So, who here is a comic book or graphic novel reader?
I'm just finishing up Preacher, which is fantastic. I'm halfway into The Watchmen, Black Hole, Tomie, and a few others. |

QUOTE(yrrnotelekktric @ Mar 5 2008, 07:25 PM)  runaways! I'm just getting ready to read this (if not only because six of the title issues were written by Joss Whedon, ahh ha). How is it? QUOTE(xquizit @ Mar 6 2008, 01:24 PM) Does anyone have any recommendations for "indie" style graphic novels... I just recently read I Never Loved You by Chester Brown. It actually really effected me. It's minimalist. I think a few pages were entirely blank, and several featured only a single black and white panel. It's an auto-biographical re-visiting of the author's childhood (leading up to the end of high school). Sort of strange, very subtle, very relatable (especially for a growing boy who sometimes suspects he's a bit sociopathic), sort of haunting, and even touching. Find the book and read it in one sitting (not hard, and not something you would regret). |
