Product Description“Meet a young man named Odd . . . who helps the dead get even.'
From the infinite imagination of #1 New York Times bestselling author Dean Koontz comes the suspenseful graphic-novel debut of a natural-born hero with a supernatural twist.
Odd Thomas is a regular nineteen-year-old with an unusual gift: the ability to see the lingering spirits of the dead. To Odd, it’s not such a big deal. And most folks in sleepy Pico Mundo, California, are much more interested in the irresistible pancakes Odd whips up at the local diner. Still, communing with the dead can be useful. Because while some spirits only want a little company . . . others want justice.
When the sad specter of a very frightened boy finds its way to him, Odd vows to root out the evil suddenly infecting the sunny streets of Pico Mundo. But even with his exceptional ability–plus the local police and his pistol-packing girlfriend, Stormy, backing him–is Odd any match for a faceless stalker who’s always a step ahead . . . and determined to kill again?

Rating: - Surprise!
The book was fun, however I must have missed the part that stated it's in a comic book type layout. Still enjoyed it.
Rating: - graphic novel
This graphic novel is sequenced before Odd Brother. It was short story, but still great. I love that they made this a graphic novel.
Rating: - "Odd" that I didn't like this more
It wasn't a bad story but it was like an "Odd" commercial (too brief). Unlike an accompanying web-series that ties into the latest "Odd" book "Odd Hours", this would have been much more palatable had it too tied into one of Koontz' books.
