i've read Good Bye Chunky Rice by craig thompson, it was quite nice but i wasn't amazed by it or anything. i've been kind of interested in reading blankets though because it seems like kind of a big book at the moment |

They're all cool fragments, but On Sports – "about the meaning of sports in our society" really nailed it for me. Quote:
I suppose a thankful gaze at your internet presence for this is in order. Consider it gazed at. That's cool someone actually got to see the picture; it has that beautiful intimacy to it one can only 'snap' in close contact. And let me just add 'the monologue means nothing to me', that it takes two (or more) for communication. So be thanked for good reading as well.

Though I've never read Akira, the art work looks pretty amazing..

The "christian" tracts you are talking about are probably of Jack Chick. This nice old lady used to bicycle to my university every day or so and set up a table with a full spread of them for free. There is one about how buddhists are all going to hell. Ah yes here we go.

I hate the term Graphic Novel its like calling a song a soundscape, whats wrong with Comic Books.
Anyway you really have to read: V for Vendetta - Alan Moore Watchmen - Alan Moore From Hell - Alan Moore League of extraordinary Gentlemen - Alan Moore Pretty much evrything by Alan Moore is touched by genius but those are his classics and rule over everything in Forbidden Planet The Filth - Grant Morrison (serious headfuckery written whilst he was in the midst of a self induced mental breakdown as part of a magic ritual) Maus - Art Spiegelman Superman Red Son - Mark Millar Batman Dark Knight Returns - Frank Miller Daredevil Born Again - Frank Miller Anything by Neil Gaimen including or especially Sandman which is brilliant. I'd also recommend the X Men run by Joss Whedon The Preacher series by Warren Ellis And Jinx by Brian Michael Bendis is meant to be very good but Ive not read it yet. |

i recently have gotten back into graphic novels / comics.
i think it is great that they have now put out classic volumes of rare comic books for people to buy affordably ie marvel masterworks editions. i just pick up the first few xmen versions. it seems like the comic community frowns on them but i think they are great. also i love the dark knight returns, arkham asylum, and killing joke. i love this list, it gives me a bunch of great stuff to check out for someone getting back into it. also, i do have sandman 1, 2 ,3 - are they worth much?

I always liked Witchblade. It had a pretty awesome storyline and was well drawn. I never was into graphic novels that much, I'd be interested to pick up a few sometime.

Yes, Arkam Asylum is excellent. I am not a big graphic novel person, but I love Kyle Baker, you might want to check him out, too. |
