review:

'Anomal' is a series of seemingly disconnected stories about ghosts or spirits. Overall, it was a kind of uneven collection, and I liked some of them more than others.



The stories are read from beginning to end, Western style, but the panels are read right to left, manga style. This is explained up front, so they get kudos for that. The cover is pretty striking and it's why I picked up the book. The character in the cover image is in the first story, then no more. Which is too bad because I liked that story the best, about a woman who regains her sight only to sacrifice it again later. The stories have to do with the supernatural. Primarily ghosts, hauntings and spirits. There are people enamored with ghosts, and detectives trying to solve hauntings. There is a character who only gets good ideas when he is hit, so he tries to get a ghost to move in with him so she can hit him every day. Some of the stories seem to end abruptly.



It wasn't my favorite. The art was okay for the style and the humor wasn't too bad. I didn't like how the stories just ended and I felt like some stories were better than others.



I received a review copy of this graphic novel from Diamond Book Distributors and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.
