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.

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

No idea what I should even expect from that book, but it looks interesting.
