Anyone read this?

The only part I read was a tie-in mini-series because it got dropped right in the middle of a series I was reading. Was good. And yes that's Angela from Spawn. She's a Marvel character now and Thor's long lost sister.

I've been exploring graphic novels a lot lately and have a huge amazon list going.. Not really big on the super hero genre but 1602 caught my attention. Maybe I'll pick it up. Still need to finish Fables and Sandman

Have you drooled over this guys collection yet?

I will continue to shill for this comic until someone ****ing reads it. You don't like superheroes? Well here's a bat**** crazy superhero comic that makes Watchmen (which this author also wrote) look almost traditional. You are not ready.

Had to keep pausing the video to judge his collection. Nice stuff.

I don't have a problem with the super hero genre (except for Batman, fuck him).. They are far too expansive to justify starting (I want to be able to finish something I start).. I might eventually pick up the main xmen series or something (and pretend like the story arcs dont exist), but for now im focused on smaller series.

Cool suggestion.. I'm interested in anything Gaiman atm, I've read 3-4 things by him at this point and I've enjoyed them all.

Miracleman is connected to nothing and consists of 24 issues. It's not a major commitment as far as comics go. And it was written by Alan Moore, until he left and was replaced by Neil Gaiman, so it's clearly a no-brainer.

Alan Moore's Swamp Thing run is orgasmically good. Highly recommended. And The Wicked + The Divine is also pretty fantastic. One of the main characters is basically and intentionally Kanye West as a literal god. You should also throw some Judge Dredd on that list BTW.

****ing Swamp Thing though.
