Comics.

[icarusfall]

Like the stuff we create on this side of the ocean. I know I'm not the only one here that reads "normal" comics. What are some of your favorites? Feel free to exbound...

Some stuff I'm into:

Anything Brian Ralph makes. (Cave In, Climbing Out)

JTHM (Just like everyone else)

The Red Star - I swear I can't give these books enough praise. I've never seen a book that looked and felt like watching a movie in this literal of a sense. The story isn't lacking in any department either. Check this out...

Goodbye, Chunky Rice - Chuck Thompson

Really, just about anything 'Top Shelf' puts out.

Andi Watson does some really good stuff (Slow News Day).

The Sandman - I don't think I need to explain this one...

I forget the fellows name, but the book is called 'Flood.' It's only pictures, with a minimal amount of text in the end. Really creative.


Who else...?

-uncanny X-men: haven't cared about X-men in years but it's actually getting interesting again. northstar kicks ass. New X-men still doesn't interest me as much....may have something to do with Frank Quitely's art

-Sojourn

[Kidnemo]

Hate (any pete bagge stuff really)
Bone
Akiko on the Planet Smoo
Alot of the "one of" stuff from Fantagraphics Books is good

non-indie stuff

Frank Miller
The Tick books
Eric Larson


Uhm...yea, thats about it. I'll list specific titles and such later, but right now I'm multi-tasking like crazy.

[Deus13]

Right now, all I am reading is "Out There", pretty good so far. I need to out and get somemore stuff.

Also, I cant get enough of re-reading "Kingdom Come".

[Wolffen]

Stormwatch: Team Achilles
Bone
Liberty Meadows
Midnight Nation
Shonen Jump (best bang for buck on the market)
Hellboy

[Lordmrw]

I think this would be better in Sound Off but anyway:

Alias
Ultimate Spider-Man
Amazing Spider-Man
Ultimates
Uncanny X-Men
Ultimate X-Men
Avengers
Thor
Exiles
Black Panther
100 Bullets
JSA
JLA
Daredevil
Stormwatch Team Achilles
The Flash
Green Arrow
GI Joe
Batman
Extreme X-Men

God damn, that's alot. On any given week I'll pick up a random book from a smaller publisher, or a self published book that catches my eye.

There were a couple big comic book threads in Sound Off, the monthly one keeps popping back up. Anyways, I just bought Creature Tech.

I've liked some of Vasquez's stuff in the past, but JTHM is complete crap.

I (casually) read...
-
Stray Bullets
Sandman
SPX releases
some Marvel Essentials
the occasional Fantastic Four

and of course...
-
Watchmen
lots of Frank Miller
Maus

I borrowed JTHM from a friend and I didn't like it either. "oooh, johnny kills someone! weeee!"

[icarusfall]

The book really isn't about him killing people; that's just what draws the kiddies in. It's really about Vasquez trying to find a place for himself in the world. Johnny is the same way. At least that's what I get out of it, from the interviews and context... :/
