You know, I'm just now reading the Sandman Mystery Theater series and I'm kind of loving it. But I'm glad to hear an endorsement of this one. I wasn't sure what to think of it. Now I'll pick it up.
I can't seem to be able to stay on top of my purchasing habits though and have missed the last few issues. Why don't they just publish graphic novels now? Almost all of my favorites cut out at the 'gettin' good' point in issue form anyway. I will say that the cover art alone (the name of the artist escapes me though I'm familiar with her work) was work buying the issues of this title ... for as long as I could remember to anyway.
This comic is wonderful, interesting, well written and drawn while making good work of allowing its story to properly ebb and flow amongst slightly exaggerated but still interesting characters.
Don't go the way of Crossing Midnight or any other book I've enjoyed in the last two years,The Unwritten.
Glad to see Unwritten get a second chance, even if it didn’t quite win everyone over. Comparing it to Air was interesting because I tried the first trade based on the FBB love and was thoroughly underwhelmed. Does the second trade get better or were you guys hooked on Air with volume 1? Maybe I’ll have to give it a re-read. Also, on the topic of Vertigo essays, is anyone reading Madame Xanadu? I’ve picked up the first two trades and have been pleasantly surprised.
