Ghosted in L.A. #6
It’s never a good thing when your ex has a crush on your roommate. It’s awkward enough that the part where Daphne’s roommates are all ghosts isn’t even the weirdest part of the situation. Daphne is about to learn that personal drama doesn’t stop when your heart does.

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.

So is Daphne feeling Zola, the dead Rockstar Girl? I’m thinking so. I’m feeling it. I’d like to see what happens..it sure seems her ex boyfriend is feeling one of the ghosts himself and he’s feeling him as well. I can dig it..not sure how far a crush on a ghost can go but maybe that’s one of the plots that’ll keep the series going..
Anyway. Daphne’s best friend tracks her down in this one and homegirl- while I felt for her-she was a bit much so when Daphne finally SNAPS and stands up for herself it’s like..okay! The testing of an old friendship and I liked how Daphne handled it. Her bestie seems super codependent on Daphne and their friendship and honey! Daphne is a new college student living in a house full of ghosts..AINT NOBODY GOT TIME for friends who cant navigate these streets on their own.

"Daphne’s life has been facing a whole lot of changes as of late. And Ghosted in L.A. #6 is about to introduce even more change – and drama – into her life. You’d think living in a house full of ghosts would be more than enough to keep one girl busy. And for the most part, you’d be right. But that’s not enough to keep ex-boyfriends and determined best friends away.
At a glance, Daphne’s situation may seem perfect. She gets to live in a mansion and learn all about these cool ghosts that reside in the house. But the more you look, the more you can find awkward situations popping up all over the place. And that’s a lesson Daphne is going to learn again and again if this pattern keeps holding.
Ghosted in L.A. has been a vibrant series, which is slightly ironic given that most of the characters are quite dead. And yet it’s one of the more unique series out there—showcasing what a creative team can do when they want to focus on an entirely different kind of story."

This is a series I find has it's ups and downs and this was an "up" issue for me!
Lots of crushing is happening and oddly enough I'm feeling all of them but also a little worried - Like how far can one crush on a ghost before being heartbroken because that's a very high possibility. Like they are ghosts and I hate to say it but they're dead and the reality of them coming back is ZERO but you do you!
I'm actually glad that Daphne had some kind of a break-through, even if it was at the expense of her friend but honestly her best friend, who's name I forgot, was bossing her around and being overly pushy to boot so kudos to her for standing up for herself. Like all of them are going through their own things and sometimes, people just need to figure things out on their own.
Thanks to that cliffhanger ending, I have to read on. Hopefully it's another solid read...let's see.

I really liked the dynamic of what happens when old friendships are tested. I wish I had had the spine to say some of these things to people who I love and yet who are too much to handle sometimes. Also Zola cliffhanger!

More of a 3.5 star rating;
I’m still apprehensive about Zola but I really like the friendship Ronnie has with some of the ghosts as well as his newfound friendship with Daphne. Speaking of friendships, I hope Daphne and Kristi can recover from this argument.

Daphne and Kristi finally see each other after their big argument—which eventually leads to an even bigger argument that they may not be able to come back from. Shirley’s story about her son was just as tragic as I thought it would be.

Oooh cliffhanger ending! Still still love.

What's worse than one annoying character? Another annoying character. Another flat and boring issue where nothing much happens...
