Comics/Graphic Novels

Since I'm all caught up on my Walking Dead comics, I started reading this one recently:

Just finished the second trade paperback today, but this story is so damn good so far. Anyone else read it?

Any one ever read epileptic?
Its a really nice autobiographical comic book about a young boy and his older brother who is an epileptic. It shows them growing up and has a wonderful art style.

Anyone read Black Hole? I loved it. It was really interesting, unique and original. Very good stuff.

Yes, of course we've read it. I may be mistaken but I thought I've read a bit of MB love for it in the past.
As for unique and original, I'm not so sure about those because it does bother me that some of the 1990s-2000s comics published by Fantagraphics look and feel EXACTLY alike. However, this didn't stop me from paying $25 for the hardbound edition of 'Black Hole' (Pantheon, 2005) as soon as it was available. It's a truly excellent piece of literature and I love it too.
Here's one of hundreds of great panels found within..

Yeah, I read it earlier this year. Great stuff! Charles Burns lives in the same city as me so I've had the privilege going a lecture of his as well.

Been reading Criminal, the Walking Dead, and a lot of DC's New 52.

That is very cool!
Grant Morrison did a talk here a while back but I only found out about it a couple of days later. I was pretty gutted

New X-Men #4 - Grant Morrison & Various Artists

okay, i was less than impressed by issues 1 to 3, but the writing has picked up with the introduction of "Fantomex"/Weapon XIII - the art is a bit more patchy than the first three books - very sketchy and looking unfinished, but the story's better
