Daphne settles into her new life as a resident of Rycroft Manor, and the unique challenge of living with ghosts. Pros: they don’t steal her food. Cons: It’s the first date she’s been on since Ronnie, and her roommates keep popping up all over the place. Literally.

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.

I've never read a graphic novel but this was on scribd and a youtuber I watch recommended this series and it seemed cool but it's just not for me. I think graphic novels can be fun but they are just maybe a bit... watered down for me. Nothing about this series holds my attention or makes me want to find out more. The protagonist is honestly cringey and I feel her journey to find herself among all this is a cool idea but I would rather read it as a contemporary novel where there is more depth to the character, but I think that is more a testament to me not enjoying graphic novels. The art is pretty but not interesting enough that I need to see more of it. I think it just comes down to taste, which sucks because I really want to like graphic novels (are these novels or more like chapters?? They are so short)

I love Keenan's artwork and the coloring is equally great to look at but I feel like the story is meh.
Daphne is my problem. I like the little I've read of the ghosts inhabiting the Manor and I'm intrigued more but then then the MC.
Maybe there's more to Daphne that will come out in the other issues but so far it's still too early to tell.

Okay yup I’m in it now; this is intriguing. I have no idea what anything means and I’m fascinated by the storylines here!! Also are Zola and our MC gunna kiss? or is the ultra christian roommate going to turn out to be a big old lesbian? UNCLEAR but I’m here for it
rep: Jewish MC, queer side characters, side characters of color
spice: none

They may have taken my job and my husband, but they'll never be able to take my home. Rycroft Manor will be my blessing.
The plot has been pretty ~boring so far and the most interesting part of this issue was Agi's flashback. Daphne really is a terribly annoying main character...

Not sure I'm going to read any more of this comic. I like the premise and the ghost characters really draw me in, but I don't really love Daphne as a protagonist and her non-ghost-world problems do nothing for me.

Daphne literally risks the ghosts safety and just talks about herself and her current struggles. That annoyed me but I will say the panel were Ricky and I think Agi? scare off that guy was made so well. Best panel so far.

More of a 3.5 star rating;
I feel bad that Daphne went through this bad stuff but at least she didn’t get kicked out of the Manor. Hopefully things start to look up in the next comic issue or 2.

Daphne is quite naive, but she's also only 18. I liked her interactions with Ricky, and it was nice to see a bit of Agi's background. The art remains positively adorable!

This was a mess of an issue but I still believe in this comic
