I've been reading Watchmen here and there, trying to re-read it before the movie comes out. I forgot how awesome it is.

Strangers in Paradise: Volume 1. I was surprised by how little it sucked.

Just finished Fell: Feral City Volume 1 by Warren Ellis.
I absolutely recommend this graphic novel. It's a series of macabre noir vignettes that take place in Snowtown, the proverbial town across the bridge. At first slightly formulaic and simplistic, Fell: Feral City turns into a pretty compelling series of dark crime stories following Detective Fell who, of course, has his own dark secrets to tell. A quick read coupled with brilliant art by Ben Templesmith, this book is worth picking up. I'm pretty psyched for Volume 2. Some of the art: |

You'd probably like the Cal McDonald/criminal macabre stuff.
Just got through reading my weekly slew of comics...man, DC really has to get over this "crisis" bullshit they keep doing...these crossover events are just long, drawn out, and mainly not worth it.

As far as Fell being simplistic, the art looks like it could help me trudge through a weak beginning fairly easily.

I just did a few Amazon searches on Criminal Macabre and it looks AMAZING (the Dark Horse Comics collection has art by Ben Templesmith too!).
Thanks for the rec - I really want to check it out. Now here's a rather simplistic question... There's so much out there under the Crimial Macabre name... Where do I start? Quote:

Yeah, I think Mark Millar did the title he's referring to...it's pretty good...
The Criminal Macabre stuff... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criminal_Macabre That should help. Also, check out "The Lurkers" you might like that, and "courtney crumrin"
