The best book no one is reading. Both Conor, DC fanboy, and Josh, vertigo fanboy, haven’t cracked this book open (I think?). Are people waiting for the trade? I doubt it.
BUY THIS BOOK!
I started buying it for Phantom Stranger, and… well, Phantom Stranger is in it so much that I decided to stick around. He is so freakin cool. I love the Stranger! He’s all mysterious and wise… but in a badass kinda way. Is that even possible? "Wise in a badass kind of way"? lol… ::sigh:: I’m retarded.
Definitely one of my favorite monthlies. Love Matt Wagner! I loved the mention of Etrigan last issue.
@Urthona: Waiting for the trade. It comes out in July.
Ah yes, the layaway plan! That explains it! 🙂
And @WoodenSpoonVersusShiv, I wonder if Wagner had gone with Phantom Stranger/Madame Xanadu as the title, if the book would have done better. There are a lot of PS fans like you out there. I worry this book doesn’t sell enough.
And now an ending stupid point: The "Madame" part drives me crazy, I wish they had her a widow at some point, maybe to the Khan. I do like how Xanadu has a sexual appetite for wizards. Overall, tho’, I think Wagner maybe hasn’t given MX enough of a core personality/drive. I’m still not really sure I understand what drives her/what she is trying to accomplish. In fact, her occasional daliance in bed with someone seems to be one of the few areas where Wagner gives her a little color. Wish there was more.
