COMIC BOOK SPOTLIGHT – THURSDAY THIRST
GHOST WHISPERER – Issue #1
Written by Becca Smith & Carrie Smith Art by Elena Casagrande
IDW Publishing
I don’t watch the show much. I caught a few episodes, mainly because I have a crush on Jennifer Love Hewitt when she does jumping jacks, but the show about a girl that can talk to ghosts was… well, a rip-off of Medium. So when I got this book for review, I said to myself, “Open your mind and let in all that is Love Hewitt.” Luckily I did because this was actually a fun read through. Writers Becca Smith and Carrie Smith, whom have to remain separate or will steal each other’s clothing, appear to have some Whedon in them. They could easily write the Buffy the Vampire Slayer comic book as it very much felt like one with their quick wit and spunky tone. Especially when Professor Richard Payne does his best Giles explaining the history of Isis and Osiris, you get the feeling the Scooby Gang was going to pop out any second. Nope, just Love Hewitt and her two friends. The art is pretty good too by Elena Casagrande, again feeling very much like a Buffy or Angel comic book. The girls weren’t overly done in the shapes and curves either, something most male artists exemplify. Sex sells, so go with the flow. Elena says no. Real women wear clothing, and I dig that. So if you like ghosts, Buffy, and Jennifer Love Hewitt in comic book form, then this book is for you.

When the daily grind becomes numb. When the sex becomes dry. When the world around you thinks life is all about beating you down and never letting up, you imagine. You imagine if one thing in your life changed, it would make a difference. For Wesley Gibson, his life changed the moment his father was killed, and it’s a turning point everyone would kill for. No more bad days. Not for you at least…

Variety is the spice of life, and lucky for me, I love the spicy stuff. General Tso Chicken, Pace Picante Sauce, Wasabi Almonds, and Buffalo Wings. (With the chicken, Jessica.) So when it comes to movies, field trips, dates, and of course, food, the wider the scope, the more fun I’ll have. That definitely goes for books as some of my favorites are collections of short stories from the likes of horror masters Clive Barker, Steve Niles, and Stephen King. So when I came across Nerdcore’s comics anthology, Meathaus: S.O.S, I welcomed the many different and stylish yarns with invited hands, even though most of it wasn’t horror-related.
