Likely Stories [graphic novel] by Mark Buckingham, Neil Gaiman
3.0

A quick, colorful read! Likely Stories adapts some of Gaiman's short fiction into comics. While the art was wonderful and the stories successful (gotta love those signature Gaiman reversals), the utter focus on the male experience was a little off-putting. The various protagonists were punished for their objectification of women, but I found myself longing for a female protagonist that took control of her own story. Other that that, a solid collection of fantastical and horrifying stories with great art to boot.
