That Rising Stars comic by J. Michael whatever was hilarious. They were pushing that shit like it would be "the next Watchmen". Please. It takes more than melodrama and shitty Rob Liefeld-style art to be good.
It would take something huge to get me to buy an American comic again. The only currently running series I trust is Berserk, although I will flip through the new Daredevil if some say it's worthy. All those variant embossed holographic big titty cover comics of the 90s made me completely lose faith in this industry.
Fantagraphics is good too.Quote:

Fantagraphics is certainly a level or two above Dark Horse. I have no problem with Frank Miller and Alan Moore and some of those other guys, but Daniel Clowes, Chris Ware, Charles Burns, and the Hernandez brothers are just on another artistic plane.Quote:

Jim Woodring is a god. I'll never understand a thing he does but that doesn't change just how damn cool it is. Seek out the Frank graphic novels and just let your brain soak in them.

Just go poke around there and see.
Also worth noting, all graphic novels at Waldenbooks/Borders are buy 2, get 1 free.
Just a heads-up. :)

Yeah, I knew Sin City was DH, I got carried away and fucked up =/
So, because of this thread, I stopped by the local comics store. Bought this Countdown to Infinite Crisis comic (80 pages for $1!!) that seems to lead into the big annual summer crossover that I got sick of years ago.
Hell, I'd buy anything with Blue Beetle on the cover.
Sure enough, it's a Blue Beetle/Booster Gold story. Apparently a lot of shit has gone down since I last saw them. They're not as happy-go-lucky as they once were, and it looks like shit is hitting the fan and nobody helps them out. Booster is incapacitated and hospitalized, but Ted Kord keeps going, and manages to unearth the (surprising) main villain all on his own.
Then at the end. Oh god at the end. I can't even say it.
Why would they do this? I'm seriously hurt by this.
I just got Maison Ikkoku v.1-9 in one shot at Waldenbooks, and I'd forgotten how much fun they are. I never got to finish the comic series back in the day, it'll be great to finally see how the story ends. There's still at least one volume beyond this one, though, but even so it's nice to be up to speed on what's available.

Traded in a box of old comics to a store for $80 in credit. I ended up picking up the 2nd and 3rd Sin City books, as well as From Hell. At $35, I never would've bought it with real money.
As good as From Hell was, I enjoyed Watchmen more.
Someone somewhere on here in the last few months posted about the Bone One Volume and listed somewhere online where it was pretty cheap. For the life of me I can't find the posts discussing it and wanted to check what price it was if they even still had the sale or naturally low price or whatever it was still going on. So, uh, if you know what I'm talking about please help. I've never read Bone but I have an urge to go through the series.
