Fuffy ,'Storyteller'
Discussion of comics, graphic novels, and more. Except for capes. No capes!
Please use spoiler font for new releases until after the weekend following release.
Hereville has been on my TBR list since it came out; it definitely sounds like exactly the thing I would have devoured over and over and over as a 9-10-year-old girl myself (and, when I finally get my hands on it, I'm pretty sure 43-year-old me will devour it too).
Gaiman's Stardust or his two Death books, or any of Jill Thompson's Scary Godmother stories, or her Little Endless Storybook?
I'm reading good things about Anya's Ghost, which intrigued me in the Halloween display at my store last month. Description says 12 and up, though.
Last episode of Brave and the Bold! The series was way better than it deserved to be. I seriously don't understand why I liked it so much. I can't stand the camp of the 1960s Batman series, yet I loved BatB. I don't get it.

BatB is light hearted and more silly than campy. It's pretty affectionate towards 60s era comics, and didn't have the smirky, "I'm slumming" vibe of Batman-TV.
JZ saw an episode and said, "It's just like The Tick!"
Young Justice:
Got a good chuckle out of the 90's Superboy costume as well as Demonic Marvin the Martian. I'm also digging the teenage Zatanna.
While it was cool to see Secret and Harm the A-plot didn't work so well for me just because I knew what was up from the comics, so there was no mystery there. Plus, 20 minutes just isn't going to live up to a storyline that was played out of over years in the comics. My girlfriend enjoyed it, though.
The Sword of Beowulf with Grendel's arm as scabbard was kind of nifty.
Was semi disappointed we didn't see a Fite 'n Madd cameo.
That's kind of random, but could be fun if it's done right.
It depends almost entirely on who they cast and how they write for Skeets. If Skeets is annoying, then how good or bad the rest of the show is won't matter.
Comics from the June 1972 National Lampoon, including Steampunk fumetti collage!
IO9 goes into the history of Ms Marvel. Which made me realise I only know about her starting from when she showed up in Westchester calling out Rogue for draining her powers. I had no idea about the other shit.
