nah, i'm always hesitant on new properties and characters cause it's a whole money/space investment thing. I know I'll like it cause I love Straczynski, but that's exactly why I'm hesitant.as far as indie stuff I really really really really really likeGrant Morrison's "The Invisibles" (which is already completed actually)Brian K. Vaughn's "Y: The Last Man" (two issues away from being completed)and Robert Kirkman's "The Walking Dead"(Kirkman plans on writing this as long as humanly possible)all of them are amazing amazing amazing fucking books. all 3 are addictive ass drugs for me.I've heard good things about 100 Bullets. That same creative team that does 100 Bullets did a Batman story called "Broken City" awhile back that got a good amount of acclaim. Since I already like Batman alot, I think I'll pick that story up someday and if I really like it I'll give 100 Bullets a chance.-T
i'll probably just cop them in trade after i cop broken city.thanks for the suggestion man.if you get a chance to read invisibles, walking dead, or Y, then do so. won't be disappointed.invisibles is like an amazing counter-cultural manifesto...pink floyd,one world government/orwellian big brother is watching you type conspiracies, 2012, the beatles, hallucinogens, everything a seeker/counterculturalist could hope for. it feels more important and relevant every trade I readwalking dead is the ultimate zombie movie. follows a group of survivors post zombie holocaust for as long as possible. so damn realistic. what's scarier than the zombies is what such a desperate situation provokes humans to do.Y: the last man is about a man and his monkey being the last males on earth after a plague wipes out all carriers of the Y chromosome. it's an action/mystery revolving around where the plague came from and why this man and his monkey survived. makes alot of great commentary about society and gender issues and it's abolutely hilarious. also alot of beatles references.what is 100 bullet's premise?-T
Grant Morrison's X-Men run is my favorite x men story ever. though I haven't read nearly as much x men as I have some other characters(also have yet to read all of chris claremont's x-men). His current superman story isn't a mini, it's an ongoing but it's bi-monthly because Frank quitely is very slow(i love his work though). I don't read it though cause I don't like superman unless he's in context with other characters like Batman mainly.If you liked new x men, get Joss whedon/John cassady's astonishing x-men. it picks up right where Morrison's new x men left off, but it's still it's own awesome thing. Highly recommended.read Y from the beginning, you won't regret it.and Kirkman is the next big thing, trust me. in indie AND mainstream comics. once you read some of his work (especially his post-05 work) you'll see why he's one of those writers you want to be in on.I actually got to meet him and chat for a bit at san diego comicon as well. super nice and funny guy.-T
i can download it at home now though, but i just don't do my comic reading online. i don't want to have wasted your time in not downloading it but i will probably just cop the trades when i feel like that kind of thing. i appreciate it though.damn you got stracyznski, new x men, invisibles, astonishing, kevin smith's marvel work...you know what the fuck is up man. why aren't you on newsarama and the comicons for that matter? where are you located at ?-T
