Gwendolyn "Gwen" Dylan is a 20-something gravedigger in an eco-friendly cemetery.

Gwen sets out to fulfill the dead person's last request, solve a crime or right a wrong.

The main cast is really fun and have solid voices, and the recurring set pieces give the series a welcoming feel, more like a favorite TV show than a typical monthly." -CBR/COMICS SHOULD BE GOOD Cover price $14.99.
