Who's read this comic/graphic novel series? It's brilliant. I love the depiction of Death here.

I read most of these a long time ago. Now I read his novels instead.

American Gods is really great! Anansi Boys and Never Where are good, but not in the same level of AG.

One thing that annoys me in Gaiman work is his "pop post-modernism pro-minorities" that gets over the top sometimes. Like the half indian, half jewish lesbian girl of AG.

Just getting into these - as stated above they are fantastic. I'm currently on volume 6.
