Transmetropolitan ( again)

Top Ten

Beano then Viz.

Maus

Preacher and, since you like scifi, Transmetropolitan. I don’t like comics that much tbh but these were fantastic. Not flawless, Preacher goes off in the middle and Transmetropolitan gets in a few wee ruts, but still both fantastic.

My brother would recommend you Nicolai Dante and recent Slaine… But the problem with Slaine is that there’s about 10 years of not-particularily-good to deal with before you get to the relatively recent, gobsmackingly beautiful ones.

A lot has been said already.

100% by Paul Pope is quite unusual and short too, dystopian future where instead of simply watching girls strip they have sensors which allow you to view their internal organs. It’s poignant, not gratuitous and it’s merely a fraction of the story.

Looks like this:

Hard Boiled by Frank Miller is great, as is Sin City and his Batman series. Akira is essential. I don’t care what semantic piffle has been written about Manga; read some. Alan Moore is obviously a comic veteran too.

I quite like Monkey vs Robot for something different. Check out your local library, they usually have a section.

i just thought i would let you know what i got in the end (i think i made a good choice 😀 had a quick scan through it in the shop (and was very impressed with the artwork) am looking forward to reading it 😀

You wont regret that – Brilliant book.

Do both those legs belong to you?

Skyrim gets ever closer.

yes 😉 it isn’t long now till skyrim 😀 i bought 5th anniversary edition as i couldn’t find goty anywhere (and wanted to play shivering isles/knights of the nine) was £24.99 at gamestation (it includes a bonus dvd of the making of the game)

Not much british stuff suggested, so….

ABC warriors
bad company
hewligans haircut
charlie’s war

try The Authority stories- Superheros who are not perfect by any means…

This reminds me to dig out The Ballard of Halo Jones series I have somewhere 😀

On the British tip got a soft spot for Zenith here.

(Marshall Law was a top call too – love O’Neill’s artwork).

I liked Punisher: Born by Garth Ennis.
Jokers Asylum, Arkham Asylum and the Batman: Black Glove onwards series.

By Toutatis, there can be only one…..

Hellblazer, I enjoyed that

Can’t go wrong with Dark Knight Returns though, after that get Arkham Asylum

Cages by Dave McKean http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cages_(comics) about as good as you are gonna get.

Dark Knight Returns is ace.

Watchmen is even acer. If only for this fella.

Arkham Asylym is a load of bollucks. unless you care about a rich priviledged grown man dressing up as a bat and fighting crime. The artist himself has disassociated himself from it. and done much better things.

actually your local library is a good place to start, mine has a pretty good selection

Forgot about these two……
