Brody hoped it was just a hallucination. But no, the teenaged ghostly girl who'd come face to face with him in the middle of a busy city street was all too real.

Crilley Does It Again

Picked up Brody's Ghost yesterday and devoured it that evening. Mark Crilley's writing is engaging and exciting. Crilley's art is also amazing. While you can see Crilley's Manga influences, his own style comes out and I truly love it. I think Mark Crilley is a hidden treasure among the throng on the manga bookshelf. This series is a must read for me.

Very, very enjoyable

As someone who has read Miki Falls, I was pleased to see that Brody's Ghost is very different. Mark Crilley has a broad imagination, and the stories have no similarities. Regardless, the art remains fantastic and the story is just as (if not more so) engaging as the story of his last series. It's a short read, but it felt well-developed and it's definitely worth it for the price. The characters are intriguing, and I'm already anticipating the sequel! I would check it out.

Mark Crilley returns with Brody's Ghost!

I just got my copy of Brody's Ghost in the mail today, and the first thing I noticed that the book overall was thinner than Crilley's other manga Miki Falls. But that doesn't change my opinion of the manga book. Brody's Ghost is amazing! I don't know where to begin with the detail in each panel; every detail is just astounding! Every location, every person, everything is just packed with amazing detail! The realistic manga style that is used in the book is crazy good; it slightly resembles the Death Note manga! The story is very good so far; Brody, a poor man who lives in his run down apartment, struggles to get through life, until one day he meets Talia, a deceased girl in the form of a ghostly figure, who tells Brody of his psychic powers that he was not aware that he had. I cannot go any further than that; I do not want to spoil it. Mark Crilley has done an extremely great job creating Brody's Ghost. It truly is an amazing book, although it's the only one available at the time. I do not know when the next book will be out, but I know I will be pre-ordering it ASAP! If you are a fan of Mark Crilley's work Akiko or Miki Falls, then Brody's Ghost is something that you will LOVE! Buy it now!
