People say I should do comics and things because I'm good at art and have a vivid imagination, but I'm not. I'm just a lucky scribbler. |

I like a lot of the Slave Labor comics (Jhonen Vasquez and Roman Dirge). quoting JTHM has got me into trouble several times tho'. hehe. Recently getting into Neil Gaiman's The Sandman. I haven't had a chance to go to the comic shop in so long. i miss it. i always meet interesting geeky people in there. :) |

Was it the one, where he explains his sexual relation to roger rabbit??? Thats great. Anyway, one of my new favourites is someone, who i actually got recommended from this board: Dave Cooper. SExually explicit, funny and great humour. Heres a couple of others Grant Morrison: Invisibles Alan Moore: Everything he ever did Those, "Big bog of..." from paradox. |

I just managed to fet a hold of and read Daniel Clowes's_Like a Velvet Glove Cast in Iron. An amazing indie comic book. David Boring is also a brilliantly realised tale of Clowe's. It's a shame that of all of his work the one that gets made into a film, is his least cinematic work..."Ghost World" |

oh and for manga, i like very much 3x3 Eyes by Yuzo Takada, and Gunnm (it's called "Battle Angel Alita" in some countries)... Love Hina is also very good for cheering up and laughing, even though it is shallow and repetitive (can become boring after a while), it is very nice for entertainment value... :) |

hmmm. comics. yes.... well, for starters, my avatar is from blade of the immortal, which is an excellent manga. jeff smith (bone), quite good. alan moore (watchmen, from hell), also quite good. neil gaiman (sandman, stardust), obviously good. queen and country is an excellent comic coming out of the the "indie" scene. i always enjoyed the old elfquest comics. akira and ghost in the shell are both far superior to their movie adaptations. sadly, comics are dying, and most people, including many working in the industry, fail to understand that comics are not simply a failed combination of film and literature. at their best, they're far better than both, but we rarely see them at their best. the scene right now is basically retarded and dominated by fanboys who completely miss the point of comic books as an art form and obsess over shallow, badly written, poorly drawn spandex comics that had their hayday in frank millers "revival" of the genre. of course now everyone is writing frank miller rip offs, so the original dark knight returns comics sound vacant and unoriginal, which they aren't. too bad really, i suppose its one of the reasons why i'd like to go into comics. changing up the scene would be nice. as for web comics, not enough artists are harnessing the infinite possiblilties of the net. whether they simply don't understand the medium or are too lazy to write anything beyond digital versions of print is up in the air, but very few are producing anything of worth, scott mcloud and his peers being some of the exceptions. |

i used to be really into comics, but not so much anymore - plus i don't have the funds to be into them. but i still have a fairly big collection. Blade of the Immortal - first trade paperback and a few other issues - great manga if you ever get around to reading it. Curse of the Spawn - all 29 issues of the series - it was pretty good when it started, but then it just went downhill during the middle of the series due to poor and lazy writing. The Darkness - issue 1, and 5-12. this was a fantastic series when Garth Ennis was writing for it, but after he left it lost its hold on me. Various Dragonball and Dragonball Z comics. Excalibur - this was the humourous and fantasy alternative to X-Men - it had some great characters, but some of them were rarely used to their full potential - like Nightcrawler - JESUS! I ALWAYS loved him, but instead Captain fucking Britain gets all the attention? Weak. But Kitty Pride and Pheonix II were usually well utilized. Some Ghost Rider comics (series II) somewhere.... Issues 1-7 of Crimson... Some Tank Girl, The Maxx... Omega Men - An old DC series that spun off from Green Lantern. It had a lot of great characters, many of them always developing, and for being a DC comic, it was pretty damn dark, especially after Crisis on Infinite Earths. that's all i can remember right now.. i'll think of what else i have later. |
