I actually really liked this one. A lot of people correctly point out it's very similar to [b:The Sandman, Vol. 8: Worlds' End|25103|The Sandman, Vol. 8 Worlds' End|Neil Gaiman|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1339922260s/25103.jpg|1009277]. Stepping outside of that, the overall narrative tying all the stories together is a mysterious plot about a girl who can talk to houses. I liked the individual stories quite a bit because they really harnessed the power of the graphic novel medium - the text itself was very benign, but the graphics gave a completely and unexpected twist to the words. Very well done, although right now the parts might be greater than the whole. We'll see, I have the remaining 6 volumes from the library and hopefully it will become more clear what's going on as I keep reading.
