Ouija Interviews #4: Mack, Agatha & Samantha Now Available! $4

I don’t know if Sarah takes these “conversations” down verbatim as she has them, uses snippets and turns them into a coherent story or just makes the whole thing up, but it hardly matters when the story is this good. The group finds Mack, who is sad, lost and looking for his mother. While they’re talking to him his sister Agatha comes into the conversation, and Mack says that he would be a lot happier if they could just find his mother. Mack asks them to find his sister Samantha, who might know more about the situation, and things get really odd from there. Yes, even more odd. This is a bit bigger than the other issues and it’s nothing short of a thoroughly entertaining read. If this was all taken verbatim from a ouija session that must have been one creepy session…

Ouija Interview #3: Naomi Now Available! $3.50

Full disclosure here: I believe in Ouija boards working about as much as I believe in the average alien abduction. That is to say, not even a little unless I see proof of some kind. That being said, it didn’t matter one bit because this was a great story. A group of people “called” on the board (sorry, no idea what the term is) and were answered by a dead young girl named Naomi. She died horribly and misses the boy she had a crush on at the time, who either died with her or is still alive, as she hasn’t seen him. I have no idea of Sarah’s artistic ability from this because it’s just images of this dead girl in various poses, but she does a great job with the girl and the backgrounds, for whatever that’s worth I don’t think I’m adequately conveying what a blast this comic was, but it made me laugh a few times, and that’s always a good thing. I have no idea on price, but let’s say $3 at a guess, and the outside is creepily gorgeous.

Ouija Interviews #2: Chip Now Available! $3.50

It’s tough to pick a favorite out of these four issues (and that’s after Sarah had to win me over to begin with as I’m not a big fan of the ouija), but this one might take the cake. Am I allowed to have “co-favorites”? No, didn’t think so. This is the story of Chip, a sassy dead man who enjoys very much having sex and his current reincarnated life as a strawberry. Yes, both at the same time. He is also very interested in the interviewers asking deeper questions, then seems to take delight in making jokes of the answers. Chip does, however, give us the meaning of life, and it’s about as good an answer as I’ve seen anywhere else. This whole series (assuming that it’s over) is a blast and should win awards in the comics world. Hell, maybe it even has, as I don’t keep up on that sort of thing. Either way, check them out. These are some of those mythical books that you can show to people who don’t read comics and win them over, and we all know how hard those are to come by…

Ouija Interviews #1: Theo Wallis Now Available! $3.50

(To anybody reading these reviews in order, I read #3 first out of these). Sometimes when you go back to the early issues of a series you can see the rough patches that led to greater things. It’s a bit unfair to call this one a “rough patch” as it’s still entertaining and has a few great lines in it, but it’s obvious that this concept for a story grew from here to become the greatness that is #3 (even though, at this moment, I haven’t read #2 or 4 yet). There’s nothing overtly awful about this issue, it’s just that the questions stay pretty simple and there’s not a whole lot to latch onto. Guy is killed by jealous wife but regrets nothing, it doesn’t dig much deeper than that. Ok overall, and worth a look if you’ve read the other ones and want a whole set, but go for the later ones first.
