  1. But surely we're lone wolves Michael? At the vanguard of fashion.....Using our wabi sabi philosophy to devastating affect. A bit of buy sell, shekels out, carpet haggling is harmless no?

    That is what the Market is for. Discussion threads are meant to be informational resources - gatherings of information for the children of today and the future. Let's all do our part to make the future a better place.

  2. I was hoping for Amanda Connor interiors but she only does the cover.

    This is one of my pet peeves - I think the interior artist should do the cover. I don't know how many times I have searched a particular artist and thought they contributed to an issue only to find it was just the cover. I am not buying a comic just for the cover - no matter how many iterations they put out.

    So far I caught up with some superhero books - mostly the Batman titles. I have to say Court of owls is fucking amazing, best story since Black Mirror.

    I have never been a big DC guy but picked up Capullo's Batman and I have to agree that the Court Of Owls arc was very good.

    In unrelated superhero business, Waid's run on Daredevil has also been very good - Eisner award-winning good. They put out the collected version of the first 6 issues last week and it is worth picking up.

  3. It is just way too easy to buy comics on the iPad. I download too much stuff. Some books I have enjoyed over the last while:

    In the absense of any new Orc Stains I have turned to Gozilla Half Century War and Sullivan's Sluggers for my James Stokoe fix. Sluggers took a while to grab me but it was turned out to be good monster massacring fun.

    Have gotten all of the current Brandon Graham Prophet run, and while I have no idea what is happening half the time, I look forward to every issue.

    On that Brandon Graham tip I received the collected King City from a good friend. Everyone should read this.

    Got the first 2 Mouse Guard story arcs on a sale and promptly grabbed every other issue available. Beautiful art. Love those plucky little rodents.

    In further animal tales, Iron Or The War After is a "spellbinding, beautifully illustrated anthropomorphic tale" as the reviews go. Slow-burning spy story full of intrigue - worth checking out.

    Am a fan of JH Williams III so read Batwoman for the art. Can't wait to see what he does with Gaiman when they restart Sandman.

    Finally, remember kids, there are only 12 issues of Watchmen.
