Discussion of Buffy and Angel comics, books, and more. Please don't get into spoilery details in the first week of release.
( continues...) copies in the first two months of release!
And Star Wars comics fill out most of the top ten.
TFAW is Dark Horse's preferred on-line retailer, so this doesn't surprise me. The Conan franchise is rolling along, with the new Busiek-Nord series bringing fans back in droves.
Wow, look at that. Automatic post continuation. Huzzah for the programmers!
Welcome back, Jeff. Yeah, the programming staff has been adding all sorts of new superpowers to the board. t Points at "subscribe/unsubscribe" link next to the "threadsuck" link.
Welcome back, Jeff! I was wondering about your whereabouts.
Hi Jeff! I'm so glad to see you back.
I talked with Dana about The Authority last night...now I want to read it. Sigh.
So, JZ got me Jaime Hernandez's Locas the other day (belated xmas present). This is the big hardbound collection of the Maggie and Hope stories.
Now, I have the original issues, but looking at all together like this is absolutely stunning. I hadn't realized how many of his images have been burned into my memory as iconic. It's breathtaking how much great art there is in this book. I mean - I've felt that way looking through Alex Toth collections, but he never did it on one continuing narrative like this. It's a huge, huge achievement.
SA, as far as I'm concerned, "V for Vendetta" is required comics reading. One of the interesting points for me, beside the political philosophy, is the fact that the artist (David "I Make This Look Gooood" Lloyd) and writer (Alan "Godlike Being" Moore) decided to do the entire thing without use of sound effects or thought balloons. Everything is communicated through the art and the dialogue.
Great stuff.
Oh wow, MM. I loved that series but I never noticed the lack of sound effects. The lack of thought baloons might have occurred to me at one point - I really need to go back and re-read that; it's been years.

My bro gave me 2 Love & Rockets TPBs which are still in my to-be-read pile.
Locas is on my wish list, but my kid will probably be in his twenties before I get around to buying it.
