Meeting New People
Hello and welcome back to another blog about Ghostopolis! Last time, we left off at a very intense part where Garth and Skinny were chased by zombie velociraptors. Luckily, there was a cliff coming by and the horse stopped right before he could fall. Soon after the velociraptors didn't see the cliff and they went falling to there misery! Meanwhile, Frank and his ghostly ex-girlfriend started to get the machine ready to save Garth and bring him back to the living. As that happened, the boy met someone very interesting! His grandfather, Cecil. It was really surprising for Garth because he his grandpa wasn't old, in fact, he was just about his age! Cecil explained how in Ghostopolis, people are put into there internal age. He said its a chance to take care of unfinished business. As Garth and his grandfather were talking, Frank got inside the machine with Clair. Finally, they zap into Ghostopolis! Meanwhile, Garth and his grandfather head towards the dead city to find a way to get back to the living. Suddenly, Cecil started to grow and now he was a teenager! It was probably because he admitted that he was a drunk and that he never talked to his daughter or 20 years. Finally, Clair and Frank arrived at Ghostopolis. This is the part where Frank is informed about Vaugner, the leader of the ghost realm. Oh yeah, and also Clair's ex-boyfriend. She told Frank how he has made the entire afterlife a dump. Meanwhile, Garth and Cecil arrive to the city of Ghostopolis and the boy gets to see many new people, better yet, ghosts. It appears that in the after life, there are many types of supernatural beings. In total, there are seven species that each belong to a lord, king or queen. There is the Will O The Wisp Queen, The Mummy Pharaoh, The Spector King, The Duke of Goblin, The Bone King, The Zombie Lord and the King of the Boogeymen. Later on, Garth's grandpa explained how all these provinces follow the orders of Vaugner. He purposefully manipulated all of them to get into a war. Then he came up and presented himself as the "Peacemaker" and later told the provinces that rage will still be in there hearts unless he becomes king of the afterlife. Since then, he now has ruined Ghostopolis and it has become very bad in its conditions. Meanwhile, the two looking for Garth go to Clair's uncle which is a Wolf. As they go inside his house, the uncle explains where Garth is and how to find him. Sadly, this is where we stop.QUOTE:
1.) "Love is in the acts, not in the feelings."
- This quote is on page 129 by Doug TeNNapel. I really like this quote because it's very wise and smart. This quote is at the part where Clair and Frank go to the Wolf (Claire's uncle) to see where Garth was. When the we're going out, the Wolf said this quote. This is a very important part because this is when Clair realizes how she feels about the human.
CONCLUSION:
Getting to read this comic is really fun! It's full of adventure and mysterious things. I really like how creative it is as well. In these pages, there was a lot of questions answered and I thought that was awesome. Another thing I like about this book is that it gets to the point very quickly! Well, until next time!
