A series of wierd stories about a crudley drawn little boy in a straightjack, a talking mouse who keeps getting killed and reincarnated as....a mouse again, and just generaly wierd stuff. There is some harsh language in it, just as a warning.


I don't like comics like that. They bother me.
gone for good...

Speaking of Disney, does anyone have any of the Gladstone reprints of the assorted Disney comics from the 30s, 40s, 50s, ect? I have some from several years ago, and they are seriously cool. Last ones I noticed in a comic shop were big, expensive hardbound collecters editions, but if they are still putting out monthy comics and digests, I highly recommend them.

I enjoy the works of Jhonen Velasquez, JtHM, Squee, and I am Sick
Maybe our mistakes are what make our fate. Without them, what would shape our lives? Perhaps if we never veered off course, we wouldn't fall in love, or have babies, or be who we are. After all, seasons change. So do cities. People come into your life and people go. But it's comforting to know the ones you love are always in your heart. And if you're very lucky, a plane ride away.

I just read a short one called "Lyrical Life". A love story told in 200 song lyrics. It's a really creative idea and it hangs together pretty well.

I've been really digging Ultimate Spider-Man lately. I jumped into it in the Carnage story arc and have gone back and read almost everything before that through the goodness of trade paperbacks. God bless paperbacks. Seven comics in one. So awesome. Ultimate Spider-Man is a really good re-telling of the Spider-Man story, only updated for the new millenium. It's amazing. I love the artwork and Brian Michael Bendis is a great writer. Anyone else read this?

yeah, i read'em. They're pretty good, but i was kinda bummed out by the Venom arc. Instead of being a complex dual(cause he's not an "individual"), Bendis made him a slavering lunatic. If you read the hardcover collection you'll see the editor's idea for the story, and it held much more promise than what actually came out.
I like ultimate x-men too...oh, and the Origin (of Wolverine) graphic novel really knocked the socks off me.
And yes, God bless paperbacks...

Yeah, I'd have to agree with that about the Venom arc. However, it was only really disappointing compared to the other Venom stories. On its own, it was really quite good. My favorite story arc in Ultimate Spider-Man would have to be the Black Cat story arc or maybe the Doc Ock stuff. I really liked those. I can't wait to read the Hollywood story arc...it sounds good...

I've been reading Ultimate Spider-Man and X-Men whenever I get the chance, but my favorite series are Daredevil, Batman (et al), and Green Latern.

There is one new series that I can't remember the publisher for that is rather intriguing, called "The Last Minute." This guy finds a watch that both heaven and hell are after, and he is trying to survive. The art is pretty good, though you'll need to watch for some cursing. Also, the demon tends to leave a bloody trail.
