My friend was actually assigned The Road for summer reading for her English class. Kind of jealous... The Road is one of my favorite books, and I have to read The Kite Runner.

Funnily enough, she was also assigned On The Road.

You have to at least respect how the writers managed to explain why superheros can't ever seem to die, I mean they plugged a hole that had been leaking for so many years in this one, that's admirable at least. Plus it's a cross over series so of course there's going to be a lot of superheroes in it.

As for Batman: The Long Halloween it's definitely one of the better Batman graphic novels because it puts an emphasis on Batman's detective abilities rather than him just punching people in the face.

it's still overload for me, including all the Lanterns, there's at least 20-30,000 superheroes and a few billion Black Lanterns....

Yellow is solid, a love story, i just got Hulk : Gray as well, also by the same team
