Amulet 2

I don't read many graphic novels, but there's one that I think is really good: Kazu Kibuishi's Amulet. He recently came out with book two, and it's like ten times better than the first one. And I already liked the first one. This is an image of the new cover.
The new book really opens up the plot - while before, we really only saw Emily and Navin in a seemingly small, dark world, they are now thrown into the bright city of Kanalis. More characters are introduced, and it has a lot more action. Emily's duty as Stonekeeper is also brought further into the plot; she undergoes training to control the Amulet's power. Overall, it really is taking the series in the right direction, and I enjoyed it very much.
