After reading Hickman's run on FF I've decided to leave his series' alone until they are complete. He plays so long, so big, so expansive, that I'd rather wait a few years and read the entire shebang in one go, where I can watch all the pieces drop in one go rather than sit there for a year(s) wondering how it's all supposed to make sense, getting frustrated with scheduling delays etc.
Speaking of which, my favourite book dropped its final issue this week. I've not read a single issue of Unwritten: Apocolypse yet, or the Tommy Taylor graphic novel that came out last year, and now that it is all done I'm going back to issue #1 to read all 70 (and the GN) in one foul swoop and soak up MIke Carey and Peter Gross' masterpiece of the power and nature of storytelling itself.
Anyone with a long weekend at hand should really try The Unwritten, or if it's not your style, then at least Google the 70+ covers that Yuko Shimizu created for the series. Pretty much every one could be hung in a gallery or lounge and stand proud as truly remarkable art.
