Comics/Graphic Novels

Started reading Hellblazer, which really makes the movie suck.

I think the movie was pretty embarrassing in its own right, but yeah I've been slowly reading my way through the series. I think I'm up to issue... 60, it's before Steve Dillon and Garth Ennis (of Preacher fame) started drawing/ writing it.

As for me... well a friend of mine gave me an anthology of American Splendor which I've been slowly making my way through. I do like how it's one of the few comic books that was squarely aimed at adults when the medium was still written around kids, but I just don't see what it is about it that made my friend puke rainbows over it.

just 14 issues of slugfests

and i don't even like Carnage much

at least it has Iron Fist and Deathlok, and interesting villains like Shriek and Demogoblin

Huge fan of carnage and venom but even as a kid I felt like this was a weird event

Still fun to look back at those old issues I have

it was looooooooooong without much of a plot

also:-

some sort of war between the Angels, with GR seeking revenge against some angel named Zadkiel - moves along like an R-Rated movie, though the final story, God Don't Exist in a Cell Block, is a rather funny black comedy

really rather "hard-boiled" and very good - is a tale of Baron Zemo trying to "break" the new Captain America aka Bucky Barnes aka The Winter Soldier (KGB soldier) - forms a part of a long continuing arc, the other parts which i'm getting soon

Is 300 worth trying? I heard the comics were good.

Usually I read comics from apps on my phone. Mostly free ones unless I have money to spend. Don't have a computer to download really so I go by recs. Read a lot of Marvel pop comics. The free ones are more obscure. Hit and miss too. I really liked Sam and Twich though. Quite stylish criminology.

it's hardly as good as the movie - it's also not a series - it's only one graphic novel

the art is sketchy, the story so-so - only thing good about it is that it's authentic historically - the Spartans are nude

Ah ok. Well since it's one novel suppose it's easy to try.

Hmm I like historical settings. Should probably find some more around.

My buddy published a comic with Image this past year called Moriarty: The Dark Chamber which is freaking awesome! I'd recommend it if anyone's interested in the whole Sherlock Holmes/Moriarty mystique.
