    I really like this book. I find this concept fascinating and it is a solid book every week. Also, I think it has some of the strongest covers going these days.

    Great stories, great covers, and great fun.  All around a good time.

    I was about to drop this book after the third issue, but then the 4th issue came out and was the best so far.

    I <3 this book.  Nice to see a Vertigo title doing it’s best to work well in a single-issue format.

    I haven’t even read the third issue yet, even though I bought it. But I guess it’ll be fun to read the three issues back to back, kinda like a mini-trade.

    @cylonpete – #3 is the issue where I realised this was a great series. #4 was just as good. i’ve got no reason to believe #5 will be any different so reading them all back to back should be great.

    I just noticed Sean Murphy’s name.  His art on the two Aaron-penned Hellblazer issues was great, I bet he’ll do a fantastic job here as well.

    I’m really tempted to jump into this book – if my LCS has the back-issues, I’m in. Otherwise, I’ll wait for the first trade.

    @coltrane – I think you can just jump right in and catch on quick. People stuck in a Mystery House somewhere in the middle of ?????. And they tell stories to each other. I think you’ll really enjoy it.

    I wouldn’t jump in here without reading the other 4. You’d miss out on the main story about Fig if you did that.

    Good issue.  Brings more questions than it answers.  I still think the story in the first issue (about the girl and the bugs) has not been topped yet.

    I liked this issue but maybe I’m not getting something.  What was the end all about?  Him standing there… her saying "not you".   What was that all about?  I just didn’t get that.  I’ll read it again when I’m done with my stack but as of right now… I’m lost.  Still loved it though.

    Well it was my pick of the week.  Something tells me I should also be reading Fables and Jack of Fables right now.  I want to read these from the start in trades, but there are sooo many.  Some many good comics, so little spare time to read ’em!  Darn.

    I enjoyed the little text piece that Sturges threw in as well. Almost like two mini-stories in the same issue. And seriously, how can anyone deny vampire cats?
