Y: The Last Man v.9-10 by Brian K. Vaughan
The Question: Zen & Violence by Dennis O'Neil
DC: The New Frontier by Darwyn Cooke
Ex Machina v.5-6 by Brian K. Vaughan
Devi v.2-4 by Shekhar Kapur

[JLBats]

I recently read "I Married a Communist" by Phillip Roth. The first two times I got deathly bored and stopped reading, then later came back to it and started over from the beginning.

Despite the tedium of the reading process, that was probably the most rewarding thing I ever read. The last two pages made me feel like I was actually experiencing that transcendent "art taking you to a place emotionally that you didn't expect to go" thing.
