    If you've read my other two reviews of this title, you'll probably know what to expect. I am an unashamed Francavilla fan. I think he's one of the modern masters of the comic art form and his talents are particularly suited to this tale which combines hardboiled mystery and gothic horror in such an interesting way. His pacing is mostly spot on, and his artwork is simply phenomenal. This is incredibly decompressed storytelling and it will not take you very long to read at all. It is, however, a thrilling, involving and thoroughly entertaining experience. Highly recommended. Read Full Review

    The Fandom Post - Chris Beveridge May 17, 2017

    The Spirit: The Corpse-Makers continues to be an appealing book to look at as Francavilla knows how to tell a story in a beautiful way and make it thoroughly engaging. At the same time, it's a book that feels like it would have been far better as a collection right from the start because it comes across as really needing that binge read. While the Spirit is finally starting to get a handle on what's going on here, the reader doesn't get too much new but gets a pretty fun ride with which to go through it. I'm excited for what's left but more excited for a full read. Read Full Review

    The latest issue spends more time with Marlowe, whose recent near-death experience hasn't shaken the young woman's resolve to get the bottom of the strange events. Although their paths have yet to cross, you would have to expect a meeting between the two investigators fairly soon. And given the number of questions both have, it may well take both the Spirit and Lisa Marlowe, P.I. to solve the case. Read Full Review
