Books of Magic: from the Reckonings TPB
Molly has been kidnapped by the retarded pink dinosaurs and is now trapped in Hell, forced to listen to the Governess because the Governess is torturing Crimple. Molly is told to read from a book. (8 scans, issue longer than 22 pages; writer John Ney Rieber and illustrator Peter Snejbjerg.)

But the queen's sister was mad she didn't receive an invitation, and decided to give Violetta a fourth gift — whenever Violetta stamped her foot and wished, it would come true.

Tim also had to read a story. His was shorter. I'll get to Gotham Central later.

	::shudder:: Not my cup of tea. This series never captured the magic or delight of the original mini. It always seemed to be about terrible loss, with only brief breaks where the darkness was staved off. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	While I love the original mini, I don't exactly find it delightful. The first four TPBs in particular are very much about adolescence and have wonderfully whimsical parts tempered with serious, bittersweet dramatic parts. Tim's life is hardly dark when compared to, say, that of another magician's, Constantine. (Reply to this) (Parent)
