I just reread The Black Hole by Charles Burn and Robert Crumb's America. Both were excellent. Anyone a fan of either? I didn't really get The Black Hole but feel like I'm not supposed to.

I haven't seen The Black Hole but I do like Charles Burns. Haven't bought any new comics in years though. I have Hard Boiled Defective Stories by Charles Burns (1980s) and he has work in some of the Raw series I collected back then.

Sorry to be that guy, it's just Black Hole, not The Black Hole. The Black Hole is a Disney movie.

Great book though! I love Charles Burns.

I make mistakes like that all the time. T'is embarassin'. I really liked the art and the surreal feel of the story. It reminded me of Love and Rockets, another great comic.

I knew a girl in high school who was really into Neil Gaiman and have been meaning to get some stuff by him. Anyone know of some good work to start on?

Just slowly work your way through The Sandman series. It'll take you a while but it's worth it.

another one of those time-space things with Kang the Conqueror/Immortus, sure is helluva lot better than the movie and has Yellowjacket, probably my fave Avenger cos he's cuckoo





"World's Greatest" and "Master of Doom"

Millar has a taste for the bizarre, horrific, ultra-sexy and neo-Realistic

love both

anybody read this bad boy?


best batman comic i've read. Lives up to the premise (something a lot of these comics have been disappointing me by not doing) and has a great art style. Wish more superheroes were this grounded. I wish batman was more like this in general.

talk about the Bat........

pretty curious how this Dick Grayson and Damian Wayne thingie is turning out

won't be buying the next installment, though, as Grant Morrison is no longer writing it

edit - okay, i've read both - so Bruce returns

it's always the same effing deal, Azrael was Batman after Knightfall and I liked him

Dick and Damian are the new Batman & Robin, and they still would be (only in Gotham) but I can do without Wayne returning, and this whole Batman : Incorporated thing

sheesh!
