Ghosted in L.A. #10
Daphne was just getting used to living with ghosts, but when a mysterious door in the basement flies open, Rycroft Manor is overwhelmed with even more strange phenomena than anyone knows how to deal with. And even worse, Daphne's former roommate Michelle has some ideas about how to handle a haunting… and it doesn't involve going gently into that good light.

About the author
Sina Grace
223 books145 followersSina Grace’s parents had big plans for their son: Ivy League schooling, professional credentials, a 6-figure income as a doctor– the works! Fortunately for us, he found the wonderful world of comics instead. It was in this world of contradictions that he “matured,” one foot teetering on the edge of academia, the other drawn to the inescapable grasp of an ink-bound fantasy underworld.
At 14, Grace seemingly appeased his parents by interning at Top Cow Productions, under the guidance of Editor-in-Chief Renae Geerlings (his single mother figured at least he was collecting college credit). However the only thing he was collecting (other than comics), was the compulsive habit of drawing unrealistically proportioned, scantily clad women.
At 16, he got a perpetual summer-time job at the Santa Monica landmark: Hi De Ho Comics, where he would be inspired to create Books with Pictures. By 17 he wrote, drew, and self-published his first comic, The Roller-Derby Robo-Dykes versus the Cannibals. His knowledge of disproportionate harlots with weapons came in handy when depicting a story about Robo-Dykes bent on taking over the world. His mother was happy that he was taking interest in girls. The book went into a second printing, and received the praise of Lying in the Gutters critic, Rich Johnston.
Weeks after graduating high school, he was asked by Rilo Kiley front-woman Jenny Lewis to illustrate a limited edition comic book adaptation of their 2004 record, More Adventurous. In the spring of 2006 he was asked to apprentice under comics genius, Howard Chaykin (even though it may not be apparent in Books with Pictures, Grace did learn the function of a ruler and the meaning of a vanishing point).
Between the summers of 2005 and 06, Grace’s partially-biographical indie dramedy, Books with Pictures, went from hand-xeroxed zines to full-fledged, full-sized comic books. Shortly after its debut at San Diego Comic-Con, Diamond Distributors accepted the series into their ordering catalogue, Previews. Grace’s work on the series was met with admiration from bloggers and reviewers alike, and has since taken on several projects for multiple anthologies due in late 2008.
To his parents’ delight, he graduated from the University of California, Santa Cruz, receiving an undergraduate degree in Literature, with an emphasis on Creative Writing.
Sina Grace recently self-published an illustrated novel about a sorcerer sleuth in Orange County, aptly named Cedric Hollows in Dial M for Magic, his next project will be providing illustrations for Amber Benson’s novel, Among the Ghosts, through Aladdin Books.

"We always hear about ghosts doing to the haunting. But that begs the question: can ghosts be haunted? That is a concept that Ghosted in L.A. #10 is ready to explore, if not answer. That probably means our ghostly friends are in for a bit of a rough ride.
Just when Daphne’s life with her new roommates finally felt like it was balancing out, a whole new series of events has occurred. They’re darker than ever, giving a hint to the depth that this series has been hiding this whole time. Add in the complications of the living, and suddenly this manor, this haven for ghosts, is looking a lot less like a haven…and more like a prison."

The weird door is open! I repeat the door is open and who knows what's going to happen from here on out!
Granted the door has been giving me uber creepy vibes for a few issues but I was invested in the ghosts and how much they've changed since the earlier issues in between the romances. With Michelle's character coming around more, I'm a little worried. I think she may be over her head and with the hints of something darker coming I really don't know whether to worry about the living or the dead.

We're all super stressed out because it seems like our house is haunted. Well --aside from us.
I'm getting curiouser and curiouser about what's behind that door that's scaring all of them so much.

THE PLOT THICKENS.

I liked the forward progression of the narration and the ways in which the ghosts and humans can physically connect, but the art being done all by Sina Grace didn't work. Odd proportions...

I’m nervous for Daphne and slightly worried Michelle is in way over her head and will get herself hurt.
