Next time dont stop yourself...you wont regret it

 

[Comics N' Toons]

I guess I always wished V didn't die... I mean call me stoopid, but I really like ongoing stories w/ great characters & V dies so...

 

[Sparta*]

Yeah but V dying and not being in anything else makes the story that much more epic as a whole.

 

[Comics N' Toons]

i see your point

 

[Comics N' Toons]

i just got strange apparitions... i would say that apart from denny oneil, it is the arc/ group of stories that has made Batman what he is... I love it!

One of th best IMO, a lotta folks don't like it cuz' they claim it's dated or something, but it is what makes Batman who he is.

 

[Dark Victory]

Just got Y: The Last Man Vol. 7. Still amazing.

Also got Ultimate Spiderman Vol. 14. The series has gone down a few notches since the Carnage tpb. Still good though.

 

[The Jester]

Anyone hear read Neverwhere?

I have just begun to read it.

 

[Manic]

I certainly enjoyed the Neverwhere comic more than the DVDs. And it's the exact same story.

I have. The novel is better. You should read that first, then the comic as a companion piece.

NOVEL. SO much better.

 

[Odin's Fury]

Finally picked up V For Vendetta. I'm only at the part where V sneaks into the TV station but still a ******* amazing book.

You mean the radio station?

That was the movie.

 

[WallCrawl]

NOVEL. SO much better.

Indeed. I picked up the TPB just out of curiosity. It was interesting to see some of the characters like the Marquis illustrated, but on the whole really paled in comparison. You're really doing yourself a disservice if you don't read the novel first.

When I heard that it was being released, I got rather excited, until I realized Neil Gaiman had nothing to do with it.

Since then I have tried to forget it's existence.

I bought The Justice Society Returns.

It's one of those books that has been sitting on my Amazon wishlist for ages but I've always put it off because there are always more "important" books i feel I should read but I'm glad I decided to get it.

It's nothing ground breaking but you can see how this grew into the modern JSA series and here you get James Robinson, Mark Waid, Ron Marz and Geoff Johns writing a Golden Age tale all set in the late 40s. It's laid out a bit like Seven Soldiers an opening and a closing book and 5 one shots inbetween and is basically the writers exploring these Golden Age characters again after what was a long time in limbo.

It's really good fun, and really with this and Golden Age it's the most DC have spent in that time period - more than anything it made me wish that writers took more time to tell stories set in the 40s because there is so much that can be done with these guys.

It also really made me realize how much the new Justice Society of America book is lacking compared to JSA and I hope Johns can take a step back and see that this books strength was it's link to the past and not it's link to alternative worlds.

Anyone who loved JSA will enjoy this and I'm sure you can pick it up for a very small price.

Also kind of fun Chris Weston actually provides art for the Sandman/Sandy and Star-Spangled Kid/Stripesy story with him now doing the Twelve it's like he is a perfect fit for the Golden Age.
