[QUOTE="Eyes of Nine, post: 8899452, member: 99786"] Just took a break from the RPG book and the non-fiction book i'm reading to consume a graphic novel. It's called the Ward Welcome to the Madhouse, and it was fun. The art is my style of art - very straightforward, clean line. It's about a hospital that tends to the supernatural. So it's part St. Elsewhere/Grey's Anatomy/House; and part what... I guess sort of True Blood? But it really doesn't focus on the supernatural parts - yes, the giant having a baby is huge; but otherwise it's an emergency C-section - the doctor just has to build a scaffold to get up to the mother's abdomen. There's a side plot that sort of bursts into the emergency room stuff about a group of "cryptid hunters" who unleash some sort of ritual that impacts non-supernatural people. It sort of felt tacked on or rushed - maybe due to the 22 page limit of the single issues. I'd say, if you like hospital dramas or supernatural urban fantasy, then this book may tickle your fancy. I like both of those - but I'd like this series to take a bit more time to develop some of these storylines. Hopefully they get it.
