209. Jon Sable, Freelance Omnibus, vol. 2 by Mike Grell
     
     Adventure comics from the 80s. Great art, occasionally awkward characterization.
210. Lost Dogs by Jeff Lemire.
     
     Lemire's first graphic novel back in print. A little rough, but showing the promise exhibited in his current work.
211. African-American Classics (Graphic Classics, vol. 22) edited by Tom Pomplun & Lance Tooks.
     
     Anthology of comics adaptations of short stories & poems by Langston Hughes, Zora Neale Hurston, et al. (Checked out of the library.)
212. The Savage Sword of Conan, vol. 5 by Roy Thomas, John Buscema, et al.
     
     They seem to have run out of Robert E. Howard stories to adapt by the time they got to this volume.
213. Captain America: Death of the Red Skull by J.M. DeMatteis, Paul Neary, et al.
     
     I had fond memories of these comics from when I was a kid and am happy to say that it holds up well. (Library.)
214. The Lovely Horrible Stuff by Eddie Campbell
     
     Money, money, money. It's been a while since I read a comic that Campbell both wrote and drew, and I had forgotten just how good he is.
215. Snarked, vol. 1: Forks and Hope: Forks and Hope by Roger Langridge.
     
     Fantastic all-ages comic inspired by the works of Lewis Carroll. Fun & funny. One of the best comics I've read all year.
216. H.P. Lovecraft's the Dunwich Horror by Joe R. Landsdale, Robert Winberg & Peter Bergsting.
     
     Adaptation/sequel to Lovecraft's story. Not terribly impressed, which is unusual. I normally like Landsdale quite a bit. I think it was the art, which I didn't care for.
217. The Twelve, vol. 1 by J. Michael Straczynski & Chris Weston.
     
     (Library.)
218. The Twelve, vol. 2 by J. Michael Straczynski & Chris Weston.
     
     I enjoyed the first volume when it came out a couple of years ago, and I was looking forward to the second volume, but it was delayed and delayed. Glad it's finally out now. Nice wrap-up to the story. (Library.)
219. The Knight Life: Chivalry Ain't Dead by Keith Knight.
     
     The first (and only, as far as I know) collection of Knight's syndicated "autobiographical" comic strip.
220. FF, vol. 3: All Hope Lies in Doom by Jonathan Hickman, Juan Bobillo & Nick Dragotta.
     
     It had been too long since I read volume 2, so I had difficulty remembering what was going on, and the book made no allowances for new readers or faulty memories. (Library.)
221. Marvel Universe Spider-Man: Amazing Fantasy by Paul Tobin, Rob DiSalvo, et al.
     
     Fun all-ages comics.
222. Invincible Iron Man, vol. 9: Demon by Matt Fraction & Salvador Larroca.
     
     (Library.)
223. The Defenders, vol. 1 by Matt Fraction, Terry Dodson, et al.
     
     Weirdness in the Marvel Universe.
