This was a really cute graphic novel all about monsters that live in Scare City. We follow Gina, a half witch-half zombie who, along with her friends, are trying to figure out what's going on with the mysterious light that seems to be taking people in the middle of the night. Can they figure out what's going on before the residents of Scare City turn on each other? You'll have to check this out to find out for yourself!

I loved this title. The characters and artwork were wonderful. Unfortunately, the digital copy was not a more complete version. Thankfully I received a copy at ALA.

I really wished this was a finished galley. I was really into the story and the art, but on page 58 the words disappeared and we only had the art. The art is amazing and so is the colorist, but there is too much going on to figure out from the pictures alone. Around page 74 we loose the color and only have the black and white frames. This is okay, and I still like the artwork, but as mentioned before, you can not follow the storyline. The story line as I followed is a Scare city is full of monsters who have created their own polite society and is breaking down as people are killed with a strange light. Our main character is a zombie mom who is kind of funny. She wants to figure out what is happening and save her community. Her vampire husband has to go back to scaring when the bakery profits slow down because of the strife. I really do look forward to seeing the final version of this graphic novel.

Scare City is a comic that I read through Netgalley. It's basically about an underground world where all monsters live harmoniously. Then something happens to upset the delicate peace between the different monster groups. It's up to a half zombie/witch named Gina, and a group of friends, to solve the mystery and save the underground world. I enjoyed the artwork, but I felt the story was very juvenile. The characters were fun, but not very fleshed out. I probably won't be continuing with this series.

I can't review this title as it was sent to me as a graphic novel without graphics. I can see all of the word bubbles, but no art in any of the panels.
