I've been catching up on the series and it's very good both story and art.
It's a keeper...
Anyone else?

Yes, I've been enjoying it too. It reminds me of the World's End story arc in Sandman where a bunch of disparate types area caught in a tavern during a reality storm, and pass the time by telling stories.

So far most of the stories have been pretty good, and the framing story has been interesting as well. So far, The Hollows and Jordan's Tale have been my favorites, possibly because they're both wry tales told by characters who have no idea in which ways they're extraordinary.

I have enjoyed the series so far. Was happy to see Wrightson's art in the "Gothic Romance" story in issue 9.

I had a story?

I've been debating adding it to my pull list but I'm at my max titles until a few minis end. (self imposed).

Is there a trade or two available yet?

"I had a story?"

Yep. If I send you a copy, will you autograph it for me?

I follow the Upper Deck school of autographs, so i'll just sign a piece of clear cling plastic and let you stick it wherever you want on the book.

Yes, trade volume 1 has been out and 2 may've been solicited.

I'm reading it and enjoying it.
I think #13 will be a special issue.

I got the first 7 issues in an ebay lot and it was enjoyable. It almost got me to buy it monthly but fell below the monthly threshold for me. If I was making a real income, not a hobo graduate student income I probably would have given in a shot monthly.

There's always the kenmacny method, which is waiting a few years until they're in the 25¢ box at your LCS.

I just began re-reading them from the beginning — the framing story, not the "tales" — and I'm surprised how much I'd forgotten. There's a lot of interesting backstory on Fig that coalesces when read in one swell foop.
