I do not read comics often, but I am trying to get more into them. I love how you get written and visual art, making a different reading experience.
However, when I do read comics, I like to have a different experience- something that translates beautifully through the combination of writing and visuals, and unfortunately, that was not the experience I had reading this.

The concept of the comic was that the main characters were able to see and speak with ghosts; that's about it. While this is only the first installment in a series and is not supposed to be a finished storyline, it did not leave me curious about what happens next. I found the plot boring and the kind of ghost-infused story you have read a million times before, and it did little to stand out from the rest of its kind.

However, I did appreciate the visual changes when the comic jumped in time, especially color-wise; I think that worked well and was a smart choice.
Other than that, it did not stand out to me and ultimately left me unimpressed.

Thanks to the publisher for providing me with an advanced reading copy via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

This is super easy: If you're a SPN fan, you'll love this.
It's a little more graphic than SPN although the core give me the vibes.

I keep saying this and I mean it: Cullen Bunn is hit or miss, and maybe he wants a living wage but him rushing through all these scripts does absolutely nothing for the reading experience. His best titles are where he lets the storytelling breathe, and he's done it before. I'd love to see him do it again. I doubt it'll be Ghostlore, which plows past character development for plot–which is too bad, because he's got two great leads here. If he took a little more time to make them people and not devices, this would be a story to follow. But if all you want is spooky ghosts, their stories, and a mysteeerious dude, here you go.
