Old Man Logan
Pretty cool read, the violence is pretty hardcore. 8/10

My John Constantine shelf. I have all the main trades. Just need Papa Midnite, Lady Constantine, and Chas.


Misc DC/Vertigo shelf. Mostly Preacher and Sandman, with some Jonah Hex and Swamp Thing for good measure. Also V for Vendetta and Watchmen.

Cool Stuff!

Check out Grant Morrison's The Invisibles if you get the chance-
definitely my (all time) favorite DC/Vertego title ever!

the bomb

(Kinda like a Robert Anton Wilson novel)

Pretty cool, kinda big week-



Great getting 2 Project Super Powers comics in the same week-
Vampirella #3 was good as Vampirella finally showed up and the art was better then #2 (which was better then #1) Wonder what's next after this mini(?)-
Doom Patrol, Captain America Reborn & The Torch were all 10/10
the Savage Dragon was a bit like an epileptic in an electric chair this month...
House Of Mystery I snag for my wife~

Wow, been a while. Lemme just start with my most recent reads. I've been working on catching up with all the Punisher MAX trades.  Got vols 1-5, 9, of the Garth Ennis run. Also picked up the non-numbered Punisher titles Welcome to the Bayou, Girls in White Dresses, and Beginning and the End.

Finished my Darkness collection too, picking up Resurrection, Demon Inside, and Depths of Hell. Which finishes volume 2. And getting Accursed vols 1 and 2 which brings me up to date with Vol 3. Darkness/Pitt was a fun read.

I've expanded my reading list quite a bit in the past couple months. Picked up Batman Hush, some Superman, and am working my way through the Smith/Bendis Daredevil run. What has everyone else been reading?

Not a recent haul, but I just finished reading "Earth X" (Marvel)
(12 issues & a few extras)
& now I'm starting "Universe X"

Didn't like the art when "Earth X" first came out (99?) but once I got
past that it turned out to be a very cool story-
hope the next one's good~

I've been re-reading the full run of The Spectre (vol.3) again. Made through issues #0-30 so far. It was an oustanding series that has been severely overlooked/underrated through the years. Some of John Ostrander's best work. Tom Mandrake did a great job on the art, an Ostrander's take on the character actually gave ol' Spec some depth, proving he wasn't just some ultra-powerful character to be used in a story for dramatic flair. The stories in  the series are quite thought-provoking, and touch upon a variety of subjects. Plus, the cover art from issue to issue was some of the best for it's time. Unfortunately, DC has neglected this fantastic comic, only releasing a single trade reprinting the first four issues, called Crimes and Punishments.
