Elizabeth Watison, while perhaps too slow in her production, is the finest black and white artist shy of the Hernandez Brothers of Love and Rockets fame. And her classic love triangle story of girl realizes she's gay, meets boyishly cute vampire and falls in love, only to then be pursued heavily by an outrageously hot and persistant faerie chick who has a lot more going on than meets the eye is ridiculously cute. The setting of a sort of "Halloween High" is excellent and the background characters have a lot of personality and provide endless amusement. I'm not even sure who I want to see Bunny the good witch end up with - both the sexy drag racing vampire and the smoking otherworldy faerie Fairer Than are awesome. This is cute and sweet and beautifully drawn, but painfully short as the trade only holds about 6 of the existing 7 issues. Also, there hasn't been a new issue of this out in over a year... much to my sincere dismay. They were never very regular to begin with but I have no idea - even from searching the internet - if this series has been discontinued or put on hiatus or what.
