  I don't mind admitting when I'm wrong, and "Madame Xanadu" #11 has proven that I need to give the title another chance.

Of course, the fact that Kaluta still has four more issues? Well, that makes the decision that much easier. Read Full Review

  That isnt a bad thing. On the contrary, Matt Wagner is a very talented and much admired writer and his stint on Madame Xanadu has been spectacular thus far, but do we really need to see him repeat himself by revisiting territory that he has already covered, quite well, in the past?

Madame Xanadu was its own fresh, lively and unique series through its first 10 issues.
