They could've been wiped out in one issue. Cassidy is a cool character, but he's getting a bit stale. I guess this is kind of the middle of the series where Ennis was working out the endpoint.

I think I'm going to read The Sword by the Luna Brothers before getting back to Preacher.

Preacher does ramp up again and when you get to "Salvation"...hoo boy. You're in for some nasty, nasty, nasty stuff.

Working through the entire Mighty Avengers ... definitely not as good as Avengers: the Initiative.

Finished vol 2 of The Sword. The fight was pretty brutal.

Finally finished The great Fables Crossover trade.

For those who had stated that they had reservations about where the story was going, I must say, you probably won't like this book.

For the most part, I did, but I have weird tastes. I like "goofy" stuff in stories. Things that have been blasted here on the boards that came from Quantum and Woody, Bad Eggs or other stuff like what you'll find in the Scott Pilgrim books abound in the Fables book. It makes me chuckle every time, but I know many of you don't care for it.

I don't want to give too much away, but it's the pretty much the main plot dealing with "The Literals" that I'm referring to here.

This was not on par with what I've read in Fables in the past, which is part of why it took me so long to even get back to it once I'd put it down.

Bigby's "journey" though was must see for any fan of the character though.

Finished Billy Batson and the Magic of Shazam TPB and enjoyed it but have to admit it was somewhat slow and I'm not sure that it was as geared towards kids as they may have intended. I liked it as much as I did probably because I like the characters so much.

I wasn't a big fan of the crossover as it was a little jack orientated for my likings. The Fables storyline really is getting back on track though! I've enjoyed the last two arcs and its paving the way for something much bigger

Good to hear that last part...the crossover IMO was too much Jack and not enough Bigby...and the Literals were maybe too much of a gimmick...still a good read though even if not up to par with the rest of the fables TPB's

I plan to pick up the 3rd volume that was either just released or will be out soon. I can see myself re-reading these in the future for the laugh out loud factor.

Cabe & Deadpool was a real fun title!

The Sword - Luna Brothers = awesome.

It seemed like each trade just added a layer to the story. I was pretty surprised at the happenings all throughout the last trade. This book had a better ending, but I think overall, I liked Girls a bit better because there were more characters. Good stuff.

I read Girls #1 when they did that Image Firsts for a Dollar thing.

I needed to go pray. That was just sick. I am sure the story was good but there's some serious depravity going down.
