Reading the Sandman Slim series right now. Kinda meh. It bills itself as a dark, antihero detective fantasy, but it just comes off as edgy tryharding and the 'darkest' thing about it is that Satan is kind of nice while God's actually a bit of a jerk.

Fucking Jane Yellowrock is darker than this. And somehow despite apparently the whole world hanging in the balance and god and angels and whatnot, I felt like the stakes were higher in Midnight Riot. And why the hell, with all these badass creatures around, does the author make the main villain a generic, boring, lulzevil wizard human?
