Ghosted in L.A. #7
Ghosted in L.A. #7
The one condition of Daphne’s residency at the Rycroft Manor—no one can find out about the ghosts. So far, Daphne is crushing it. Only, like, four people have found out. It’s fine! Except, maybe not, because the most recent person to find out is her ultra-religious former roommate, who knows too much about exorcism for comfort.

About the author
Sina Grace
227 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.

"Ghosted in L.A. #7 is another emotionally charged issue, full of character development and twists. In short, it’s exactly what we fans have been hoping for. After all, it’s not every day you get to read about a college student living with a bunch of ghosts. While Daphne’s predicament is out of the ordinary (to put it mildly), there has always been something very human about this series. Perhaps that’s because each and every one of the ghosts has their own unique personality and charm.
Admittedly, the sheer level of drama doesn’t hurt, either. Daphne is one of those people born to getting herself into trouble, and that has made her journey all the more interesting for the readers. But that is just part of the reason why this series has been so worth reading."

I'm saddened that I'm past the half way mark for the series and this is where it's starting to pick up.
If it wasn't for the art, quite honestly, I might have DNF'd this earlier and returned the unread issues to the library but I stuck with it and between #6 and this issue, I'm glad I did.
I'm super excited to see more ghost interactions as each one has a very distinct personality which is starting to come out thanks to the writing, plus there's the weird ectoplasm? that's sneaking around the house that I need to know more of and in addition, Daphne's odd roommate is back and there's more to her than I gave her credit for in the earlier issues.

This was the most character-driven issue yet. I would like to appreciate the fact that Daphne and Ronnie are still friends despite his sudden breaking up with her and coming out, but I actually feel bad for him because he has to listen to her speak like she's the only person on the planet who has problems. One of the ghosts wants to leave Rycroft! This is my favorite cover now!

I like the digging into the history of the house, especially with the ectoplasm ink sneaking behind that mysterious door. I also like The Good Place vibe of being allowed to move on. Also, the library was totally the library from the first episode of season four of Buffy!

More of a 3.5 star rating;
I like that this comic issue we got to see the ghosts interact with each other more. I’m worried about Daphne’s former(?) roommate: Michelle... She went from distant and a bit harsh to nosey and a bit suspicious.
