So you've read Watchmen, V for Vendetta, and now Sandman. What's the fourth? And next time you're looking for #5, I'll rec you Hawkeye. If you don't know if you can deal with mainstream superhero comics, but you still think the Avengers movies are cool, then Hawkeye is pretty much perfect. An Avenger not really doing Avengery things with a tongue-in-cheek, down-to-earth storyline and some of the most likeable characters you'll ever find. It's hilarious, it's touching, it's ridiculous, it's real, and the art is phenomenal. And Kate Bishop is like the best thing ever. This was possibly the single comic that dragged me into being a more serious comic fan, and it's still one of the best series I've ever read.

Walking Dead. I'll look into Hawkeye but I was thinking about The Dark Knight Returns.

I've had that sitting on my shelf for forever, but I've just never gotten off my lazy ass and read it (I have seen the animated adaptation though). There's not really any excuse for me to have been that lazy either. It's not too long a comic either, so it won't be a massive time investment.

Chula, if you don't know it I'd recommend the Judge Dredd graphic novels from 2000 AD, including (possibly in this order) The Cursed Earth, The Day the Law Died, The Judge Child, The Apocalypse War, Unamerican Graffiti, and also Strontium Dog: Portrait of a Mutant. Slaine the King is not bad either, nor the Halo Jones series...

I've been re-reading Simon Reynolds Retromania (which is in and of itself somewhat ironic), and every time I revisit the text I find myself frantically scribbling more and more notes of referenced cultural artifacts I must explore further.

Having already claimed and framed the first-ever issue of WIRED for my room of cyber-and-pirate culture, it seemed only logical that my next act be the securing of a copy of Mondo 2000's A User's Guide to the New Edge: Cyberpunk, Virtual Reality, Wetware, Designer Aphrodisiacs, Artificial Life, Techno-Erotic Paganism, and More!

Promptly ordered a copy. I can't wait to read this!

Thanks.

So is anyone interested in buying the first four volumes of Sandman once I'm done with them? I'll sell them at 50% off what I paid.

I would but I don't trust you not to mail me poop.

?????????

Thought you already read it.

I have. Don't have the physical books though.

Just ordered 4 more deluxe edition graphic novels from the Fables series. I plan to get a lot of reading in over spring break.
