well, there's a movies tab, and a books tab, both of which are very cool ideas, but frankly, my favorite medium is comics. so it's high time we have a comic books tab (if there is already one, let me know and i'll just post there, i didnt see one.)
so to start off: here are the one's i've finished recently:
the megalomaniacal spiderman, by peter bagge, marvel:
"didnt i 'defeat' this lunatic (dr. doom) last week? what a revolving door our justice system has become!"
--written and illustrated by none other than pete bagge (hate, neat stuff, editor of wierdo for while). a very witty 'what if...' one shot that poses the question: 'what if spiderman read ayn rand, and it drove him mad?'
of course, it also functions as a very witty tribute/send up of spiderman's cocreator, steve ditco. the nutty creator of such classic characters as mr. a, and the question (moore and gibbons based the watchmen's rorschack roughly on the question).
nausicaa, of the valley of the wind, volume 1, by hayao miyazaki, viz, fifth time:
a good start to the story, excellent action/drama, and as expected from miyazaki, good art. but it's one that just gets better as it goes along, and it's volumes three and four in particular that make this my favorite manga, as well as my favorite comic of all time.
