I'm trolling ironically. It's 50% more pretentious than regular trolling and that makes it tastier. MWAHAHAHAHA! No reply can possibly harm my unstoppable ego!!!voorhees123 said:
On topic, I always liked Sandman by Niel Gaimon. And that's about it. Never been a huge fan of comic books.
Your last sentence was meant to be ironic, right?voorhees123 said:
I agree I didn't much care for the squid, but it did allow for a few more clues to be revealed as I recall in the comic, which summed up to a better ending imo. The book was also much better than the movie, I just pity anyone who watched it first then read the book, because I doubt you can still get that sense of uncertainty when reading it.
So if you don't like a genre of music, it is then automatically shit? I have never liked country music but my response is "Eh it's not for me", not "Ahh nobody should listen to this fuckery". Everyone's entitled to their opinions so long as they don't go parading them around as if they're irrefutable facts. On Watchmen specifically, I liked the complete horrifying madness of the squid ending, as well as the film version which kept it simple yet efficient for the plot.voorhees123 said:

I thought the same but decided against pointing it out. Also note that she/he is one more report away from a ban *shockandawe.jpg*Kurokami said:
I know, my brother forced me to finish reading the comic before I was allowed to see the film, and by gum was that a good decision on his part. That uncertainty of not having a clue how it will end is what I loved so much about Watchmen, I can't remember any recent movie that had an ending I didn't see coming 15 minutes into the film.
Garth Ennis run on The Punisher comics. The Max series. Pretty damn good, its mostly silly over the top gore but its got some pretty good story telling and well I get the feeling that Garth knows what hes writing about and understands The Punisher... ... Well I liked them anyway.
I read a fair few of the Spawn comics and I honestly thought the HBO animated series was much better than the comics. I'd honestly recommend that one. That's not to put down the comics, they were pretty good up to where I read. I just though that Spawn was more interesting and complex in the animated series. Though that might have been helped by Keith David voicing him.voorhees123 said:
If you want good non-eastern comics about eastern topics, you'll want to find the odder looking ones- Usagi Yojimbo, and even the first few Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles comics should be cool (Trust me, the TMNT comics are the complete opposite of the cartoons). If you are willing to dip into Manga, check out Lone Wolf and Cub.
If you still wanna read cape comics, try and get short lived stories, a great example and one I highly recommend is Blue Beetle, to be exact Jaime Reyas, the Third Blue Beetle. It may seem daunting that he is a legacy hero, but you don't need much background knowledge to get it all, and it's only 36 issues.
I'd also really recommend Hellboy. There's a lot of material, but it's very easy to get and is well worth the read.

I'm just going to agree with this.Worgen said:
Adventure, romance, MAD SCIENCE!
All this and more, just follow this elegant and finely crafted link.

You're right, the ending was great. I meant more so the uncertainty throughout the book though. Following Rorschach's assassination theory and seeing how vulnerable all the characters are progressing through the book in an extremely dark, brutal world, you are constantly (or I was anyway) uncertain as to whether tragedy will strike and they be killed off. This in contrast to the movie which portrays the characters kicking ass with superhero like strength, you never REALLY worry about them in the movie. Even the bit with Veidt catching the bullet was not really surprising in the movie, though perhaps because the movie referenced it too obviously compared to the comic.
Damn right, Sandman is awesome and the spin offs are amazing, especially any of them that involve Death of the Endless. I honestly thought that I had no interest in comics until I read this. Also check out Neil Gaimans novels if you are looking for something good to read, american gods, neverwhere, stardust and anansi boys, they're golden nuggets in a sea of shite/dan brown books.Genericjim101 said:
P.s I have always been slightly unsettled by how attractive Death is, she is the grim reaper... but... I definetly would. Ahem, (cough)... any man who says otherwise is full of it.
I recomend Priest, is a corean comic set in the Old West about a guy who hunts deamons and stuf.
Its really cool
Its really cool
I a huge sucker for Batman, and while there is a big continuity but y;ou don't really need it for the greats I would recommend Hush and Year One, also Watchmen
Don't worry I share the same view but Delirium has her moments http://tjscomics.com/publishers/dccvertigo/delirium_terrymoore_520pixh_96ppi.jpgdeckpunk said:
And sorry but I have to state this out of gratitude to those who gifted me with them I was given all 4 volumes of Absolute Sandman X D
If you're keen on Sci Fi and superheroes I'd check out Marvel's Annihilation if you haven't already. Very very new reader friendly as well.

I have to recommend 100 Bullets, absolutely fantastic. Also, although its still going, the Walking Dead is another great one.
