Volume 7 just came out. It's about a young brother and sister who jump to another world, in which certain people have stone Amulets which give them powers-- but the Amulets are kind of like the Rings in Lord of the Rings in some ways.

It mostly examines power, the quest for power, the right use of power, etc. Wonderful story with great art!

I've seen a few posts on some of the comic forums I hang around in, everything anyone says is always good, but I haven't had the chance to read it yet...been catching up with Mr. James Fenimore Cooper recently.

Amulet is interesting because most of the characters are talking animals-- but they are really human beings who have a virus that makes them look like animals. It's an interesting way to handle it, I think. The animal characters can act perfectly human, and yet be cute and furry-- or wriggly and slimy, or whatever.

Kind of like the people turned to objects in beauty in the beast? They walk that line?
