After reading some of the comments on the latest instance of North Korea's insanity, I began thinking, "Is it ever right to launch nukes first?". I'm still not sure what my answer is, so I thought I would see what everyone here had to say on the matter. Also, please don't just give an answer...

I am so glad that Let the Right One In was not included. I sat through the whole thing and was shocked at how bad it was. That movie was one of the biggest hype-reality differences I have ever seen. It was just a dull, bland movie with nothing memorable. Edit: Could someone please just...

Thanks for clearing that up. Are you talking about the novel Halo: The Fall of Reach (if so, I agree, it is excellent)? I've never heard of a graphic novel of it. I have read the Halo Graphic Novel, if that's what you mean.

SPOILER ALERT: Yeah, I remember liking that series, but I think it should have ended when he was shot instead of coming up with some excuse to continue turning a profit. I liked that, for once, a still-lucrative series had a sudden, yet realistic, ending. Edit: By the way, how do you...

Thanks for that. I'll keep it in mind for the future.

Thank you for the suggestions. Is the Force Unleashed comic's plot taken straight from the game?

Thanks for the ideas. By the way, I have read the novel Battle Royale. Is there a comic adaptation, was the comic the original, or are they entirely unrelated to each other?

Definitely World War Z and The Zombie Survival Guide. Both are zombie books by Max Brooks (rhyme not intended), but each one takes a completely different approach to zombies. World War Z is particularly good, one of my favorite books. Watchmen is great, and it's take on the superhero genre is...

I'll add those to my list. I thought Wanted was worth a rental though, and Kick-Ass was hilarious! I have heard that the movie version of Wanted changed quite a bit from the graphic novel, and I have also heard that Kick-Ass was changed thematically. Either way, I've heard good things about...

Thanks for the suggestions. I'll be sure to check those out. Not sure how soon though, as I have no money at the moment. Anything else I should take a look at?

Looking back at my post, I see that it was too harsh. I'm sorry, and I really don't think you're a moron. I see what you meant now, I just wanted to make sure that people weren't making things up. I was reading a message board argument on another site and was frustrated by the idiocy of some...

It's amazing how fast people forget that not doing a simple google search before posting nonsense in the guise of fact can make them look foolish: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allied_invasion_of_Italy

That painting is amazingly beautiful. What is it called? Edit: I just realized I double posted. Sorry about that. For future reference, how do you add a quote when editing your post?

I was never interested much in comics, but decided to read Watchmen in preparation for the movie. I loved it, but have yet to read any other graphic novels. If anyone could recommend some, I would appreciate it. I am not looking for a whole comic book series or serialized story arc. I...
