Yep! Currently a fan of Kia Asimaya's Dark Angel series, and also following a variety of other serialised ones such as the Fushigi Yuugi mangaka, Yoshiyuki Sadamoto's Evangelion serialisation, and anything done by Mamoru Shirow

In terms of western stuff, J Michael Straczynski's Fallen Angels is superb, even if it IS a bit difficult to find

Comics do rock various parts of my anatomy. Currently reading 100 Bullets, Transmetropolitan etc. Although i miss Preacher, it made me go a big rubbery one. Someone recommended a series called Torso to me as well, which i must check out..

Preacher, V for vendetta and Watchmen are the only ones I've read. All brilliant.

DeVore

I've go on at length about V for Vendetta on these boards (probably the greatest graphic novel I've read or heard of).

However I have read a lot of others too. Currently I'm reading Usagi Yojimbo and if you haven't heard of it, get a copy its a bloody good read as well as an entertaining one.

Batman forever!

Death to all pretenders...

Some Sandman stuff.
Aliens and Predator stuff, pretty cool.
A few other old crappy things.

And this bizare comic called "Lenore" that I'm trying to get ahold of every issue of...
It's a sick twisted blackly funny collection of little stories...

"Childhood Memories." - When I was young I nailed my hand to my knee...
I walked funny after that...

Really sickeningly funny...

Manach

I read the excellent "Dark Knight Returns" earlier this year - get it if you can. I also read some Sin City stuff.
All done by a guy called Miller (I think his first name was Frank). Well good - I loved the Dark Knight one - (a quite elderly) Batman takes on Superman and, well, I won't spoil it - a great scrap!
It also reminded me of an episode of the Batman Beyond cartoon where old Batman was wearing the same powered suit he used to fight Superman. Continuity baby - I love it!

All the best!
