Review: Teenage Haunts

Title: Teenage Haunts
Author: Dan Watters
Artist(s): Caspar Wijngaard
Series/Standalone: Home Sick Pilots (Vol. 1)
Genre: Graphic Novel, Horror, Young Adult
Pages: 152

"In the summer of 1994, a haunted house walks across California. Inside is Ami, lead-singer of a high school punk band- who's been missing for weeks. How did she get there? What do these ghosts want? And does this mean the band have to break up?

Expect three chord songs and big bloody action as Power Rangers meets The Shining (yes really), and as writer Dan Watters (Lucifer/Coffin Bound) and artist Caspr Wijngaard (Star Wars/Peter Cannon: Thunderbolt) delve into the horrors of misspent youth."

My Rating: 2.5/5

I think this was a decent start for a new series, but to me, it felt a little on the long side. I liked the idea of the plot kids in a punk band in the 90s seems perfect mixed with the horror/ghosty aspect. I liked that. I'm curious to see where it goes, but just an ok first volume for me overall.

Thanks for reading,

Sidny
