Thank you, I love bill but who can resist a chain smoking baby than looks like something out of an alan bennett play

So, a couple things I'm thinking of getting and I'd like some input.

First off, the new mini Annilation.(sp?) I don't really know much about it, so what is it and is it good?

And second, Superman: For Tomorrow. I've heard mixed reviews, looks like it'd be a good read.

 

[BAH HUMBBUG!]

Hey Peck, not sure if you reccommended it to me a while back when I asked, but I finally got it. The Coffin is a great read for anyone looking for a good story.

 

[Elijya]

yeah, I did write ups for a couple of Phil Hesters books awhile back. Try out The Wretch or Deep Sleeper next!

I need a list of essential trades I might not have heard of. Ones that are in print. Independent, Image, Vertigo, Marvel. Something new to read, so I won't feel bad about letting go of my money. haha

Based on the stuff I've seen you list as liking in the past may I recomend

I know I have a tendency to obsess over this book but it really is that damn good. It's like the velvet underground. Very few people have actually read it cover to cover but everyone who has becomes a dedicated follower of the book and it's message. In short

BUY THIS BOOK!

it's awesome

Elijya, know of any good religion-themed comics. I'm reading battle pope, I've read midnight nation and preacher. I'm reading all the virgin books. Any others of note?

 

[Marc]

The Lucifer series can't get more religious.

 

[The Question]

Rex Mundi's about a murder mystery in the catholic church in 1933. Or, an alternate 1933 where the prodistant reform never happened and the Vatican retained an enormous amount of political influence.

I don't remember if I've mentioned it in this thread before but Technopriests is a very cool series published by Humanoids.

Chosen by Mark Millar is quite good.

American Virgin, Chosen, Testament

 

[Darthphere]

Yummy.

 

[GNR]

Chosen by Mark Millar is quite good.

Yea,I got the original 3 issues for a good 8 bucks.Loved it.Watch out for the sequel,"American Jesus".

 

[KingOfDreams]

Testament

I second this.

 

[The Hero]

Has anyone read Unstable Molecules? I remember it being announced a couple of years ago,but I don't remember hearing anything else about it...

 

[GNR]

Justice League

another one worth mentioning is JLA: Year One. While not an overly complicated story, this 12 issues mini series goes into the formation, and the Heart of the group. Before Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman joined the team, the Justice League was just five people trying to find their places in the world, and decided to do it together. But first they must learn to trust one another. By Mark Waid

Friggin' amazing.Great description too Eli.

Yo you salty ass *****s, YA YOU KNOW WHO I'M TALK TO, YOU!!! Give me the 411 on the latest and baddest TPBs/HCs, that's right I'm talking about storylines I'd have missed in the last 2 years... In the last two years I picked up a lot of the Countdown to INfinite Crisis TPBs, should I pick up Infinite Crisis? Should I pick up Green Lantern: Recharge? Or Green ARrow: Headlights? I'm def. picking up New X-Men Omnibus! Along with Peter David Hulk Visionaries Vol.2, Y: The Last Man VOl. 2, Swamp Thing Vol. 6, and Punisher Welcome Back FRank HC! Anything else I should be on the look-out for.

 

[GNR]
