This one was an improvement over the first volume, in terms of story and art.
I can kinda see who the actors are that are playing "muse" to the artists. Seems like this time around, the decided to at least let the paper versions match up better with real life counterparts.
Better story that flowed much better than the one in volume one. Not enough to make me wanna watch the show as JLH's acting and voice make me wanna rip my eyes out and stuff them in my ears for plugs. But I won't run from another installment of this series if I come across it, cheap.

Reading this graphic novel brought all the fond memories back of Melinda and Jim, Delia, her son, and other characters.

I guess if you like Jennifer love Hewitt this graphic novel is for you. Plot...meh. might be with the $1.49 I paid for it.

This was the second Ghost Whisperer comic book I got in my hands (thanks to one of my best friends) and I was so happy to see that there were more then the one I had read (Ghost Whisperer: The Haunted). This story was really good, it interested me a lot and I liked the drawings better then the ones of GW: The Haunted. The story was interesting, maybe a little bit predictable but still very good and a nice read. Most definitely a great comic book for all GW fans!

Not quite as good as the first book, but it is still a great addition to the TV show.

The art isn't much of an improvement from the first book but the story felt like a proper Ghost Whisperer episode.
