As hazing in no longer legal on college campuses, fraternities and sororities have had to find a new way to test the mettle of their pledges – Ghosting. Ghosting, is designed to scare pledges out of their wits with pranks designed to play on their greatest fears. However what happens if the ghosts are real?
Reviewer Comments:
Number three is definitely a good look at what’s to come in the last two installments. We’ve seen everything from mind games, to gory pranks in the last two. Now things start to break down. As some of the main characters are split up from their friends and the fraternity, the dark workings of something sinister comes into play. What mysteries lie beyond death? How can anyone escape vengeance from something no one understands, or is this all more to an elaborate prank? (Btw I think I’m kind of starting to like Ghoster, read it you’ll know what I mean.:p )
The story continues to dish out what it needs to keep its flow. Also some pretty unique approaches were taken in a few of these panels that kind of creeped me out. Now if the story can just hold onto that and expand, which I think is the direction were going in, it can definitely end with a solid bang. I’m also happy to say that were starting to see some of the character’s personalities beyond the black and white. I really do think that everything this comic has been building up to will turn out into a pretty good story line.
Just as I was hoping though, I needed to sit through a few issues first, and those first two were pretty decent to sit through. Now the waiting game for the final two chapters, and what they could possibly have in store for what’s left of the two fraternities, as well as this comic book series.
