Trev, Kent, and Brian are allegedly friends, but are best known as the backbiting hosts of the popular ghost hunting show, Ghost Bros. With ratings falling and competition rising, they gamble it all on the Chernobyl of haunted locations: Edgeway Penitentiary.

Armed only with a bag of cameras, some sick tattoos and absolutely zero scientific knowledge, the Ghostbros find conclusive proof of the afterlife at Edgeway... After they die and come back as ghosts themselves, trapped there with the angry ghosts who killed them!

A year later, as film crews arrive for an anniversary memorial special hosted by their most hated rivals, the Ghostbros have to be the best DEAD DUDES they can be, in order to prove to the world that ghosts exist (Oh yeah―and to save the living from a ghostly armageddon, but whatever).

A graphic novel poking fun at ghost hunting reality shows

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 13 October 2020

‘Dead Dudes’ is a YA graphic novel with a comedy horror plot. It was written by Christopher Sebela with artwork by Ben Sears.

Trev, Kent, and Brian are the snarky hosts of the popular ghost hunting show, Ghost Bros. As their ratings are falling, they decide to undertake a dangerous project - visiting the Chernobyl of haunted locations: Edgeway Penitentiary.

Things do not go well and they end up as ghosts, themselves trapped with the malevolent ghosts that had killed them. A year later, a film crew arrives for a live anniversary memorial special that will be hosted by their most hated rivals, the Parawarriors! The Ghost Bros see this as an opportunity to prove to the world that ghosts exist. What could possibly go wrong? (Spoiler alert: plenty!).

‘Dead Dudes’ is meant as a parody on this type of paranormal reality show and I felt that it conveyed this well. I found it fun, even if at times a bit silly. It constantly amused me that every time the Bros swore it was replaced by ‘bleeps’.

The artwork wasn’t really to my taste though it suited the storyline.

A light-hearted take on the horror genre

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 15 October 2020

Thank you so much to NetGalley and Oni Press for an e-ARC in exchange for an honest review.

This is an interesting Graphic Novel, about a team of TV Show Ghost Hunters who take the trip of a lifetime to the most haunted location in America.

This is a light-hearted take on the horror genre, at times a little TOO light-hearted for my tastes (I like a little scare in my horror) but still, it's a tone that works well.

The swear words are all bleeped out, which I found a little odd, though it does mean it can perhaps be aimed at a younger audience. The violence is a little graphic in a couple of places though, so bear that in mind.

I did enjoy the light and slightly goofy art style. I think it conveys the tone of the story well. The characters have enough about them to keep you interested, and the storyline is just quirky enough. This was a quick and easy read.

3 stars.
