Andy Diggle et al's Cold Iron is pretty fun: it's set on the Isle of Man, and draws from fairytales and folktales. It's perhaps not too surprising that it sees creatures from Faerie intruding upon our world, and that a trip to Faerie is eventually indicated, but it's a fun ride nonetheless.
I liked the art, and I liked Kay, her practical approach to realising that actually, her grandmother was right after all -- and her fierceness in fighting for those she cares about, and those she feels a responsibility to.
It wasn't too surprising in terms of where the plot went, given the givens, but I had fun, and I also quite appreciated that it included a short story at the end with a little bit more closure.
