Graphic Novels

The first Nemesis book is definitely worth getting there's some classic stories in there, I've ordered the second one but I think I've only read part of it before.

Nah i can't stand the american/ western graphic novals. Can't stand the art style or the whole superhero cliche that dominates them. Give manga and manwha's anyday.

Have you read 'Miricale man: The golden age' or 'The Yattering and Jack', or 'Maus : a survivor's tale'

Only one of these has any definition of a superhero in it, and that is hardly a cliched one!!

I don't think you were around when Muse was here, let's just say he's long gone.

Can I ask what stuff the rest of you collect, is it just modern day stuff or do any of you collect older stuff?

Strontium Dog book 2 looks excellent and has some epic stories in there, The Killing one of my favourites. The first one doesnt look too bad at all so thats next for me to read.

I agree about The Killing, fantastic story.

Bah, went to the bookshop, no Nemesis

Almost bought Maus again, but £20 is a bit pricey. Ended up just buying the birthday card I needed and grabbed a Star Wars spoof from beside the checkout.

When i was young how i made myself want to love that Quicksilva (What a great retro company) game of Strontium Dog the killing.

Played it tons back in the day , never got past the first level, found the entrance to a new set of levels but could never get there.

I've not checked that game out, I'll look into it some time.

Mainly modern stuff, though it was Batmans 'A Death in the Family' that got me into the scene really.

Will buy pretty much anything with the names Ennis, Ellis, Sale, Kirkman on it.

Agree with you about pretty much anything with the name Ennis and Ellis on it, I like Kirkmans Invincible and Walking Dead and I've got some Sale stuff, Long Halloween, Dark Victory and Superman For All Seasons. I was just wondering if anybody collected older stuff. I've got a fair bit of 60's DC stuff, although I wasn't around back then my uncle has a big collection of 60's stuff and that's what got me interested in comics in the first place.

Anybody going to be watching COMICS BRITANNIA on BBC4, it starts on Monday? There's also JONATHAN ROSS IN SEARCH OF STEVE DITKO on the 16th that may be of interest to some.

I'll see if my freeview picks up that channel when I move.

I like the fact that Marvel and DC have been re-releasing their older stuff in this manner, the Archive and Masterwork editions are great but I think a little on the dear side, unfortunately not being much of a Marvel fan I've only got one Essential collection and that's the Howard The Duck one

I bought the new Vertigo book "Sentences", autobiography of a rapper known as M.F Grimm, reeeeeaaaaaallllly good book if you're into hip hop. He's massive on the underground scene, and this follows him through most of his journey. He's been through a lot.
