This series, which has examined Liz Sherman's first mission for the BPRD, ends very well in this issue. Earlier, I found that things felt a little forced at times, but with this last chapter, Mignola and Allie really find their groove, and give us a very good story.
Liz has accompanied Professor Bruttenholm on a mission to Massachusetts to aid an old friend who believes his house is haunted by a victim of the witch trial days. As it turns out, it's actually the woods that hold the spirit, and Liz and a young local boy are the ones that discover that.
There's a very cool scene where the ghost forces Liz to relive her own experiences, and the art keeps shifting from what is happening to Liz in the present to what happened to the accused witch in the past. It works very effectively.
I did enjoy getting reacquainted with Liz's character, and look forward to her return to current continuity with the next issue; it's been a long time since we've seen her in BPRD.
