Bindings was the first Vertigo anything I had read, and since now I own all of the Books of Magic and Sandman paperbacks, not to mention a few others, I can tell you that it's addictive. It has a few lines that I love - I'll try to type them here, but I may not have them exactly right: "Love is what keeps things moving so that they stay together, and fear is what makes you hold so still you fall apart.", and "Was this Arraune, where the lake women wove water and sighs into blue-green silk, or was this Telis, where lost hopes paced the streets, begging strangers to take them in?" So I like parallel sentence structure . . . The story line is also very interesting; the manticore is a terrific villian, and I think we all like Death of the Endless. I do, however, have two complaints. The first: it's kind of short. Second, and this is more of a real complaint, when Tamlin first shows up, Tim recognizes him and launches into this dialogue that is kind of confusing, because Tamlin wasn't in the first miniseries paperback, by Neil Gaiman, and Bindings contains issues 1-4 of the series itself. The incident Tim refers to is in the story Long Walks In Dancing Shoes, which is in the Books of Faerie paperback (which story also explains Marya and Daniel fairly well, for those who have read Summonings), but Bindings does not try to explain this. Sigh. It is,however, excellent on the whole.
Format:Paperback
Good story. John Ney Rieber is to be congratulated for his script, but Peter Gross should either go back to art school or SLOW DOWN. One gets the impression that he either lacks skill or was in a hurry to meet his deadline. I wish to god Charles Vess, who is created with the cover art, had drawn the whole piece, because his work is really quite fine. As if to back me up, the introduction by Jane Yolen praises the storytelling but never once mentions the art work. For good reason.

With art work that does not stand out quite as well as the first of the series this graphic novel is still a magical read. Timothy Hunter is searching for the truth about his family and past.But throwing himself into danger through his curiosity.
