This is the beginning to what feels like a fantastic mystery/horror graphic novel. Book one ends entirely too soon. I need books two and three now. The cover does not do a good job of explaining what‘s in these pages but at the same time it‘s a perfect cover. The art is a retro 70s throwback that feels like this could run with the Scooby gang via Sherlock Holmes. I want to know where this is going, I want more, and I want them now.

This graphic novel reminded me of early seasons of ‘Riverdale‘ — noir-esque but centered around two “outcast” kids, solving “mysteries” together. This volume sets up a larger mystery to come. The art is phenomenal and I love that the central character is a nuanced, darkly-written girl (Friday, ha). Graphic novels aren‘t usually my speed, but I like the elevated dark tone of this.

A "post-YA" story about teen detectives that start growing up and feeling with complex emotions and situations. Brubaker writes crime and mystery like no other, and I love the style of Martin's art.

I ate this story up...and then yelled in frustration at the end wanting to know the rest of the story. Great for readers who like a 70s mystery and the occult. I love the pace and flow of the narration and umpredictable actions of the characters #postYA #graphicnovel

Maybe his research would give her a clue...

Great retro notes here, memories of the teenage detective reading of my childhood.

Beautifully illustrated.

Loved the humour in this first installment: but warning, it ends on a cliff hanger!

Picked this graphic novel up today. It was great. Very 70s/80s vibes. Ready for book two two come out.
