The art in "Sherlock Holmes and the Vampires of London" was my favorite part. There were some interesting ideas presented, but overall I felt there was a serious lack of Watson, who is needed to bring a warmer side to the cold-blooded chemist.

I really wish I could have seen this issue on television. I don't know how I feel about Jayne's storyline, but the rest of it is the perfect mix of gritty, intense, and thrilling heroics. Eagerly awaiting issue #3!

While this issue doesn't allow much emotional investment, there are some things I'm excited aboutnamely the girls River finds.

Marsters' mastery of Spike allows for a deep yet subtle portrayal of a well-loved character.

Snarky inner monologues by Loki. Raw, edgy art by Jerry Gaylord. Tons of fun. Makes me wish (again) that Marvel realized what they had with Loki. And I want one of those Loki & The Tricksters t-shirts.

While I love anti-hero Loki from the Marvel movies, I feel Ragnarok and Roll manages to express the chaotic wildness and feral hunger of the Norse mythological Loki. He's an evil bastard but oh-so-very charmingright up until he kills you.

While I felt things were a little rushed, I loved Kaylee's daring heroics, the peek inside River's brain, Mal and Inara's developing relationship, and the shocking twist "To Be Continued..." ending. Excited for the next issue!

I think this storyline is superb, for fleshing out Loki and his family's relationship as well as questioning our religious beliefs and social behaviors. Marvelous.
