‘Danny Phantom,’ created by Butch Hartman, was released by Nickelodeon in 2004 and ended in 2007.
The show is about a teenage boy, Danny Fenton, who after an accident with his parents’ ghost portal (the bridge between the human world and the Ghost Zone) becomes half-ghost and half-human.
With his ghost powers, he takes on the task of saving his town and sometimes the world with his best friends, Sam Manson and Tucker Foley, from ghost attacks while trying to keep his ghost-hero identity a secret and struggling through high school and his regular teenage life.
The show ran for three seasons — season three being the shortest of the others and the least liked for many fans.
Many fans, including myself, believe it was rushed, and the characters weren’t acting as consistently with their development as with other seasons.
Additionally, we got lots cliffhangers that were never talked about after the show ended.
The last episode of the show is one that many didn’t like because of the way it handled the show’s ending and didn’t make sense with most of the characters’ personalities and development.
Danny Phantom: A Glitch in Time by Gabriela Epstein is a graphic novel that came out near the end of July.
It picks up right where the show leaves off from Phantom Planet, and it fixes many of the issues with that last episode.
It also has good pacing, consistent character personalities, and a nice touch of the show’s charm and humor.
The direct summary of the graphic novel already shows that it solved one of the biggest cliffhangers in the show.
After saving the world from the apocalyptic Disasteroid, half-human and half-ghost Danny Phantom is finally recognized as a fearless superhero.
However, when Danny and his friends Tucker Foley and Sam Manson start experiencing time glitches that hurl them throughout history, Danny’s arch-nemesis, Vlad Masters, comes to them with dire news: Dark Danny, Danny’s older, evil future self, has escaped from Clockwork’s prison.
Danny Phantom must unite friends and foe to thwart Dark Danny’s sinister plot.
Can they make it back to Amity Park before Danny Phantom’s evil future self-destroys their world?
The graphic novel even hints at the end of a possible second part to the story.
Many longtime fans who were disappointed with the ending of Danny Phantom and who’ve been hoping for a revival of the show finally get it with this amazing and colorful graphic novel that I’ve already read five times.
