Amazingly, my library had Blankets, and I checked it out a month ago or so.

It was good.  I recommend it to anybody who likes graphic literature.

Grant Morrison's  The Invisibles is totally in line w/ (and possibly my favorite) Alan Moore, Neil Gaiman, and Warren Ellis... Fuckin' brilliant story.  Pick it up, you won't regret it.


I'm REALLY trying to like the Invisibles, but it just seems like Burnt out Acid writing. I have no idea what is going on in this story.

yeah, i've actually read blankets as well.  it was recommended to me by a friend a couple years back.  i rather enjoyed it, even if it was a bit "cute".

the same friend actually gave me another piece by craig thomas before i left the states.  it's like a small illustrated diary of his travels promoting a book or something.  he's a talented artist, so it made for an interesting time-waster while on the plane.  hopefully i'll be able to bookswap it, should i come across a bookswap.

Since I don't think anyone has mentioned, for fun, Jhonen Vasquez's Johnny The Homicidal Maniac and Squee would be great additions to anyone's collection.

If we could look into each others hearts, and understand the unique challenges each of us faces, I think we would treat each other much more gently, with more love, patience, tolerance, and care.

It takes a lot of courage to go out there and radiate your essence.

I know you scared, you should ask us if we scared too.  If you was there, and we just knew you cared too.

Those rapidshare files will only let me download them if I am a member. Weird.

I can find other sources I suppose.

:shrug:  It's not like you're reading Finnegans Wake, I'm not sure what is so hard to understand about it, but would be glad to explain anything.  Stick w/ it IMO, you'll be a better person for it, lol.

Akira is meant to be a masterpiece. Apparently its far more detailed and in depth than the movie.

comic book readers are hard on my eyes and i can only read for short durations... nonetheless, it's an awfully tempting way to go about it... has anyone tried comic reader mobi for iphone?  $15... am wondering if it's worth the investment...

i don't really have any other option.  i'm in a tiny village in czech right now, so there aren't exactly any comic book shops around.  and even if there were, i'm traveling, so i wouldn't want the excess weight.

in regards to the iphone cbr reader, i don't have any experience.  but $15 seems awfully pricey for something that i'm like 90% sure exists for free out there.  there's got to be a free app for that.  also, if you can't find a free app, you can always use winrar or 7zip to unarchive the .cbr/.cbz files.  it would basically turn the .cbr/.cbz into a folder containing each of the pages as individual images.  so you should be able to view the whole comic on your iphone that way.

damn, that does look pretty fucking cool.  is that a proprietary comic reading format though?  i've been reading about these apps, and it seems most of them require that you dload comics directly from their own library (paying for each comic, of course).

also, after doing som reading, it appears trying to extract the image files of each page directly to the iphone doesn't work that well.  too difficult to read apparently.

nope

"Unlike other solutions, Comic Reader Mobi works on standard CBR,CBZ,RAR and ZIP files. No need for propreitary formats, or specially redesigned comics!"

which is why i'm considering it...  w/ others you have to convert to another format at the least.

Hound of the Baskervilles is recommended :thumbup:  I read it the other day and it really hit the spot.  A must for Sherlock Holmes fans.

I'm about 15 issues in and I have little idea about what's going on. I understand that the world itself is not real (much like the Matrix), but I don't understand the "liquid that it outside but comes from the inside".

I think Preacher and Sandman have ruined comics for me.
