If you're into comics, I can not recommend the Aria series enough. Written by Brian Holguin, drawn by Jay Anacleto, and published by Avalon Studios, the collection of miniseries sees Lady Kidare, a faerie princess and now occult book/antique store owner dealing with the remnants of the 'old world' when it butts heads against 'modern' times. The writing is descent but the art of the early issues is fabulous, almost photo realistic. Look for cameos of some famous faces *cough*garyoldman*cough*.
The first miniseries sees Kildare trying to solve the murder of the Cottingly Fairies. During the second series, set during during the Victorian Spiritualist Movement, Kidare finds a real angel being held in a sideshow. Puck shows up in the third story arch running a black market for supernatural creatures wanting to buy a human soul. We take another trip back for the fourth miniseries to see Kildare reconnecting with her old bf True Thomas against the backdrop of 1960's London. The final TB shows what happens when Kildare comes face to face with our 21st century ideas of a fairytale kingdom.
