By Neil Gaiman
Published by Dark Horse Comics
This book is an odd one. It focuses around two college frat guys who accidentally go to the wrong party. There, they meet a collection of "Exchange students" who all are something greater then human. The Main character Enn, and the discussions he has with three of them. There isn't much to say about this one story wise. It's pretty simple.
The Writing is fabulous. It's Neil Gaiman at his best, with a very down-to-earth yet beautiful way of constructing sentences. Each character is unique, and they are all have great designs despite the simplicity. The main character is written as a drunk idiot who doesn't realize what is truly going on, thus contrasting well with the people he talks with, who all talk very eloquently. He is pretty unlikable, but it works for the most part. The Art is great, with bright colors and a constant sense of movement. The story is kinda flimsy and more of an excuse to show us fantastic images, but I'll let it slide.
TL;DR: 8/10
(Sorry for not getting this up on Monday. I had it scheduled correctly but It didn't post.)
