Three graphic novels I recently wrapped up:
The Autumnlands Vol. 1 "Tooth and Claw"
(Image) w Kurt Busiek / a Benjamin Dewey
Well-worn tropes neatly remixed for an exciting story and engaging world-building. Howardesque fantasy, a boy's hero's journey, and anthropomorphs who aren't just a set of cat ears. Good stuff.

The Wake
(Vertigo) w Scott Snyder / a Sean Murphy
A decent horror tale completely bollixed by a second half overwhelmed by infodumps and muddy storytelling.

Fables Vol. 22 "Farewell"
(Vertigo) w Bill Willingham / a Buckingham & Leialoha (et al.)
Wrapping up the massive saga in ways mostly satisfying, usually imaginative, and more often than not achieving decent closure. I found it a fitting conclusion to a truly remarkable undertaking.
