Whitney Jamimah's Reviews > Night of the Ghoul

I've sat on me feeling for this one for a few days now and my heart wants to give this 4 stars but my head is telling me 3. This time I am going to listen to my head.

The beginning of this was great. That set up and build up was superb. I loved the use of the panels where intermittently you could see the creepy crawlies lurking in the background and the main characters became the secondary focal point.

I think with all types of books pacing can be a challenge but I find in comics it is harder to find that sweet spot than in novels especially when the comics are miniseries like this one. I'd rather have a comic run a little long in the tooth and have a well paced ending that feel cut short. Night of the Ghoul suffered for pacing as well which is what brought down my overall rating. Like I said, the build up was really nice, there were a lot of questions asked and a great overall very creepy vibe. I loved the long lost movie reels being used as an intriguing way to give information and a change of style to keep me interested in the story but the way we went from all that good to "oh, time to wrap it up quickly" in the last issue and a half was just jarring. I say this all the time with these one and done style miniseries but I think Night of the Ghoul would have been better served if we could have had 1-2 more issues to wrap it up.
