Comic book readers?

Thanks. I am a huge fan of Warren Ellis.

 

Thought I'd bump this, anyone reading Batman RIP? I am still reading the usual, DareDevil, JSA, New Avengers, Mighty Avengers, Captain America, NightWing, JLA, Iron Fist, The Phantom, and anything old or new that catches my eye.

 

Yup I am.

 

Adam Morrison is this world's Lex Luthor. And RIP is trippy cool.

 

Right now I'm reading:

Terry Moore's Echo
Mark Millar's Wolverine: Old Man Logan
Joss Whedon's Buffy: Season 8
Bendis' Secret Invasion,
Grant Morrison's All Star Superman
Brian Vaughan's Ex Machina
Giffen's Ambush Bug
Mark Millar's Kick Butt <-- totally recommend.

...aaaaand other stuff.

 

Reading/read :

- Naruto
- Death Note
- Bleach
- Rurouni Kenshin
- Ikki Tousen
- Oldboy


Read lots of other stuff, cant remember it all though..

 

Only comic I follow nowadays is:

Blade of the Immortal
and anything with Deadpool in it.

I'm currently working on a comic of my own.
There's a lot of crap out there nowadays.

 

Grew up on Ghost Rider. The one and only comic I really got into.

 

I'm reading the Watchmen graphic novel for the first time.

Its getting me back into comics.

 

What do you think of it so far?

 

Currently following:
Doktor Sleepless
Ex Machina
DMZ
Black Summer
Planetary (well, waiting for that last issue really)

Backordering along the way:
The Invisibles
The Killer (Dutch version)
S1ngle (Dutch)
Death: The High Cost of Living
Batman: The Killing Joke

Shag:
Have you read Sandman yet then?

 

I just finished reading the final chapter today.

I was very disappointed of the end. Didn't like the final resolution at all.

Don't want to give away spoilers for those who haven't read it but it brought back some thoughts/emotions on some real life issues which happened after this story was written.

I'm not sure how the American public will like the movie if it stays true to the original work. But with saying that I still think it was a great piece of work and recommend anyone to read it.

 

I'd love to hear your thoughts on why the ending didn't sit with you.

Watchmen graphic novel: really enjoyed the whole series.. completely original take on superheros and personalities; i can definitely see why its one of the most critically acclaimed series of all time.. i can also understand why some fans might not want to see it butchered on big screen just to make a buck..

i dont have any strong feelings about the ending but i can understand how other can feel let down.. i anticipated some of the twists but i didnt expect it to unfold the way it did and i was a lil disappointed in a certain part of the execution.. because one element was kinda left field, even considering the material we're dealing with, that particular detail (which i wont mention or hint at) seemed forced and really didnt feel like part of a grand finale..

i think the movie looks interesting so far and im glad theyre making it or i probably never wouldve come across Watchmen on my own.. i only dip back into comics when they cross paths with mainstream media outlets, particularly the movies.. 300, Watchmen, Batman, Superman and Iron Man are most of the recent examples that have renewed my interest in the genre.. i really want to see Dr Manhattan's powers and Rorschach's mask on screen..

currently following: none. im lazy and i spend most of my disposable income on video games or at poker tables.. i used to be a big DC guy but i know very little about the continuity and even less about other brands..

 

And thus I've exploded in nerdgasm this morning upon learning there's a new miniseries I'll be collecting:

Farscape

Issue 1 coming november. To be published by Boom! comics.
Written by Rockne O'Bannon himself (original creator of the show).
