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. |

I just finished Black Hole and Shortcomings (Adrian Tomine). Does anyone have any recommendations for "indie" style graphic novels... similar to Alex Robinson, Adrian Tomine, Daniel Clowes work?

Not familiar with those artists, but I highly recommend Koren Shadmi's In the Flesh or anything from Jason. Late to jump into the Preacher love, but count me in that! Not to be a pest, but I thought that Vertigo was owned by DC? They simply pushed "mature" comics under that label, right? I can't believe that Y: The Last Man has yet to be mentioned... I feel like an awful BTVS fan, but I still need to catch up on season eight. I think that I stopped reading (granted, the comics are collecting dust) around the time Twilight's identity was revealed. I'm also very hooked on Chew at the moment. Rob Guillory's art is out of this world! |

Holy crap. So freaking good. While the chances of me having a kid are extremely rare, I'd have to say that I'm fairly intent on naming my child Yorick haha. Eeeek, the only Batman comic I've read was The Killing Joke, and that was because Alan Moore penned it.
