Re: OT: Comic Books!

I can't keep up with anything anymore, too expensive and too many damn crossovers/"events" to really bother. I'll sometimes buy trades, sometimes I'll download, but nothing has really grabbed me in quite a while. Last books I was reading: Locke & Key, Chew, DMZ, Walking Dead, Bomb Queen, Hack/Slash, Popbot, Fell. I wish Ellis would do more Nextwave, or Marvel would have some sense and do a cartoon or movie. With the popularity of stuff like Kick-Ass and other violet/dark humor/anti-hero stuff it would be a cash cow, but not many people have read it. It was brilliant.

Re: OT: Comic Books!

I get to read a lot of them at work, nothing too current though. Achewood is the best by far for me, Chris Ware a close second. Persepolis, Maus, and Alan Moore are all amazing too. Definitely need to read Y the Last Man, heard a bunch of good things.

Ditto. That's one reason I really liked Bendis' Ultimate Spider-Man. Started everything from scratch and kept the crossovers to a minimum.

Y is awesome, i have the first volume of the deluxe volumes and just finished it. it was really awesome just ordered the 2nd. I also super recommend Chew. One of the best series I've read in so long. 5th trade just came out last week.

I just bought this myself , it was good but I'm really only an Invisibles fan... and I liked Morrison's 'The Filth' too though. I've never been able to get into anything else really, I started Transmetropolitan and got board after the first 3 graphic novels and I read the two un-men graphic novels too which were alright but not really my thing. I just want Grant Morrison to write more invisbles or something similar. :smileyhappy:

Re: OT: Comic Books!

I've been out of the comic loop since the late 90s but recently started rereading The Maxx. I was really into it back in the day but appreciate the story so much more now that I'm older and understand it better. I've got to track down the dozen or so issues I'm missing. In the meantime I've ordered the first Sandman, Ojo, and My Inner Bimbo trades.

Re: OT: Comic Books!

Yeah, I read a fair number of comics. Incorruptible is pretty good, if you're looking for something contemporary. Transmetropolitan is probably one of my favorite books of all time. Right now I'm reading Denny O'Neil's 80s run of The Question.

Rice Boy. Civil War was really great. I was reading walking dead for a while, but stopped after the prison arch. The only thing I keep up with is Yotsuba&!

The only thing I actually buy is Hiroaki Samura's Blade of the Immortal. The library system here has a quite a good selection, and I occasiionally check out other things.

You bet! Locke and Key is good - looking forward to the last chapter. Walking Dead is my only constant. I enjoy Brubaker crime stuff most of the time.
