Over the vacation a couple of weeks ago, I read volume two of ‘The Graveyard Book’ which was the graphic novel adaptation of Neil Gaiman’s book of the same name. it was a very good second act to the story. The protagonist, Nobody is a little older than he was in volume 1 and has a much stronger curiosity about what lies outside the graveyard.

I took a journey through my bookshelf again and re-discovered “Tick: The Naked City”. I haven’t read that in probably 20 years or so. It’s still a fun book to read. It’s amazing to see all the new IPs that came after that were inspirations of what Ben Edlund made. Granted, the bumbling and oblivious superhero wasn’t created by Ben, but he popularized it.

His book was sitting on the shelf for a while, so I decided to finally read it this past week. What a fun story. My first impression review of the book is that it is a good cross between Twin Peaks and Stardust.
