After a couple of excellent story arcs (Boneyard, v.4, 2006, and v.5, 2006), Moore’s sexy graveyard sitcom-cum-soaper rests on its laurels in this rather snoozy arc about vampire-heroine Abbey roping cemetery owner Michael Paris into squiring her to the Illuminary’s Ball, a gathering of invited supernaturals from throughout the universe. The should-be-fun event isn’t entirely, for it’s also the occasion for certain invitees’ performance reviews. Abbey is slated for the hot seat this time, and archrival Lilith spikes her drink but good. Drawn out it may be, but it’s also drawn cute, as usual. Series fans, if not many others, will indulge it. --Ray Olson
