This started out well but really began sputtering out midway through and never found its way back.
The concept is good. The setting is good. A lot of the details are interesting, twists on folklore, children's games, old rhymes, Robert Browning, and the possibly somewhat historic Children's Crusade. On top of that, the two detectives are ghost boys! So it was really hitting all my favorite things, not to mention probable inspiration from J.M. Barrie's Neverland.
After a while, issues stopped connecting well. I had to infer a lot for seemingly no good reason to make an inkling of sense of the plot. Some characters that were made to seem important were just suddenly dropped. You can almost hear the authors scrambling to patch this up.
The saving grace is that the Dead Boy Detectives are consistently amusing.… (más)

This could have been 4 stars if the artwork was better. I want to know what happened to those boys, but the bad artwork won't let me.
Was looking for a new graphic novel while at the library and picked this one at random. I didn't realize at the time that it contained side characters from Gaiman's Sandman graphic novels.
I really enjoyed this first compilation. If you're looking for Gaiman in the pages, he didn't write it and the style isn't much the same.
That being said, it's still an enjoyable read. I would definitely recommend it!
