\nScott Pilgrim 1 & 2<\/strong> by Bryan Lee O’Malley \u2013 The first book is OK, the second is good with promise to get even better
\nHellblazer vol 1<\/strong> by Jamie Delano, Rick Veitch, John Ridgway and Alfredo Alcala – Apart from the weird Swamp Thing section this whole collection is really good.
\nGotham Central vol 1<\/strong> by Greg Rucka, Ed Brubaker and Michael Lark \u2013 Batman from the perspective of the ordinary cop. Highly praised for a reason
\nTransmetropolitan vol 1<\/strong> by Warren Ellis and Darick Robertson – The insane, profane and wonderful introduction to Spider Jerusalem.
\nThor: Siege<\/strong> by Jeff Parker, Kieron Gillen, Christos Gage and Miguel Sepulvida – Blah collection of Thor as Asgard comes under attack due to the machinations of Loki. Again.
\nGotham Central vol 3<\/strong> by Greg Rucka, Ed Brubaker, Stefano Gaudiano, Michael Lark, Jason Alexander, Kano<\/p>\nAudiobooks<\/h3>\n
\nThe Android’s Dream<\/strong> by John Scalzi and read by Wil Wheaton \u2013 This is a funny book and the audiobook is it’s equal in every respect. Reviews of this one from 2009<\/a> and 2008<\/a>.
\nRedshirts<\/strong> by John Scalzi and read by Wil Wheaton \u2013 The first time I\u2019ve listened to book before reading it (It was substantially<\/em> cheaper to buy the audiobook than import the hardback). This affectionate parody of Star Trek is also a deeply meta piece about being a writer. Very funny with unexpectedly moving ‘codas’.
\nConsider Phlebas<\/strong> by Iain M Banks and read by Peter Kenny \u2013 Wow this is a mental book. There is so much happening that you could fill a trilogy of space adventure movies from the content. Superbly read by Kenny.
\nThe Graveyard Book<\/strong> by Neil Gaiman and read by Neil Gaiman \u2013 An exceptional book. The author reads it himself and does a fine job.
\nJingo<\/strong> by Terry Pratchett and read by Nigel Planer \u2013 The weakest of the Guards books is done no favours by Nigel Planer (Glad this is the one I borrowed from the library rather than buying). Reviewed in 2005<\/a>.
\nThe Marriage Plot<\/strong> by Jeffrey Eugenides and read by David Pittu \u2013 I listened to a substantial part of this but I hated the characters so much I stopped listening.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
