*The Legend of Vox Machina* isn’t like a typical dragons and fantasy TV show or anime. Those aren’t appealing because everyone is so dour or earnest. *The Legend of Vox Machina* is like a good game of Dungeons and Dragons if all the players were smart and witty. The characters are mostly irreverent and unconcerned about their own survival.
The animation, dialogue and plot are all well done. Even someone only mildly interested in the fantasy genre can enjoy it. There is quite a bit of swearing.
The Sandman Slim book series is urban fantasy, but not in a Dresden Files way. It isn’t so much witches and magic, but in the heaven and hell way. In Sandman Slim, there is God and heaven, along with Satan and hell, but not the way you’d think.
Sandman Slim is a guy who is more than just human, but doesn’t know it. The series starts with him returning from Hell where he was sent and survived as a pit fighter. There is serious action, but the humor is witty and dark. There are eleven books in the series, and they all move along briskly. I enjoyed it.
