Week on a budget again...
So working on the buget principal, I seemed to go all mainstream this week:
Fallen Angel - yeah, I adore this. It's fun fun and full of drugs and sex and a fantastic setting. It's complex and hard and I just get a kick out of it. It is not a challengin read, as it is very very well written and drawn.
Fables - what more can I say about Fables. It makes more sense if you have read The Last Castle. It's wonderful. I love the artwork. Must buy Fables artwork.
1602 - A state of ennui. I care not.
Dark Days - I think this will read better once it's completed. Not enough happens in a single issue to really make it worth the price tag. It's still rather good, I like the art and I like what they are doing with Stella's character. But... I remeber this plot from Ultraviolet.
And I also ought Gotham Central with the aim of catching up on the previous few issues. It hasn't happened yet as I keep getting sidetracked by rereads. So a rec for that:
Witchcraft - a Sandman spinoff with a bit more juice than normal. Take three of the more lucious artists in Vertigo's stable (Yeowell, Snejeberg and Zulli) and set them loose on a cracker of a story. Works perfectly as a graphic and is rather scary. Images from it are staying with me, which is always a good thing.
