Ratings and reviews

It's a fun read but the ending leaves a lot to be desired, I would love to see this team-up again. I love the chemistry between Ghost and X.

The story itself isn't too bad, but the ending is definitily weak. A crazy comic crossover like this deserves better treatment.

Considering it was a free read for me, I was actually engaged in reading the story front back within the past 24 hours. I haven't heard of the characters before, and yet just enough background knowledge to get acquainted. While all this commenced the plot thickens continuously until conclusion. Well done author, and illustrator. Much appreciated.
