If there's one comic I'd point someone toward to show them just what someone can accomplish with a graphic novel, then it would be Sandman.


Spoiler for Big-as-****:
**** context, just take in the weirdness.

I've done Watchmen, The Walking Dead, and V-vendetta.

Pretty new to the genre.

Sandman is right up there with those. It's simply required reading.

I actually still have the original Sandman 1-10 I bought sometime in the early 90's. Should probably unload them as they are just sitting in a cupboard although they are in plastic. Great Series.

Binge watched all season 1 of True Detective. Amazing. The Rust character is great.

Binged the first three episodes of season 2 of TD. Such a completely different animal from season 1. I get that's the intent but it's hard to deal with coming off of the complete awesomeness of season 1.

Spoiler for Spoilers:
Few comments:

- Enough with the overhead panning shots of LA freeways that are not bumper to bumper traffic in the middle of the day.

- Too many side stories going on. Frank's impotence, Paul's gay dalliance during the war, the Mayor's f-cked up family, all add nothing to the narrative IMO (at least not yet).

- Vince Vaughn yanking out Goldie's teeth to show he's still badass? A bit overdone. I can see Goldie having one of his homies putting a bullet in Frank's skull for that.


Still better than most of what's on TV and I'm really hoping it gets more focused and intense like season 1 did as it went on.

Anybody watching Mr. Robot? I'm hearing really good things but I'm not sure if I should add it to the list.
