Angel: After the Fall Vol. 2 (First Night) by Joss Whedon and Brian Lynch
Usually, I’m all for prequels. But not when they come in the second installment of a series. So, the proper order to read the After the Fall books in might actually be the following:

Fables vol 8: Wolves
Ah Bigsby. You are big and you are a wolf. Ah Mowgli. You are not so big and not really a wolf. But you are very wolflike. And Bigsby? Mowgli is going to find you.

Buffy: Wolves at the Gate by Joss Whedon and Drew Goddard
I don’t remember Dracula having been this funny. Oh, sure, I remember Xander being this funny. But Dracula was a little less irreverent as I recall. I will have to re-watch that one.

Wow. This volume of The Sandman is so full of awesomeness. It has got to me my favorite of the series so far.
Jasper Fforde, you sly fucking bastard, sneaking your own book into the well of lost plots. I was wondering what you were up to with those striking nursery rhyme characters.
The first half of this book is slow-paced and unlike the first book. The second half involves the Games and is fast-paced and much like the first book. Both of these are good things.
OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG! I am amazed not just by this book, but the fact that finally–finally!–a book–a YA book–has lived up to its hype.
Here we have Fables & Reflections the 6th volume of the Sandman series. This is one of those volumes that doesn’t have an over-arcing storyline, so Imma break it down for you.
I really wanted to love this book, but it’s over-narration killed it for me. Never in recent memory has it taken me so long to get through a book so short (just over 200 pages).
Life seems perfect for Thursday Next. She’s just gotten married to the love of her life, saved the world from Acheron Hades, improved Jane Eyre, and basically ended the Crimean war, which has been going on for about 150 years.
