Dilbert 2.0: 20 Years of Dilbert

Scott Adams

Andrews McMeel Publishing, 2008

Everything I had expected, and more!
As a huge Dilbert fan, I got Dilbert 2.0 for Christmas after persistent hinting. The book quality is great. As noted by others, it is quite large and heavy, but I have no problem reading it in bed. Scott's comments are at times informative and at others hillarious. ...

Drew Goddard, Joss Whedon, ...

Dark Horse Comics, 2008

The Eighth Season Finale
In one word, excellent. This is the last in a three volume series of what would have been the eighth season of the Buffy The Vampire Slayer series. The drawings are fine (some excellent in fact), but its the story that I'm most interested in. The writing and the humor ...

The Complete Peanuts 1967-1970 Box Set

Charles M. Schulz

Fantagraphics Books, 2008

The 60's come to a close in style with the Peanuts gang
'741.5 SCH' That may be gibberish to some, but to me, it was the dewey-decimal system location of the Peanuts strips in my Elementary school library. I really gained my love of Peanuts from those library-bound books, but always remembered coming back to 'The Peanuts ...
