Welcome aboard and hope you enjoy the ride.
Don't know who Frank Cho is, although I have seen copies of
Liberty Meadows around, which appears to evoke the aesthetic style of silver age comics. That being the case, I don't really see its direct influence on
Bakemonogatari. Still, it's a fresh and interesting perspective to take.
I really should be catching up with
Spice & Wolf II on my end, too. Unfortunately, there are only so many series I can follow intensively in one season.
