final crisis - rogues revenge

Finished Wanted a couple days ago...really enjoyed it.

I think I'll wait for DVD on the movie version though.

Marvel Zombies vs Army of Darkness.

The Incredible Hulk: Prelude To Planet Hulk.

Kick-Ass

it truly lives up to the name, good times.

Catwoman: When In Rome.

I just [finally!] started on The Walking Dead. Pretty fucking awesome stuff.

Once I catch up to issue #51 I think I'll read Dynamite's Evil Dead stuff.

I am reading the xfiles movie comic and marvel zombies VS army of darkness

Batman: Confidential #1 - Rules of Engagement Part One.

Not sure how many of you have read this series, but I recommend it. I have completed this first one and its pretty impressive.

How is that? I've heard good things.

I liked it a lot, definately worth a read.

Right now I'm reading Batman: Dark Victory.

Definitely worth the read.

Nova














......

Bone !


cant wait for the last 2 volumes

Finished up the 3rd arc of "The Walking Dead" and decided to give it a bit of a break.

Just acquired the 4 issue mini-series of "Halloween: Nightdance" so I'm moving onto that. Hope it's solid.

Hellboy: Wake the Devil

Next up is either The Chained Coffin, or I might take a break from Hellboy and start Dark Victory. Depends on how Wake the Devil ends, I suppose.

Still on the Batman Confidential series.

Anyone know how many there are? I have the first 21.

I'm reading The Watchmen at the moment. It's quite incredible. I'm only recently getting into different comics after only really knowing Sandman in any depth.

I've got a few others winging their way to me in the post: V for Vendetta, Fables 1, Priest 1, The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen 1 annnnd another one I can't remember. Oh, and the Spider-Man fairy tales.

As well as those, a few on writing for the graphic novel medium. An artist friend and I have had aspirations for many years about creating our own comic and it's only now that I'm finally starting to get ideas.

This became a bit irrelevant, sorry - excitement.

Watchmen = intensely wonderful.

All of those are good, though I think Fables isn't as strong on plot as it is on characterization.

Mmm. I finished Watchmen and it was fantastic.

Today I read Priest 1. Really wasn't impressed. At all. Which sucks, because I paid for it, damn it!

And I really love zombies, too. It was just so thin on story. I really don't care to find out what happens in future volumes at all.

I'm reading Pride of Baghdad again, and it' just as good as the last time.

I really should pick that one up....sounds incredible.

I havent read a comic in years, but my wife brought home a copy of Iron Man: Armor Wars, so I am reading that. pretty damn cool so far.

Drifting Classroom, by Kazuo Umezu, Vols. 9-11 – The concluding volumes to this crazy 70s SF/horror series. A little bit of an unsatisfying ending, but also pleasing downbeat and unresolved. Worth every volume.

The Dreaming Vol. 3, by Queenie Chan – A slightly disappointing ending to a promising series. The mysteries are revealed, and they’re decently good, but the process of getting them is a little bumpy.

C'mon - no one read any comics in the last week?

I read: Blue, by Elizabeth Genco and Sami Makkonen – a retelling of the Bluebeard fairy tale, set in modern days, among musicians and a woman who can turn into animals. Very good story, and terrific art. Worth checking out if you like fairy tales, especially in modern contexts.

Batman: Absolution.

Grendel: Red, White and Black

I'm intrigued by anything with the title Grendel. Is the comic any good?

That reminds me - I need to finish up your book (believe me - it's only taking me forever because I have reading ADD; I'm enjoying it quite a bit. It's not you, it's me :p ).

...

I'm making my way through The Walking Dead anthologies that my boyfriend picked up last weekend (he already polished off the first 8).

I'm currently on The Walking Dead Volume 2: Miles Behind Us

http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/...BL._SS500_.jpg

The series is ok so far... Dunno. It definitely a bit more of a soap opera than a horror comic series... I hope that it gets a bit darker.

Anyone read The Walking Dead? Thoughts? Opinions?

From the Grendel stuff I've read, it's really cool. It doesn't involve Beowulf directly, far as I know, but it is about the devil's assassin doing battle with a werewolf, so the allegory is kind of there.

Just finished two graphic novels: Watchmen (had to read it before the film was released), and Wanted. Loved the artwork on Wanted, and Watchmen reminded me of my youth. Still haven't read V for Vendetta . . . no, really!

I was seriously considering buying the consolidated graphic Watchmen the other day, but I couldn't get over the price tag.
I definitely have to read it through before I see the movie.

BTW: Welcome to HDC:cool:

All Star Batman And Robin Volume One.

Mine was actually a birthday present from my son. "Wanted" was £2 off from Waterstones.

I need to read The Watchmen. Need to read it BADLY (especially before the movie comes out).

Just finished Vol. 8 of The Walking Dead. And, well, as insipid as the writing is, I'm honestly looking forward to Vol. 9. I wouldn't necessarily recommend the collection to a horror fan (because it's SERIOUSLY a soap opera, which just doesn't make sense to me... you have ZOMBIES and you focus on the DRAMA?!), but he had to get SOMEthing right... Else I would have put it down.

Clerks (The Comic Book).

DMZ, Vol. 5: The Hidden War, by Wood et al. – A series of single-issue vignettes about second-tier DMZ characters. Normally the kind of thing I’d really like, but this didn’t connect with me. Not entirely sure why.

The Mammoth Book of Best Horror Comics – A nice idea, but disappointing. Few of the modern comics were very good and it totally lacked EC, Marvel, and DC comics (for licensing reasons, I’d bet), which are some of the best and most important horror comics of the 50s and 70s.

Sam

bump..............

The Book of Leviathan

It's like a pretentious Dada Calvin and Hobbes, but I ended up really liking. Poetic, high concept, sorta dull, but at the same time innovative and exciting. A cool surprise for people who don't mind weird, lit ficky comics and want something more creative than the latest Daniel Clowes suicide rant.

Batman: Haunted Knight.

Monster, Vols. 12-14 by Naoki Urasawa – Things are really getting interesting on a thematic/philosophical level, as the story begins to focus question of identity, history, the importance of names, etc. These three books show manga at a very interesting point – not much happens, and the villain hardly appears, for nearly 500 pages, yet the books are still engaging.
