Zine Review: Seance

Comic, Jenn Woodall, jennwoodall.tumblr.com, $3

A young woman in a black cloak and pentagram necklace contacts three spirits in a cemetery while in search of a deceased friend. Each ghost she talks to is amusingly demanding in their own way — the first wants to talk her ear off about a mutual acquaintance who just arrived “down here,” the second berates her for breaking up with him while he was alive, and the third spirit is willing to help her, but only after asking why she never visits anymore. The artist’s style consists of intricate line drawings in black and white, save for the cover, which is in colour. There’s a happy ending as the young would-be witch is reunited with her friend. All in all it’s a cute comic. (Mary Green)
