Title: Johnny the Homicidal Maniac
Writer/Artist: Jhonen Vasquez
Publisher: Slave Labor Graphics
Summary: In the mood for graphic, so gory you'll have to read it with a vomit bucket handy, comics? Then this is the book for you. JTHM is Jhonen Vasquez's hilarious comic about, well, a homicidal maniac named Johnny (NNY to his friends) silly. We follow the exploits of this insane murderer as he slices and dices his neighbors, people on the street, convenience store clerks, grandmothers, you name it. Now, don't get me wrong, there's more to the book than the ultra violence. Theres lessons to be learned here. Like tolerance of others, and how full of crap a lot of people can be, and don't listen to Pillsbury dough boys that tell you to kill people and paint a wall in your house with their blood. This book will crawl up through your eyes and sodomize your brain with a rusty meat cleaver. A must read for everybody. (Mature readers only.)

[Darthphere]

You know, I never was able to get into JTHM, it was alright, but nothing id go crazy over.

 

[Anubis]

Really? I loved it. From the sad pathetic life of Squee, to the insane adventures of Noodle boy. It was crazy.

 

[JewishHobbit]

Awsome! I didnt' think I'd even come close! I wanted to do more, but with my home circumstances and all that, I just wasn't able to.

This is like a buffet! I have a list of about 20 that I have to narrow down. I'll have to take a little time to think about it. Also, are Jake and I allowed to pick one from the link, or just the posted selections? (I know that it's just 1 trade for each of us, but can we pick it from either list?)

 

[JewishHobbit]

This book will crawl up through your eyes and sodomize your brain with a rusty meat cleaver.

Greatest description ever.

I love that apparently someone at Nickelodeon read this and said "You know what? We should get this guy to do a cartoon for us for us!"

 

[The Question]

And he did. And it was gopod. All praise Zim.

I see. Hmm, then it's down to Invincible or Thing. Also, the Spiderman/Human Torch... that's Digest right? And Thing... is that only the first 6 issues as Amazon states, or the whole series (8 issues?), as I've read elsewhere?

Amazon has it as 6 issues but really, I see that changing soon.

Title: JSA: Goldenage
Writer/Artist: James Robinson/Paul Smith
Publisher: DC Comics
Summary: It's the end of WWII. The men are back from the front and America is starting to go back to normal. The time of the costumed do-gooders seems to be on it's last legs. But, there's something going on in Washington. The Red Scare is in full effect and Washington, looking to eliminate the subversive element from the country, turns to one man to save them. A hero of WWII. The Americommando. Back from the war after taking out some of the third Reich's most fearsome superheroes and even the Fuhrer himself. He has plans for America, and it's superheroes. But are those plans for the betterment of the USA? Or is it for something far more sinister? We follow retired heros Johnny Quick, Green Lantern Alan Scott, Hourman Rex Tyler, and others as they try to get used to the changing world they find themselves in, and come face to face with the Americommando's plan for the superpowers of the United States. James Robinson puts together an incredible tale with twist and turns, that will blow your mind. Ending in a massive battle that goes down as one of the best in comic book history.
