It's nearly impossible to disover this amazing series unless you have at least one friend into the goth movement lol I demand to be given special praise for every converted Gaiman soul in here seeing as I was the one to convert Ana…and yes it all started with a long black leather coat minus the interesting hair!

Brilliant, I'd even say. I really do need to read some Neil Gaiman one day. I'll probably stick with a novel, though. The guest dares are a very cute idea. Brilliant, I’d even say.

The first book, although great, is one of the weaker ones in the series, too, so you are in for a real treat! Nice review, Graeme! Ana and Thea, can't wait to see what you both think of Melusine! I'll have to start Dead Witch Walking soon. Ah, good, another Sandman convert. The first book, although great, is one of the weaker ones in the series, too, so you are in for a real treat!

Definitely give [i]Watchmen[/i] a read when you get the chance (before the movie comes out in March!). It's a fantastic piece of literature. hagelrat--The Sandman comics totally rule! I plan on shelling out the cash someday for the Absolute Sandman collections (4 ginormous hardcover omnibuses) to replace my trade paperbacks...too bad they're so freaking expensive! I'll have to wait a while for that, methinks. Keep up with the series, each volume only gets better and better! edifanob--Excellent choices, both ;) If you had to only read two graphic novels, those are the two to pick! The [i]Watchmen[/i] trailers look fantastic, don't they? I'm excited too. Lisa–Thanks ;) It’s the common goal of Ana and I, to turn everyone into a Gaiman convert!

I'm even more excited now! When I saw the Jacquelline Carey blurb on the cover, I was instantly sold :) Jessica--I love that nanosecond between books :P Although sometimes the indecision of what to read next is a killer. I'd definitely recommend giving Neil Gaiman a read if you're looking for something new! Or Kim Harrison (I adore her books) of course. The VTBR--I like it! Kmont--Dude, [i]The Watchmen[/i] is amazing. AMAZING. The big bad granddaddy of superhero comics. Gaiman's graphic novel version of [i]Neverwhere[/i] is awesome too--but The Sandman is Epic. Just read them all and call it a day ;) AnimeJune--Another [i]Melusine[/i] fan? Ok, SERIOUSLY excited now :) Graeme--Hi stranger! Thanks so much again for undergoing the Dare! Now you just need to catch up with all the Sandman issues :) Both Ana and I are stoked for The Watchmen movie...we're even brewing up a little Superhero Appreciation Week in preparation! ;) I hope the film is as good as its previews.
