This one shot is actually a collection of four shorts that were featured on the Myspace Dark Horse. It doesn’t serve at all as an introduction to Brody’s strange world of ghosts, and only has the slightest mentioning of the “Penny Murderer” which is much of the focus in the regular series. 

The Midnight Train: Brody’s Ghosts are trying to give him lessons, and although he’s learning them, even when he does good, he doesn’t do good enough.

The Scene of the Crime: Brody tries to enhance his vision skills by revisiting a crime scene, but he’s mistaken for the killer instead.

The Test: Long deprived of all of his senses, Brody can no longer take it, and he demands his freedom. One of his ghost shows him the worth of the exercises with his test and a valuable lesson is learned.

The Big Game: Brody tries to have a normal day, but one of his ghosts forces him to do otherwise.

Brody’s humor flutters just under the surface here, and really this one-shot is for those already familiar with the series. If you're unfamiliar with the series check out Brody's Ghost Book 1 from Thirteen-time Eisner nominee Mark Crilley, and you definitely won't regret it.
