Saw the anime years ago and just couldn't find the books, though they were translated into English for a while. No Hero is good as well, though it's coming to an end soon. Ellis seems like he's back to his old self. Black Summer was a bit of a letdown, but this seems to be on the right track, though the premise is somewhat similar. Still can't help but read the horror that is Ultimatum. I should have known it would be bad after reading the Ultimates volume 3.

Reading Catwoman When in Rome, not a big of Jeph Loeb the writer or Catwoman but im still enjoy the art,Catwomen the mystery set in italy with the Mafia. I bought it only as fan of the great art of Tim Sale.

Im following the Farscape comics - Dargos Lament andStrange Detractors

The latest issue of Detective Comics with the new Batwoman. I like her. Good addition to the Batverse.

The latest Action Comics annual. Not done yet but good so far.

Just finished Chopper: Song of the Surfer. The day before, Promethea Book 3. Prior to Promethea 1,2,3 I read The Kindly Ones. Before The Sandman, TLoEG 1 & 2.

In the middle of three epic series! All three are excellent.

Where next?

I am reading the graphic novels of Lucifer. I find I like them very much.

[misanthropologist]

Recently started "Fables" - only on volume 2 but, it's not as good as I had hoped. The art is good though...

Will start the "Lucifer" series soon

Still reading "Sandman" currently on Vol 8 - World's End

The last graphic novels I read were the 1st 2 volumes of Y-the last man, unfortunatley the 3rd deluxe volume isn't out till April.
I've been reccommended Angel & Buffy and I want to read the Firefly one.

But you've read it before right?

Please tell me it's so...

[Jayaprakash Satyamurthy]

Yes. I have!

[GOLLUM]

Phew!.... wipes brow and retracts electric prodder.

It's one of my favourite graphic novels of all time. Perhaps along with Watchmen, Swamp Thing and Miracel Man, Moore's best work (I rank V for Vendetta and League of Extraordinary Gentlemen on the next rung down).

[Perpetual Man]

I don't know, I found From Hell to be one of the hardest graphic novels to read, I have ever known. It's probably fair to say that I struggled reading it.

(Then I picked it up and just had to read it again stright away, so maybe I'm undervaluing it....)

As for myself, I've not read a comic or graphic novel in (gulp) over 3 months now. I have a pile nearly as big as my bedside cabinet to read, and told myself not to touch it until I'd cleared the small pile of books that consists of my current to read pile. I'm into the last two...

[Jayaprakash Satyamurthy]

It isn't an easy read; I think you're quite right to say that. Some of it was extremely disturbing and at other times the narrative itself was very dense.


It sort of killed the thrill of reading any other Ripper-based book afterwards - there's something definitive-seeming about Moore's characterisation of the Ripper, above and beyond any particular theory he offers.
