House of Whispers, Vol. 1: The Power Divided

This really should have been good: voodoo loa are trapped in the Dreaming while a supernatural contagion spreads in the waking world. And there are some good elements to it, not least a rather different perspective on things than we normally see. Unfortunately, it's just not written terribly well, with the stakes not as well-drawn as they should be, and some of the characters more confusing than anything else. (This may well be better if you already know a fair bit about voodoo and/or African mythology, which I admit that I don't). There's also a strange habit of using text boxes to describe what you're seeing in the accompanying picture - a common enough feature of older comics but not something we'd expect to see in modern ones. I wanted to like it, and it isn't truly bad, but it doesn't manage to grip, either and it just isn't as good as it ought to have been given the premise.
