Wow. This volume of The Sandman is so full of awesomeness. It has got to me my favorite of the series so far.

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:

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.

Buffy: No Future for You by Joss Whedon and Brian K. Vaughan
Enter Faith. Picking up work here and there, cleaning up messes the slayerettes aren’t prepared to handle, Faith is currently hanging out in Cleveland (a nice reference, as we all know there is a Hellmouth there). Giles comes to her to ask a favor, and in return, he’ll give her a new name and passport, a ticket to anywhere in the world, and an early retirement.

Ghost World by Daniel Clowes
This is…an unhappy book with an unhappy ending, full of laugh out loud moments. Oh how fun it is to see ourselves in others’ ennui, however over-the-top it may be.

Fables vol 6: Homelands by Bill Williamson
This blog is in danger of going from Bibliofreak to Fablesfreak. I’ve been posting a lot about this series lately. In my defense, because I get them from the library, I have to post them before they’re due back.
