Comments: The Ghul Agency provides a service to other creatures. Shay Melendez works there and we are introduced to her and a few others that work there. Shay is the main one though and we get to follow along as she starts her day. Things are mentioned yet not fully explained. Shay is an Ad Exec. Yet she is more than just that.
At The Ghul Agency so many different creatures work there. They are not presented as scary rather more comical in the way they are drawn. Most are presented acting like your average joe working a job.
Shay is a wonderful character whom you will immediately like. She looks beautiful. The art is done in a cartoonish style that works for this story. She is one of a few who work at this Agency who appear to be human.
The story needs to focus more and not be so much all over. A plot might be starting to form it is just not in this issue yet. Shay is definitely the shining light here she is a delight every time she is shown.

Comments: All the staff including Shay are gathering for a meeting with He Who Shall Not Be Named.
The Agency is an advertising business for creatures. Here we get a closer look at the people who work at this Agency and what they do. They do seem extremely busy. Yet the story does not settle down and focus on a main theme.
The art is cute. The characters do have a cartoonie appearance and would look great on an animated show.
Greer the Golem is written with a loyality to Shay. He comes across as a good guy just wanting to help others.
The storyline needs to be made a lot clearer as to what is going on and why things are happening.
The characters are all wonderful creations. They just need to be used better. Seeing all these various monsters working together and acting as humans and working in a business is a great idea. The characters are fun to watch as they interact.

Comments: The security team of Ike and Ninja Dan are looking for something or someone. Than we jump to a board meeting. Shay and Sandy both get suspended. The security is looking for Greer now this should really have been mentioned when the security team was first shown.
There is some action as Greer returns to the offices and Ninja Dan tries to break his fall. A ninja breaking a golem's fall.
Crash-Pritcher Universal is a rival advertising company and they and they are going to go all out against each other. Shay is back and she is ready to rumble.
The art is fun to see and helps set the mood of this comic which always has a lighter side to it even when more serious matters happen.
Greer is a great Golem and in general a nice guy. Having him as Shay's assistant makes for a good pairing. Shay is a beautiful woman who can fight back.

Comments: This issue starts out with several pages with dialogue that do not seem to tie into the comic storyline at all. It is song lyrics but still why have them here.
The staff at Ghul Agency are working together to get back an account they lost. Things have been going on around this agency. The story does start to focus a little here.
The art could use more detail in the backgrounds.
The staff are also looking for a spy in their midst. Shay is drawn nice yet not shown enough. All the characters are drawn with wonderful facial expressions.
Shay and Sandy the two best advertising people at the Ghul Agency working together come up with a breakthrough idea and way to help their agency.
Shay does grow over the series and believes in herself more. Shay is one individual you will like.
