Brody's Ghost
review 1: A decent manga knock-off in black and white. Brody's girlfriend dumped him and he's gone in a mild downward spiral--just not bathing and cutting his hair/going from one dead end job to another. Teenage stuff. No serious issues here. Of course things get more complicated when he sees a ghost who needs his help. But he has nothing better to do and he could use the reward money so he decides to give it his best shot. A silly book with pretty simple dialogue bubbles that might interest reluctant teen readers. Very clean content so it would be a good fit for middle grade too.
review 2: Brody's Ghost is a graphic novel series centered around a sad man named Brody who finds out he can see ghosts (hence the title...). After a bad breakup with his girlfriend, Nicole, h
... moree lets his life get into ruin, until one day, while he is on the sidewalk busking for change, he sees a ghost. Later on, he finds out the ghost is named Talia, and she has a mission for him. She introduces him to an unusual mentor that helps him get his life back into shape and gives him purpose in the world.I read books 1-3, as that is all that's been published as of right now, and it was AMAZING! I couldn't put it down. The drawing style is quite good, and there are artist notes at the end of each volume that explain the thought behind many of the characters and locations in the book. The story ends on a cliffhanger at the end of each book, and I'm so mad I have to wait until at least March to find out what happens next!! less

A fun, half-hour read.Also one of the greatest mashups of western comics with manga style.
