Specter Inspectors continues to be one of my new favorite books on the shelf, and I’m greatly looking forward to where the characters end up, since I’m already invested. Another great use of color occurs during a flashback, where a spirit’s sepia-toned memories are broken up by splashes of red to denote something sinister. Even if the snarling smile didn’t tip us off, we can always tell when the demon is getting the upper hand in Astrid’s body when her eyes change to a golden hue. McCurdy’s color choices throughout are clever, particularly when it comes to little details.
That’s why the moments of silence speak volumes in this issue, with the seriousness of the situation occasionally breaking through the snarky dialogue and showing how uneasy everyone is. Instead, it feels like everyone is doing their absolute best to roll with the spooky punches. Even still, nobody is ever truly mean to each other.
The bickering humor of the first issue is brought back with a vengeance, as the demon’s influence throws a wrench in the team dynamic. Still, that is a minor gripe when the issue is taken as a whole. I’m looking forward to seeing this aspect fleshed out more, but it was a bit confusing to start the issue off with this, at least for me. To be fair, the first issue teased that she could hear some things the others couldn’t, but this issue seems to position this as more of a power. Noa seems to be drawn to the library for some reason, following the call of her intuition, but it’s unclear if she has an ability that hasn’t quite been explored yet, or if her connection to Astrid’s non-possessed form is fueling this.
The only thing in this issue that didn’t quite work for me is how the gang decided to check out the library.
