Okay, so I don’t like outsized comics. Who does? It’s like with CDs, when you’d get something in a weird sleeve and wonder where you were going to put the thing. Comics that are halfway between comic size and magazine size are just a royal pain in the arse. Such is Spectregraph.
Nice art, mind, but terrible pacing, with endless dialogue across routine panels. An estate agent with a kid phones a friend t explain she needs a baby sitter while she goes to a property, otherwise she’ll have no option but to leave her baby boy sitting in his chair for hours, as this sale could change everything in her chaotic life.
The house being sold belonged to some occult weirdo who devoted his life to trying to prove ghosts existed and then when he couldn’t decided he might create ghosts. The interested buyers are clearly weird and while the idiot estate agent wants to be in and out quickly so she can get home to her son (yep, she left him) she is led astray then locked in. With something…
Okay, good story and there’s tension there because of the kid but I won’t be buying any more because I don’t need the hassle. However, if you’re not phased by the annoying size this is definitely recommended.
