    Geek Dad - Ray Goldfield Jul 11, 2023

    This is a great concept, one that sets up the second part of this series nicely with a new villain and an escalating threat. Alyssa Wong's script is excellent as always, but Haining's art is what really brings this comic to life. It's amazing how the Spirit World can be this beautiful, and the demons this horrifying and surreal, all within the same pages. Read Full Review

    But Why Tho? - William J. Jackson Jul 11, 2023

    As far as I can tell, Wong has a hit with Spirit World #3. I'm hoping this title brings in a robust readership. Praying the love Americans have for manga will translate into a love of this new hero and their amazing adventures Read Full Review

    Batman-News - Aaron Ray Jr. Jul 11, 2023

    I hate to say it, but this series has a huge pacing issue. It only took three issues for Batgirl and Xanthe's storylines to wrap up. The story went from escaping the Spirit World and getting to the bottom of Xanthe's memory loss, to saving the Spirit World and getting to the bottom of Cassie's memory loss in two issues. For example, a series like Digimon Adventure sets a goal of getting to “File Island” over several episodes, and their goal complicates when they learn about Devimon, split up, and invest in the digital world. Regardless of any of their new goals, the story still hinges wanting to go home safely. Conversely, Spirit World moves the goal post entirely. Don't get me wrong, I like the art and fun cast of characters, but if you have to repilot so soon, there might not be anything here at all. Read Full Review

    This issue is better than the last, but I must ask the question, does Alyssa know where this story is going? She has all the makings of a great story but doesnt know how to put it together. I am being a bit nice on these past two issues due to the strong start, but if this doesnt come together next issue, my ratings are going to tank.

    So it is a 7, but a super cautious/generous 7.
