"I will pretty much pick up anything written by Vaughan. He has proven to be my most favored comics writer. Couple that with the fact that I LOVED Kavalier and Clay, and it would seem I'm holding a winner.

She certainly has a gift for bringing the medieval to life. And I gotta admit, good historical entertainment might be the thing that most brings forth my inner nerd!...less

A wide-swath portrayal of yet another f'd-up intersection of religion and society. But one, I must admit, that has a particular fascination for me (Mormonism, that is, not polygamy). Polygamy as a concept is old and simple as dirt. Men wanting multiple "wives" - there's nothing complicated about that.
