This series comes to a conclusion as Cullen Bunn brings this story to a brilliant and bittersweet conclusion with a plot filled with action and tension. From start to finish, this series was perfectly paced through 12 issues; the build of suspense, the shocking moments, the exposition, the character development and the switch uo from suspense and horror to thriller was well done in the end. Leomacs delivers some fantastic art throughout the volume. The visuals are stunning and filled with gorgeous details. In the end the story and emotional elements of the series come together with some great moments between Lucas and Harmony that culminate in a final confrontation with Shane amidst a dangerous storm. Overall I would recommend this series to fans of horror comics.

[Review for all 3 volumes]
Ghostlore's an interesting idea. A father and daughter lose their wife/mother, and develop the ability to see ghosts. The father uses that power to force them into servitude, while the daughter hears their stories and allows them to move on. Of course, their power attracts the attention of a powerful figure who wants to use it to bring about the end of the world. Business as usual.
The other interesting idea's one we've seen before, a different artist turns up each issue to draw the stories that the ghosts are imparting.
I think the problem with both these ideas is that they're kinda flat overall. I literally cannot remember any of the guest artists across the series, and while the two main characters split up and come back together a few times over the twelve issues, the actual 'lesson' that they're learning as they go along doesn't really feel earned by the end. It feels like this is how the story was supposed to end, so it will, but even the characters don't seem entirely convinced.
The secret's in the execution, no matter how good your ideas are, and while Ghostlore's definitely readable, it never really becomes more than that.

This last volume, which I hope is the last volume, is bad. The whole series is about a father and daughter who can talk to ghosts. Listen to them or not. They all want to tell their stories so they can move on. The art is nice. I just kept turning the page so quickly because there was little to no conversation or reveal. The idea at the end is understandable, buy damn BUNN, you moved to fast and rushed.

Not bad. Suffers a bit from how fast Bunn flies through everything. Feels like a 36 issue series condensed into 12. The series is about a father and daughter who can talk to ghosts. They all want to tell their stories so they can move on. Meanwhile, there's some kind of evil version of the 2 of them who is gathering monsters. It all wraps up decently but quickly.

Didn’t go where I thought it might and still not 100 per cent on where it ended. Didn’t quite stick the landing but great story with cool ideas

Eh. I really liked the premise and the art, but I would have liked a different focus for the main story bc Harmony was cool and everyone should have listened to her. These stars are for her.
