for after finals! You can't read it first."
Anyway, if you have a copy I'd love to sneak the rest of the story!
