  0 0 Sorry for the late reply, but you might enjoy a fun book called "Soon I Will Be Invincible" by Austin Grossman. It's a lot more like Dr. Horrible than Buffy or Firefly, but with a great sense of humor.

  0 0 Kim Harrison's Hollows series is pretty cool. Interpersonal drama, supernatural drama, people getting stabbed drama... some comedy. It's good stuff. dwight moody answered in Books & Writing about 1 year ago | Report Comment on this answer Enter your comment or ask a new question preview THIS IS A PREVIEW: Click "Post" to submit it or "Edit" to make changes. edit Please wait… This could take a minute if the tubes are clogged.

  1 0 You've probably read them already, and if not, I'm surprised. But pick up the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series by Douglas Adams. More funny-nerd-icon stuff, but in the realm of Sci-fi. The Long Dark Teatime of the Soul is good too, though its prequel, Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency, put me to sleep.

  0 0 You do realize that the Astonishing X-men was only supposed to have been 12 issues or one year long? It was such a hit that Marvel asked him to extend it to 25 issues, and so he did, but admitted that he had pretty much used up his ideas on what all he had wanted to do and was vamping or padding quite a bit to reach the end of his run. You knew that, didn't you? (Something similar had happened with John Byrne's run on Alpha Flight when he agreed to write two years worth, cause they forced him to, and by the time he got to the great unveiling in about issue #24...things had stretched out to about #28, and all sorts of silliness was happening with the damn Beyonder and Secret Wars II crossovers...

  1 0 What about Neil Gaiman? American Gods and Anansi Boys are definitely readable and along the right lines. His Sandman series, available in full graphic novel form, is really good. Compulsive reading fare. Also, maybe some of Charles de Lints's novels, especially the ones set in the fictional city of Newford. Well-loved characters are often revisited in the Newford books and the mythology surrounding Newford, the characters, and the 'otherworlds' that are visited is very layered and interesting. De Lint seems to be dogged by terrible cover design though, in my opinion, so don't be put off by that. Try Widdershins or Tapping The Dream Tree. answered in Books & Writing about 1 year ago | Report Comment on this answer Enter your comment or ask a new question preview THIS IS A PREVIEW: Click "Post" to submit it or "Edit" to make changes. edit Please wait… This could take a minute if the tubes are clogged.

  0 0 Cherie Priest's Boneshaker is a good mix of horror and levity. Imagine the monsters of Buffy and the period piece flavor of Firefly. John Green's fiction has a lot of crossover with Whedon fans, especially Paper Towns and An Abundance of Katherines. The suggestions in your question lean more toward humor, so if you're looking for something funny, you might want to listen to Sacrelicious's recommendation about Terry Pratchett's Discworld series. You might also like the The Pirates! in an Adventure with... series by Gideon DeFoe.

  0 0 This fellow Whedon fan just finished devouring Lonely Werewolf Girl by Martin Millar. The plot has that mix of high drama (murder! mayhem! werewolf duels!) and daily-life detail (roommate crushes, school avoidance, shopping) that Whedon does so well, and the eponymous character -- a grumpy, illiterate, socially inept, laundanum-addicted teenager -- is strangely compelling. I couldn't put it down.

  1 0 If Good Omens is on the list I'm guessing that you've already accounted for Terry Pratchett's Discworld books. I would suggest some Christopher Moore. I really enjoyed Bloodsucking Fiends and A Dirty Job. The sequel to Bloodsucking Fiends was just okay. I haven't read the third.
