Yeah, I've been waiting for it pretty much since it was announced. Seems like it's been quite awhile now.

I, Zombie sounds interesting. As bored as I am of zombie stuff in general, it's always nice to see a new take on the subgenre. Sort of a zombie/vampire combo in this case, which could be cool. Plus, you know, Allred.
In other news, I saw Joe the Barbarian #2 at my shop this week, so I asked my shop owner to put it in my file and re-order a copy of #1, which I missed. Hopefully it comes in next week, but who knows?

I hate waiting for trades, both literally and in principle.

Yeah, I picked up the first issue, but Morrison is further appreciated in collected form

I finished reading all of Lucifer recently and loved every bit of it. Great ending for the character.

Could be nothing, of course. But I like a bit of fear-mongering in the morning.

Morrison's Doom Patrol is an awesome headtrip,Brian Wood's Northlander is really good, and Jason Aaron's Scalped is one of the most well rounded books out right now and is one of my favorite reads. I read the trades, the story unfolds a lot better that way.

Cool, Ireally liked "Gravel in Your Guts" cuz it was giving us back story to some of the players. Can't wait for vol#6. Jason Aaron has a long and bright future, in my reading habits anyway!

I have an article up on Comic Book Resources! It's about Scalped, challenging some accusations of racism and negative stereotyping of Native Americans that have been raised against it. Check it out!

I don't read Scalped, so I don't really know anything about the subject, but congratulations, none-the-less
http://www.comicbookresources.com/?p...ticle&id=25285 Interview with Wagner about Madame Xanadu. The next arc will be six-part and focused on the five regular senses and an extra sense that Madame Xanadu possesses. They will each have a different female guest artist, so no Hadley (which makes me sad ![]() ![]() Oh, and J'onn shows up again next issue, maybe we'll even see a peek at his Martian form ![]()

I regret dropping Madame Xanadu. I've picked it back up again, and I'm looking forward to seeing all the different artists getting a shot at it. Plus, it sounds like the kind of thing that could possibly attract more female readers, if it gets enough attention, so that's always good.
I'm still buying: Unknown Soldier - It's been a great series. If I had to drop all 20+ titles I'm buying right now except for one, then this is the one I'd hold onto. Unfortunately, it's not very popular. Maybe he should've given him a cape or something (kidding). Joe The Barbarian - I like it so far, but I have some issues with the pacing of the storyline. The artwork just sucks me in, though. Hanging on for the moment. DMZ - I'll have to catch up on reading this when I've finished relocating and have all of my comics and stuff. Past readings were intense and thought-provoking, so I'm eager to get back into it. Unwritten - Just picked this up, and haven't gotten around to reading it yet. I will most definitely have to catch up on some back issues as soon as I get out to Cali. |

I regret dropping Northlanders, but it's on like part 5 of an 8-part arc right now, so I gotta wait until they start a new one to pick it back up.

Finally a freakin' Vertigo thread!
I have not seen any Sweeth Tooth talk around here. Anybody here reading Sweet Tooth? Awesome stuff right there. It's so dark and depressing. So, if you're looking for a dark story go with that one! Fables is, as usual, always pretty solid. Joe the Barbarian: The first issue really sucked me in. The second issue had me thinking, "Oh, man I should have gotten this in trade". After reading # 3 it got me right back into it and, damn, what a story I think this is gonna turn out to be. The art is absolutely amazing too. I just stare at the pages admiring it before I even start reading. Unwritten: I just got into this series after listening to Comic Geek Speak's Book of the Month club. Once they described the premise of the book I jumped on the first trade. I'm almost caught up to the current issue # 11 now. It's a solid story. The first few issues in the trade had me almost ready to put it dow and regretting the purchase but in about issue # 4 the story really got going. This series is great! Scalped: Damn this is a great book. Unfortunately I am really behind on this, like two trades behind, but I hope to get caught up in the coming months. That's all the current Vertigo series that I read. I've been meaning to give House of Mystery a try because I've been hearing really good things about it.

I follow Unknown Soldier and Madame Xanadu religiously. Some of the best stories I've read from DC.
I read all of DMZ, and I don't know if I like the current direction. Going to give it to the next arc to see what happens. But at least the art has been good. Read all of 100 Bullets but the last 2 arcs were just pure disappointment. Such a great buildup. Shame. Read the first few years of Hellblazer and it was enjoyable but at times felt too longwinded. Will have get back into that soon. I will read the Unwritten soon enough. Same with Fables and JoF. And eventually Sandman. But first I need to finish all the Milestone comics (am I glad those are being collected). I have the first 2 deluxe volumes of Y: The Last Man, and will be getting both volumes of Preacher sometime in the future. So yeah, I enjoy a good handful of titles and plan on getting into some more.

![]() ![]() What is metal? I'm guessing it has something to do with Northlanders.

Some I, Zombie stuff. Little bit of a preview, with some pages, and talks with Roberson. Sounds like they have an insane world to unleash with this one

My library got a copy of The Unwritten's first trade, so I checked it out and read it. Pretty good. I'm gonna give the series a try.

The series only gets better from there. That issue with Kipling is still my favorite, but the overall story improves past that, I think.

That issue better win the Eisner. Although, I don't how much merit the Eisners have anymore after seeing the best writer category.
