alias_sqbrThese are all series I was already familiar with, which speeds up the reading process.
"Girl Genius, Volume 9 Agatha Heterodyne and the Heirs of the Storm": Made. Of. Awesome. Steampunk about mad geniuses in pseudo-Europe. It's slowed down a bit recently but this particular storyline is still great.
"Schlock Mercenary: The Longshoreman of the Apocalypse": I mostly like Schlock Mercenary, it's fun clever space opera despite it's flaws (though they do grate a bit), and this plot was ok.
"FABLES: THE DARK AGES": Reading Fables (about fairy tale characters living in the modern day) always gives me a bad taste in my mouth and I'm not sure why. The premise and characters are interesting, and it's well written and very nicely illustrated but...I just don't like it. I read the first pdf to make sure I disliked this as much as the previous volumes I've read and I did.
