Next time I'm in a bookstore, I'll try tracking some of these down and skimming over to see what grabs me most. Graphic novels seem much easier to me to grasp quickly as to whether I'll dig on them or not, compared to a book -- I suppose because they're easier to scan.</p> Wow, honestly all of these sound fantastic.

It seemed to have that thing that a lot of comics seem to have where it didn't really resolve in a way that satisfied me.
