blue_ant70. The Museum Vaults: Excerpts from the Journal of an Expert by Marc-Antoine Mathieu
This is one of the graphic novels written for/about the Louvre. This is, in many ways, a sequel to Glacial Period. It's the story of an expert who goes into what we later discover is the remains of the Louvre. It's a fantastic story, not quite the graphical masterpiece that is Glacial Period, but the literary quality of it is fantastic, as are some renditions of the art that just blow my mind. I cannot wait for the other two (I believe) volumes of this series.
71. Batman: Cataclysm (Prelude to No Man's Land) by Chuck Dixon
This is actually something I read back in May. It's the story of Gotham City after a huge earthquake (hence the title being cataclysm). It's dark, scary and of course well written. The significant thing to me is that I finished it the day before the earthquake in China. Like, literally the day before. Freaked me out though. I recommend this for people who like Batman and people of his world/stories.
72. The Good Fairies of New York by Martin Millar
While an excellent story, this book was one of the oddest books I have ever read. Not bad, mind you, but just odd. Millar holds nothing back, not in his descriptions of the main characters or really, well, anything else. He is a truly fantastic writer, but at the same time a little brash, though I think the book wouldn't be as good if he censored himself. It was a fun read, but not something that I would go out and buy, no matter what Niel Gaiman had to say about it.
