- wonderful, beautiful book. There are parts that look like oil painting, others like collages, others like watercolors, all of it solid. Williams and Blackman play with the paneling and storytelling in some very inventive ways. In no way was this book skimpy on story, though--in fact it felt like there was more plot in it than most monthly books.
UNWRITTEN #30 - the conclusion to the On To Genesis arc. This one went a little too quick, as in it felt a little skimpy, but it wrapped up quite nicely. Readers will pick up on the obvious, nefarious connection between Tom and the Tinker, and the ending, once they get back to the apartment, is powerful. Still one of my favorite series.GREEN LANTERN #2 - I'm impressed with how unlikable Johns has written Hal Jordan. I've been a Hal fan forever, but so far, both in this series and in JUSTICE LEAGUE, he's quick a dick. He's brash, unthinking, and-let's face it-stupid. Sinestro gives him the what-for in a major way, and I found it oddly but very satisfying. Shaping up to be an exciting book.AMERICAN VAMPIRE: SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST #5 - First off, this mini has been wonderful. I cannot speak highly enough of Sean Murphy's art--if he proves to be this consistently good, I will buy every book he draws. Snyder also happens to be my #1 favorite comic writer at the moment, and he does not disappoint. I'm definitely looking forward to more minis as the series continues.
