just re read Kick-Ass in a day, surprised how quick I got thru it, not much substance behind it

[ebbsy]

Reading Judge Dredd " Day of Chaos " at the moment - it was a slow burner in parts but by god Wagner is really pulling out all the stops ........

Spoiler:
Are they going to release the Dark Judges as well ????????!!!!!!!!!!!

[CL7]

I'm reading the complete "Maus" atm. It's hard not to get attached to the characters, really moving book.

not a damn. read away!

recently i read Fables deluxe Vol.2 Not as good as the first one, but still loving it.

House of Mystery Vol.6: Safe as Houses. great read, loads of fun and keeps you guessing.

All Star Superman. it was okay, nowhere close to what the hype is though.

Currently, i'm reading The Starman Omnibus Vol.2 Simply brilliant!

Nah. Not at all!

Currently reading the complete King City by Brandon Graham (currently writing Prophet for Image) which is excellent!

I really should post with the stuff I've been reading the last while, but King City is fantastic. I don't have words for just how great it is. Considering I've been cutting down on my comics reading this year, it's been a good year so far between King City finally getting a collected edition and me finally discovering the Finder Library collections.

Glad someone else has read this! Had never really heard of it before, then saw the first Library edition for cheap and picked it up...and couldn't put it down! When pressed, I can't really describe what its all about, you just have to read it I think! Also, it was great having the writers "commentary" in the back to flesh out all the background stuff.

I'm delighted that "Castle Waiting" seems to be getting a real ending finally. Another series where not much happens, seemingly, but its all about the atmosphere and the relationships the characters have with each other.

Yeah, I had heard of it ages ago (I think Warren Ellis raved about it a few times, for example) but it wasn't until I started picking up Dark Horse Presents and got to read a few of the standalone stories that it occurred to me to look for the previous material. It's really good, too, a great mix of tribal-futuristic sci-fi and deft character-driven storytelling - if it wasn't a direct influence on Transmetropolitan then it's fair to say both of them share at least some influences.

I haven't picked up the second Library volume yet but I expect to change that within the next month or two.

Just finished Spider-Man: Spider-Island last night. Really enjoyed it. Would have liked to have seen more superheroes and bad guys using both their own powers and spider powers though, like let's say The Thing used a web to pull someone towards him and hit them.

Overall though, thought it was a great read. And I love the new Madame Web

I read the first Finder collection a while back. Pretty big book - it does have an introduction by Warren Ellis - I initially found it a bit of a slog to get through. I guess it thought it would be more sci-fi. But by the end of it I really did like it. The second volume is waiting to be read now.

I really should post with the stuff I've been reading the last while, but King City is fantastic. I don't have words for just how great it is.

I'm about half way through now and loving it, that cat is amazing!

I'd highly recommend Graham's new Image series Prophet if you like King City/Finder/Moebius stuff. Also, James Stokoe's Orc Stain is fantastic too.

Have never really been into comics, but someone got me to start reading Transmetropolitan and I am really loving it.

Almost finished it now, any recommendations for anything similar? Have literally no idea what else is out there....

[F.Castle]

Just finished Crossed by G Ennis. Very dark but well worth the read.

Regular stuff ongoing from DC new 52:
Batman (really enjoying the night of owls crossover)
Animal man
Aquaman
Detective comics
Action comics
Swamp Thing
The Flash
Superman


Of course The Punisher

If it's sci-fi with a humorous bent you're after, try Finder or King City (both mentioned above). You could also try some of Ellis' other sci-fi work like Ocean.
