Gory Gazette — Monster High

Honor student Ghoulia Yelps knew at a young age that she was created to be DeadFast’s number one fan.

“I picked up a copy of DeadFast #7 and I was hooked,” Ghoulia explained as she sipped on her Coffin Bean coffinccino during our exclusive sit down interview. Her demeanor was unusually perky for the slow to thrill zombie, so I knew she was more than excited to talk about her biggest hero. “My mom has been purchasing the comic for me ever since I was young. I really do believe it was her nurturing that allowed me to explore my love not only of DeadFast, but of comic books in general.”

Last year, Yelps was lucky enough to capture a coveted ticket to the dead-lightful San Diego Comic-Con, where she was able to explore her geek-chic roots among monsters and friends.

“Comic-Con was like no other,” she gushed. Her coffee was pushed aside, her hands now occupied with doodling a picture of DeadFast on her napkin. “I’m uhhhn-believably excited to go again this year. Scarah and HooDude will be with me, front row at the Monster High panel, so I’ve been spending the past few weeks giving them tips about what to do, where to go and who to see while we’re there.”

Though not all of her friends will be able to make it down to SDCC, she assures that all will have an opportunity to stay tuned in to the latest Comic-Con news and gossip. “The Monster High administration is great about keeping student bodies informed of all the happenings at SDCC,” she said as she handed me her uhhh-mazing napkin doodle. “Would you like to keep this? I hope you like DeadFast as much as I do.”

Who am I to pass up a Ghoulia Yelps original?
