[I_miss_lily]

Popbot

DMZ

Wintermen

Popbot is tough to read, mostly just great art, DMZ is fucking awsome though. Wintermen I just got into on the recommendation of a friend, good shit so far.

[BOORADLEY]

absolute kingdom come, absolute dark knight and 300.

[Ryan]

Optic Nerve - Adrian Tomine, its annoying cuz i can actually relate to alot of it..ugh.

All my old Calvin and Hobbes collections

I've been meaning to read Like a Velvet Glove Cast In Iron

Jim Woodring is pretty crazy

I've given up on Marvel, DC, et al a long time ago..

[DaBestSpoona]

Perry Bible

Optic Nerve - Adrian Tomine

I've given up on Marvel, DC, et al a long time ago..

I love Optic Nerve...

I used to read comics avidly as a kid...

Recently I walked into the local book store and they were promoting 'graphic novels'... so I browsed... walked out with the full collection of Alias (Bendis) and much of the recent run of DD (again by Bendis) and I finally got the last chapter of Preacher, and a bunch of Warren Ellis titles.

Bendis is going to go down as one of the greatests like Moore, Gaiman, Morrison, etc.

Highly recommended.

I love Optic Nerve...

co sign on tomaine.

read the graphic novel version of the fountain and just re read black hole by burns, watchmen, and snake pit this week.

[homme.homme]

Fables (vertigo)

[artificialsky]

[mis]

Sandman is probably the only series I've completed(Graphic novel? Eh?)

Fables was good too

[Corbin Law]

Perry Bible

im so with you on that

plus ive always been an xmen fan

not so much ultimate, but uncanny for life.

esstentials volumes 1-6

and 1602 was very good too

and im currently also reading v for vendetta right now

its pretty badass.

[dry the rain]

ultimate x-men is great. i don't care what anyone says, i fucking love the x-men.

marvel 1602 is by neal gaiman (spelling?)...the guy that wrote sandman. i quite enjoyed it, as well.

100 bullets on Vertigo is great super-pulp style noir.

and Demo is an interesting if somewhat emo indie trade.

[Crhistoph]

100 Bullets

The Boys

Desolation Jones

Fell

All really good but not very comic-y aside from The Boys. They're all more 'grown-up' mind.

[amadoriv]

Preacher, by Vertigo.

[DaBestSpoona]

Isn't preacher going to be a hbo series?

[jubei]

^ I heard that too

Forgot to mention that I freaking love Astonishin X-Men. I don't watch Buffy at all, but Whedon can write the X-Men like nobody's business. Solid Gold.

Sandman, Watchmen, Dark Knight Returns are other faves... I guess I just prefer the superhero-y ones.

[Charlie Delta]

- Jeremiah

- Lanfeust van Troy

- anything by Chris Ware (trying to collect all his stuff but it's difficult to get hold off....)

[keri]

last one i read was a coupe years ago, i think it was donny something or other had a skitzed out squirell talking about creamy creamy cream cheese.

[CaptMomo]

um

[nappyhead jenkins]

I just got into Fables and caught serious vapors i dunno how i could have missed out on this book its filling my LOEG jones

aside from that im a Super Hero Geek no shame i read tons of crap

actually, I was thinking of checking out Promethea (which I hear is very meta-textual)... maybe I'll check out Tom Strong while I'm at it.

[doctorgnar]

co sign on tomaine.

Yes, Tomaine. I read Summer Blonde at least once a month.

Now I'm reading the genius, Acme Novelty Library #16 and 17. Chris Ware. Great.

[jubei]

didn't this guy have a serial running in the NYT Magazine?

[minya]

I was not a huge fan of Promethea... not really sure why. I think Tom Strong is a lot better. (Plus, the Tom Strong spin-offs/side stories are pretty cool....)

[78]

Chris Ware floors me.

I only can take his work in small doses.

One 'book' a year is about right.

ha.

Black Hole was great... then it ended... I wanted more... Not to mention it took about a gazillion years for each issue to come out... giving Optic Nerve a run for it's money...

Recently finished Smoke n' Mirrors... nice stuff... still not as good as American Gods but it did transport me...
