The Good Neighbors is a Comic Book trilogy by Holly Black and Ted Naifeh. The trilogy follows the story of Rue Silver, a somewhat typical Young Adult Fantasy heroine. She discovers that she is actually a human/faerie hybrid destined to be heir to the faerie throne. Of course, the faerie in general don't like the humans and there's a movement at foot that endangers Rue's friends and neighbors.

Tropes used in The Good Neighbors include:

• Awesome McCoolname: Rue Silver.
• Damaged Soul: People are stabbed in the heart with ritual daggers to turn them into trees. This is reversible, but the one example shown came back as a wood-hearted sociopath.
• Half-Human Hybrid
• Human Mom, Nonhuman Dad: Inverted -- Rue has a human dad and a non-human mom.
