    Just got distracted

    This series is almost always fun, and always has somewhat of a horror element to it, but as we see here the story can moderate a fair amount between different extremes.  The series started off being fairly focused on Samantha Darren, at least by proxy, but it has generally gravitated away from that model.  Here the model is a straight up homage to the haunted house genre, working in a bit of the modern reality television ghost hunting.  The end result is probably not as good as some of the other stories thus far in this series, but it is also still a pretty fun story.  Dating back to one of the earliest Grimm Fairy Tales stories, the main character of Gina is written to be easy to identify with here and she certainly is.  She is yet another in the long line of Grimm Fairy Tales heroines that gets a realistic treatment and serves as an inspiration that female characters can be done right in the medium.  That she is not given as much to work with here is not entirely the problem as the setting is a decent enough one, though it does feel like the character could be used elsewhere to greater capacity.  I did enjoy this issue though and it is a fun story arc.
