But Lucas and Harmony aren't the only ones with this ability; there are other nearly-deads, some of which have malicious motivations...

Ghostlore #1 is an interesting start that has some potential. While it doesn't completely excite, there's a concept that could play out in interesting way telling stories of various styles and delivering a bit of an emotional punch with each.

Overall, the jury is still out on the series as a whole but there could be something intriguing there. Read Full Review
