Did you mean to post that in this thread, Toddson?

Achewood, Chris Onstad

Is honest to doggy my favourite thing ever.

All-Star Superman, Grant Morrison & Frank Quitely

Yeah, okay, don't know if it would be on any top ten type lists of mine.

Black Hole

I bought this for a friend's birthday, read it quickly before I wrapped it, and should probably go back and read it again. Also, be a less crappy present giver.

Blankets, Craig Thompson

And apparently that's a a habit of mine because I did exactly the same thing with this. Oops. Also on I should read again.

DC: The New Frontier, Darwyn Cooke

I really enjoyed this.

Eightball #23 (“The Death Ray”), Daniel Clowes

Yup.

The Goon, Eric Powell

Meh.

Persepolis, Marjane Satrapi

I was put off reading this for ages because of all the hype, but I loved it. I've read it four or five times in the last few months. Still haven't watched the film though.

Promethea, Alan Moore & J.H. Williams III

I really was not a huge fan of this. If they wanted an Alan Moore on the list why not The Black Dossier?

Y: The Last Man, Brian K. Vaughan

I was so invested in this that I'm still dealing with the trauma of the ending.

The others I haven't read, but I'm totes putting them on my Christmas list.

Like P-C, the absence of Powers seems weird to me.

I guess they picked Daredevil for their Bendis. Which I'm okay with, as it shows that you can be list-worthy even writing a mainstream title.

---

I've gotten yet another person hooked on Firefly, and his comment was "Jayne Cobb and Titus Pullo should open a bar together."

---

Black Hole is great. Loved it a lot. When did Epileptic come out? It is also brilliant. Y is best though!

---

Has anyone read Chew ? The first trade comes out tomorrow and I'm going to pick it up. A co-worker recommended it to me, and it sounds pretty interesting and entertaining.

True Stories of the 'Core Marvel Universe':

In the Marvel Universe, Thor -- the literal Norse god of Thunder -- was turned into a frog for three issues, including one where his magic hammer turned him into a 6'6" frog-man (er, frog-god), which had the side effect of chipping his hammer so that another frog (who had once been a man before he was cursed by a fortune-teller) could turn into a normal-sized frog-god, which came in handy when he had to team up with a teleporting dog and a sabretooth tiger to get magic gems back from an alien from Jupiter's moon who was in love with the living embodiment of Death.

Well, yeah, but that was a great Walt Simonson story.

I have no idea why comics got such a bad rap.

I picked up the first Chew trade, and it's good stuff. I recommend it.
