Right on, dude. I was hoping somebody would mention Preacher

I really like the writing for Preacher, the art work is also pretty top notch. Jesses' back story is one twisted piece of work too. There is also a decent element of humor there too, especially in the character of Arseface. Still it's in 3rd place out of my favorite comic series. Fell is my 2nd, god that series is amazing, everyone I've recommended it to have all come back wanting more, it's brilliantly written in short doses so you never get bored and it doesn't outstay it's welcome. Transmetropolitan is still the best I've ever read and would totally recommend it anyone who's a fan of Hunter S. Thompson, cyber punk, or journalism.

Righty O. I'll check those out.

I have to admit to being a total n00b when it comes to comics and I haven't read too many, but I snagged this over the weekend. Mostly just because I absolutely love the cover art (I have a larger wall poster of it hanging at home), but also because I've read that Alan Moore is a fantastic graphic novel writer. From doing a minute amount of research online, and asking a few comic shop guys I thought this was going to be a hard find, and an expensive one at that, but I just happened upon it suddenly while I was looking for something else. I hope to start reading it soon! Anyone else read the series? Whatcha think?

I read a few issues, the characters aren't as interesting as most of his other stuff.

I recommend checking out "miracle man" if your interested in Alan Moore. It's crazy.

I actually have that Saga of the Swamp Thing. When I get back on my comic reading, I'll get around to it.

OK...so I just finished book 1 of this comic series. Mixed feelings about it for sure. Mostly I enjoyed the art work, but it bothered me that Roland and his ka-tet always have their faces in shadows. I couldn't tell if there was supposed to be some symbolic point to that, or if the artist was just getting lazy. I am glad to be getting some background information on the Dark Tower story, however at time I find the characters confusing. Also, the comic gave me the impression that Walter and Marten where the same person...did I misread something? Because the book makes it seem like they aren't. So if any of you have read this comic and can clear that up for me, that'd be great.

I see that I haven't posted anything about the fantastic Shaun Tan. I recently got ahold of The Arrival. Check it out (no text, just pictures, but wow, what imagery):

I kind of want to get into reading comics, so maybe I'll try The Watchmen or something(reccemendations would be cool). ^ Those pictures are really great by the way.

Just came across the comic thread on here. Well I`ve actually decided to read the history of marvel (Ie all the main titles from the start) its taken me well over a year now to read Amazing Spider Man, Fantastic Four, Iron Man, Thor, Hulk, Captain America, Avengers, X-Men, Defenders, Master of Kung-Fu, Dracula amongst others. Started in the early 1960`s and am currently around 1976 and its a hell of a read, as I move on I`m going to have to select titles given the amount of titles I know Marvel brought out in the 1980`s.
