New books! Well, mostly comics.
We had a bit of a comic-buying orgy here.
Lex Luthor, Man of Steel #5: The writer has failed to connect this all up, your honour. The plot, it makes no sense, and I am forced (hah!) to conclude that Lex's visit to Gotham had no purpose beyond proposing to Bruce Wayne. Oh, well.
Lucifer vol.II: Omfg squee. I love this comic so very much. It's gorgeous, and the plot is perfect, and the characters are realer-than-real, and...Squee.
Thessaly: Witch for Hire: I love Thessaly, but I don't really think this is as true to the Sandman character as it could be. She's too...fluffy. Emotional. I like her better when she's more perfectly controlled. Still, could'a been worse.
Dead Boy Detectives vol.1: Dead British schoolboys in drag, what's not to like? Edwin = <3<3<3.
The one actual book, Dragon Precinct: Not too bad, not too good. The writing style is mediocre, really, and character development could be better, but I really like the treatment of half-elves, the real and present prejudice, and the way half-elves can, actually, end up with features of both parent that really do not go together. I'm willing to start with a different kind of mediocre.
We watched more Dr. Who. I'm sorry, I don't think this could get any more OT3 on its rating. The mind truly boggles.
