3. Books of Magic vol 2 #2 to 4 (Vertigo, DC)

And finally, we moved on from Image, eh, readers? Hehehe!

This series is just amazing. Before I begin, the review to issue 1 can be found in my personal blog. So here's the conclusion to the first arc. Basically at the start, Tim Hunter is beginning to be suspicious of who his true parents are seeing as how his mom and dad are human (and living in loserville UK). Since Tim is being told repeatedly that he has potential to be the most powerful magician ever (cue Harry Potter - both Brits, both glasses, both have parents and friends issue, both geeky, both living in the normal world while discovering another world .... hmmm a wee bit too many similarities?!?!?!), he gets sucked into the world of Faerie

Naturally, being innocent and naïve, Tim learns the hardway that not all beautiful things and creatures are noble and everywhere he turns, danger seems to lurk. Everyone has their own hidden agenda. So who is telling him the truth? The king and queen, the nasty little evil monster or the man/ bird?

You can get this in TPB ... and we can encourage you to do so. This is such a good read! And the gentle seeming artwork by Peter Gross is brilliant! John Ney Rieber, Peter Gross and Gary Amaro - perfect team for this series! Love it, love you three!
