Harper Connelly can find dead people and see how they've died.. A skill that doesn't make her life easier.

Good comic, just a little too short for my taste, so luckily it is a series. The art is good at conveying the story, but not very interesting in itself.
Maybe I sound a bit negative about it, but it was fine really. A pleasant in between reading snack.

I read the whole thing in one big binge reading sitting. It was great. It was a nice mystery, and it made me want to read the book series that it's based on, so all in all, I think it was definitely worth the hour or so it took to read.

Decent enough graphic novel, though it's tough to tell from just one volume. There's definitely potential here, but whether it will be realized remains to be seen.

interesting... full review up on blog soon!

Reading this comic series is my excuse not to put myself through any lengthy Charlaine Harris disappointments again. I've repeatedly thought about reading her Harper Conolly series, but everyone says it's not as good as the Sookie novels and even those have gone massively downhill. So the easy way out is to read the graphic novels - you get the general gist of what's happpening without spending hours on a series that is just going to sputter out and die towards the end.

As it happens, I thought this was a decent opening and I look forward to reading further installments condensed into graphic novel format. Harper Conolly was struck by lightning as a child and has gained the strange ability to locate dead people and sense how they died, sounds interesting enough and so far it is. Harper Conolly, as much as I can tell from a graphic novel, seems a very different character from Sookie Stackhouse. Physically, she reminds me of Lisbeth from The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, no blonde-haired, big-boobed girly-girl here it seems - but then it's hard to get a huge grasp on the characters when reading a graphic novel (one of the downsides). She also seems a lot more of a detached and "I take shit from no one" kind of heroine, which is fine by me.

I will definitely look out for more, there wasn't enough here to really rate successfully so I might re-think the 3 stars as the series progresses.

Struck by lightening she, Harper, can hear the dead and how they died. He and her brother, Tolliver, travel from town to town searching for the dead. Shunned by many as a witch, she struggles to offer help. They travel to a small Arkansas town to find a lost teen girl and make many more discoveries along the way.
I am a fan of this series from the novels and totally enjoyed “seeing” drawn out in this form. Fabulous art work and drawings. My only complaint, I wish it was longer.

Loved the novel version and graphic novel is pretty good as well. :) Need to get a hold of part 2 and 3 now from the library.

Just read this in about 20 minutes. It's fun, but nothing special. Harris's new heroine looks like Lisbeth Salander and, thanks to being struck by lightning, has the ability to "find the dead and see how they died."
