New Slaine really is a huge step back in the right direction after the last couple of volumes. My books turned up yesterday and I've already read the 4 shorter stories in there and thoroughly enjoyed all of them. The Swan Children is absolutely glorious a beautiful little celtic fairy tale with stunning art to match. Just got The Secret Commonwealth left to go. Although after a quick flick through the pages and I'm unconvinced by the art, the style just doesn't feel like a good fit for Slaine at first glance - maybe it'll grow on me with a proper read.
