Ghosted in L.A. Vol. 3 by Sina Grace

 

This is a review of all 3 volumes. 

 

The reason I don’t really read comics/graphic novels/manga it because I don’t think I’m very good at reading them, it’s like my brain can’t compute words and images at the same time in book form.  

 

However, this graphic novel just felt empty to me.  I don’t understand most of the characters and the ones I do I don’t particularly like, everything tended to happen at lightning speed and it just left me feeling unsatisfied, I felt like there wasn’t any real conflict even though the story tried to tell me there was and Daphne wasn’t very likeable, we were told that her friend was controlling but the examples used just showed me that Daphne was an asshole – her friend criticises Daphne following her boyfriend to L.A and Daphne calls her jealous and then when her friend travels to L.A to see Daphne after she doesn’t call or message her it ends up with Daphne yelling at her because after she wants to see where she lives (and Daphne doesn’t even apologise, actually she thinks she did the right thing) – all it showed me was Daphne, quite honestly being a jackass.  I wanted more of the ghosts and to see their lives (although Bernard being an adult ghost and being interested in Ronnie was … weird to say the least) and not Zola, cause just like Daphne, she was kind of insufferable, no wonder the liked each other. 

 

I did like the artwork though.
