I'm reading Pride of Baghdad again, and it' just as good as the last time.

I really should pick that one up....sounds incredible.

I havent read a comic in years, but my wife brought home a copy of Iron Man: Armor Wars, so I am reading that. pretty damn cool so far.

Drifting Classroom, by Kazuo Umezu, Vols. 9-11 – The concluding volumes to this crazy 70s SF/horror series. A little bit of an unsatisfying ending, but also pleasing downbeat and unresolved. Worth every volume.

The Dreaming Vol. 3, by Queenie Chan – A slightly disappointing ending to a promising series. The mysteries are revealed, and they’re decently good, but the process of getting them is a little bumpy.

C'mon - no one read any comics in the last week?

I read: Blue, by Elizabeth Genco and Sami Makkonen – a retelling of the Bluebeard fairy tale, set in modern days, among musicians and a woman who can turn into animals. Very good story, and terrific art. Worth checking out if you like fairy tales, especially in modern contexts.

Batman: Absolution.

Grendel: Red, White and Black

I'm intrigued by anything with the title Grendel. Is the comic any good?

That reminds me - I need to finish up your book (believe me - it's only taking me forever because I have reading ADD; I'm enjoying it quite a bit. It's not you, it's me :p ).

I'm making my way through The Walking Dead anthologies that my boyfriend picked up last weekend (he already polished off the first 8).

I'm currently on The Walking Dead Volume 2: Miles Behind Us

The series is ok so far... Dunno. It definitely a bit more of a soap opera than a horror comic series... I hope that it gets a bit darker.

Anyone read The Walking Dead? Thoughts? Opinions?

From the Grendel stuff I've read, it's really cool. It doesn't involve Beowulf directly, far as I know, but it is about the devil's assassin doing battle with a werewolf, so the allegory is kind of there.

Just finished two graphic novels: Watchmen (had to read it before the film was released), and Wanted. Loved the artwork on Wanted, and Watchmen reminded me of my youth. Still haven't read V for Vendetta . . . no, really!
