    Default Five ghosts

    Since Five ghosts has been named frequently in http://community.comicbookresources....ed-Image-comic , I though it deserved it own thread.

    The five Ghost:

    Five ghost is great adventure series written by Frank J. Barbiere , Illustrated by Chris Mooneyham but it also has fantastic colourist Lauren Affe which is becoming one of by favourite colourist.

    I love this comic and wish it sold more copies. The thing about this comic is that it is just plain fun. I love the coloring and the dialogue and the sense of adventure. I am so glad it is coming back for a third arc in October.

    I also think the flash back scenes are fantastic

    Agree completely. I picked up the first trade on a whim and enjoyed the hell out of it. One of those books where the story and the art is just a match made in heaven.

    "After a tragic encounter with an artifact known as “The Dreamstone,” infamous treasure hunter Fabian Gray was possessed by five literary ghosts [ the samurai, the archer, the wizard, the detective, the vampire] and has been granted access to their unique abilities."

    I picked up the first trade when it made a bunch of the year's best lists at the end of last year and fell in love with upon reading it. It was well into the second arc, so I waited for the second trade to read that, but I will buy the floppies to support it when the third arc comes out. As long as Barbiere and Mooneyham keep making this series, I'll keep buying it.

    Interesting. I'm not sure how well this will translate into TV, but I hope it means we can expect the comic to continue for some time to come.
