Ghostopolis

genre: YA graphic novel, supernatural

Glad I finally took the time to read this. Odd story, but a terminally ill child accidentally gets sent to the afterlife by a somewhat slacker ghost hunter. Wanting to fix his mistake, Frank Gallows enlists the help of his one-time love Claire Voyant (clever, huh?) to get to Ghostopolis to rescue Garth Hale. Meanwhile, Garth is discovering that he has tremendous powers in the afterlife, drawing the attention of the evil Vaugner. My favorite part of the story was Garth's connections to his grandfather and his future son. Worth a second read!
