Hectic couple of months, here's what I've been reading:

Just as good the second time around

Such a pretty pretty book, with little to no story for the pricetag attached.

Worth the $ for the art, IMO. Love Mesmo.

Such a fun wild ride with amazing art to go with it. Definitely a favourite.

And with this volume ends my favourite of Warren Ellis' work from the last couple of years.

The Marvel Oz books are always alot of fun to read. Dense, fun read with breathtaking artwork. Its good to see Scarecrow, Tinman and the Lion again, this was probably my favourite of the three so far.

Never read 100 bullets before so I picked this up based on the creative team, I'll be totally honest it took me a while to get into it. But when I did I was totally in for the drive, I'm glad I didn't read this monthly there is so many little things that come back into play later on and I'm sure that'll only happen more in the next volumes. Risso's art is a little inconsistent but when it's good its out of this world. I'm definitely in for the long haul with this book.

Fantastic Four: 1234

Good story, surprisingly straightforward for Morrison. I like Jae Lee, but he's not a good fit for the FF.

Madame Xanadu Volume 4: Extra Sensory

The only inconsistent volume of the series, still a stupid cancellation.

Definitely the weakest of the 6 volumes, but a satisfying conclusion that ends an amazing series.

I was just about to read the 4th volume of Xanadu, I've been holding off on it, such a good book. Stupid, stupid cancellation. Demon Knights makes up for it in no way.

I did only pay $5 or thereabouts through MOC and it is quite the goodness in the art department, I can't complain too much.

the first volume was way to much like Books of Magic that I couldn't get BOM out of my head. It doesn't help that Bolton drew a larger portion of BOM. The story was alright, and I can see it getting better, but if vol 2 doesn't kick BOM out of my head I really don't see a point in buying a book that, through no fault if its own, I won't be able to like
