Urbex - Tome 1 - Villa Pandora

I received this advanced reader's copy from NetGalley, all my opinions are my own.
2.5 stars
Man, the premise and the art style are just great! The execution... yikes.
It's a short graphic novel about these two friends Alex and Julie who love to go exploring old and abonded buildings, urbexing. But then at night, they find this old giant mansion, that is freaky, there are these two twins, this giant dog, and they see visions like a ghost and oh, also apparently they get there are superpowers. But they're the only ones who can see the mansion, the ghost, or anything, and at daytime they can't see it either. I feel like it should have been a little longer, and telling us more on how that haunted mansion worked, what was the deal with the twins Spoileror that woman with split personalities and just it felt harsh at times. The part where Alex and Julie get teased by their friends was so overdone it was annoying. Also, the nosy mom and sister were too, also they never really have a talk or anything, yikes. Also, it felt pretty psychological at times, especially with that mansion being owned by this psychiatrist who did weird experiments. The red-headed guy they saw in visions the most... well it made me feel bad for him and his life, his trauma and all. It's just a heavy book, and I guess it can be good, but they don't really tackle it in a good and empathetic brave way. I wish some things were edited and also, what the hack was that ending? I guess in volume 2 we'll learn what is happening. but I'm not sure I'll be up for it... sorry.
