would rather buy it 1-2 issues at a time, to see whether or not I'll actually enjoy it (the concept is appealing at least, dunno about execution). But thanks, I didn't even think to look on amazon lol

It starts out interesting, but it ends up not really having any focus and devolves into a really shallow plot. Also that book Karth linked doesn't include the last two issues. |

I hit the jackpot at the book store. New Jack and Fables went straight comedy for the most part for the crossover and dear lord I haven't laughed so hard at a comic book in ever.
Also finally got to see what the fuss was about with Heavy Liquid by Paul Pope. It's a solid cyber punk story but the art is amazing. Like absolutely jaw dropping amazing. Every panel could be framed. Any artists here that are interested in modern and comic book art should check it out. |

Just read the first issue of this
and so far it's pretty good. It's a french comic about a cool assassin dude. Also reading this Really liking the art style and premise. Basically about an immortal dude who travels through time to save the human race.

Oh hi this thread.
Can anyone recommend a badass/fun to read graphic novel for me? I'd prefer if it came in an anthology so I don't have to buy a million tiny books, I really liked Watchmen, Sin City, and 300. Never bothered to go out and look for other comics, so recommendations appreciated thanks. |

I need to finish Y and catch up on Ex Machina :-\ Also the Walking Dead is p great if you like zombie movies. And if you don't mind being left hanging there was an amazing comic called Gotham Central that got canceled because one of the creators got a better offer and the comic was never really popular during its run. It's a procedural crime story based in Batman's Gotham, which is amazing because it really explores the everyman versus the impossible (supervillains). If you read it and then re-watch The Dark Knight I'm convinced it borrowed heavily from that series. There was one part in the movie I just knew something was going to happen that didn't because everything looked exactly how I remembered it from the comic. There were two really stand out arcs that everyone should read, one features the joker and the other two-face. |

[/quote] Criminal is the single greatest series of the last ten years. Hand down, not one better. Well, the last series, Sinners, wasn't 100% great, but the first four (Coward, Lawless, The Dead and The Dying, (my favorite) Bad Night) are pitch perfect noir tone. |
