  <default-description>The astonishing story of the incomparable Rex Libris, Head Librarian at Middleton Public Library, and his unending struggle against the forces of ignorance and darkness. Rex travels to the farthest reaches of the galaxy in search of overdue books. Wearing his super thick bottle glasses, and armed with an arsenal of high technology weapons, he strikes fear into recalcitrant borrowers, and can take on virtually any foe from zombies to renegade literary characters.     In this first collection of Librarian adventures, Rex must confront the powerful Space Warlord Vaglox and retrieve the overdue Principia Mathematica while an energy manifestation of blood thirsty Vandals attempt to burn down Middleton Library, and all within, to the ground. Rex Libris is a huge hit with librarians and readers everywhere.</default-description>

    <body><![CDATA[A comic about a librarian, I should be enjoying this book more than I am, but I'm not, and yet, I still want to finish it.  I'm sort of waiting for a lazy Sunday on which to sit down and get through all of it.  Of course, once I'm done with it, I'll need to find the individual issues.  Oh wait, I li...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/61015527">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I have no idea how funny this comic book would be to non-library folks, but it was mighty amusing to me.  How could any librarian resist a comic book that begins with Ranganathan's Five Laws?  Not to mention all the literary characters popping up in the stacks as &quot;physical manifestations of par...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/23387146">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Mixed feelings here. I really enjoyed Rex as a character, and most of the stories were fun, but the art is computer drawn, and just not very good. As wordy as the comics are, this might have worked better as a novel. There wasn't really anything that would have been lost by losing the art, and more ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/50560910">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Supremely silly and fun.  It combines librarian wish fulfillment (I know I sometimes dream about fighting a demon who tries to take an item without checking it out or going on an interstellar trip to get a book back from a patron) and snarky commentary on comics.  Oddly enough, it kind of works.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Yay! a graphic novel for bookworms! it's hilarious and full of scholarly refs and jokes. its only fault (at least in perfect bound book form) is the print is way too small for the reading glasses-dependent crowd (which would be a big demographic for this book...)]]></body>
