Death Junior
Sad panda. This was really cute. I spotted it in the bookstore and was completely sold when I saw the image of Death holding a mug with "World's Best Dad" written on it. It has exactly the type of humor that fans of Vasquez's work would go for, without being so completely stuck up its own ass (and if you can't admit his writing has one shtick, one shtick only, and he's been abusing it like LucasArts abuses the Star Wars license, then God help you and your literary sensibilities). Unfortunately I wasn't completely sold, as I already had three other books in my hand and was weighing that against how long I'd have to be hungry.
The Professor's Daughter
I spotted this online, actually, when I was checking to read what on earth people had to say about Umbrella Academy Apocalypse Suite (prior to Todd's review of the thing) and the premise was adorable. Once more I fall back on "I'd rather give you guys my money than Amazon."
Arsenic Lullaby
Now, this won't be everyone's cuppa. In fact, it won't be most people's cuppa. But I can't tell you how hard this comic makes me laugh. I heard the name might have changed to a reference to the beloved Baron VonDonut (probably my favorite character - "Stay in school, kid") but I'm not sure. Either way, if this one's available, it should be here. If for nothing else than letting me be the only sick fuck with the gall to give it 5/5 stars. I pray it's still in print.
Action Philosophers
I know these guys have to still be around. I pray, anyway.
Alice in Sunderland
Another series I've heard so much about and want to read. It'd be stellar to see it here.
Watchmen
I understand it's a fat novel now. I just want to have it here so I can stamp it with "zomg fay-vor-eet," further narrowing my tastes and allowing you to better pigeon-hole me towards new things to read.
Sandman Volume 3
I know, a specific volume. It's one I already own, too. It was my favorite of the series (Dream Country, for those who remember by title better; it starts with the story of Calliope, and even sitting here I'm struck by how incredible it was). I was sad I couldn't find it.
That's it for now. Keep up the awesome work, guys!
