Brian K. Vaughan and his pregnant wife were in our Baby Care class last night. Leave it to DW to spot him! No, we didn't bug him, but I did check the class register to verify that it was him and yes, it was.

Eeeeeeeeeee.
Anybody reading Locke and Key, or King City or the other comics featured here?
They sound intriguing.
I've been intrigued by Air but haven't checked it out. I'm even more intrigued now.
I read the original Resurrection trade and thought it was pretty cool, but I wasn't really impressed with the first issue of the new series and didn't keep up with it.
Air is amazing: original fantasy concepts, intricate plot, a great lead character, richly detailed art, etc. It's got just about everything I like in a comic. I also recommend the OGN Cairo by the same team (G. Willow Wilson and M.K. Perker).
I read the first issue of King City and thought it was kind of fun.

Oh, I didn't realize that was the same team! A friend recommended that to me.
I did reviews on my manga review site Prospero's Manga for the original TokyoPop edition of King City and Pluto vol. 1.

Apparently sometime next spring they'll start reprinting volumes 1 & 2 of Casanovain 32 p. collections, with full color. With 2 new one-offs to fill things out. And then, I guess in 2011, volume 3 will begin.
Still all a long way off, but I needed some good news to get me through the rest of this week, so: yay.
My pusher has been telling me to read Casanova for ages.
