Daytripper An obituary writer in his later years looks back on his life and is killed by a stranger in a bar. In his twenties, he falls off his boat and drowns. His father dies, and he has a heart attack. An examination of a single man's life through his possible deaths. With an unconventional story structure and no easy explanations as to what's going on, it's an exercise in putting the pieces together to understand the whole. Sweet Tooth The world has been decimated by a mysterious plague that has also turned a generation of children into animal-human hybrids. One of these hybrids is found by a survivor, who takes the chocolate loving "Sweet Tooth" under his wing. But is his new companion a friend, or a foe? Greek Street seems like it could be good. I just can't get into a book where the main character has sex with his mother and then kills her in the first issue. Couldn't you choose a more sympathetic protagonist? It doesn't help that a lot of the book is really predictable if you know anything about the original Greek stories. I did read the first 5 issues, but gave up after that. I definitely enjoyed the first installment of American Vampire. King's story was pretty good, by Snyder's was better. There is a lot of vampire fiction out there, but it looks like Snyder has a couple new cool ideas to keep things fresh.
