vampires, robots, and wolf boys

My graphic novel obsession continues! Yesterday I curled up with a mug of tea and this awesomeness: AMERICAN VAMPIRE by Scott Snyder, Rafael Albuquerque and Stephen King. I haven't read Stephen King in a long time, so this was a treat – and the stories by Scott Snyder were equally a treat. And holy moses, the art is amazing. If  you are tired of toothless, moral, sparkly vampires, Skinner Sweet is the answer (but the girl vampire is my favorite).

The other night on my commute home I read THE CLOCKWORK GIRL by Kevin Hanna and Sean O'Reilly. It's Romeo and Juliet with a clockwork girl and a wolf boy. It's sweet and sad and funny, and the front cover doesn't truly do justice to some of the lovely images inside – a few of them took my breath away. And they're making it into a movie, wooo hooo!
