This db kinda sucks. I'm a comic fan... graphic novels are where it's at lately (and I'll admit the Marvel Ultimate stuff is a guilty pleasure).

Sweet find! The old spiderman comics from the 60's are funny. Also walking dead is a great title to read too

The funniest comics ever are the original Superman comics. His powers are incredibly different. Give it a look.

I've said it before, and I will say it again and again until the day I die. This is the best comic ever made. It's one of the best things ever made, period. It's better than penicillin. I worked part time at a comic shop for years, and I only learned two things.

1) Comics nerds aren't nice people.

2) Preacher is great.

It's about this guy who gets the power to make people do whatever he says, but he is so goddamn tough, he is so goddamn American, he is so goddamn Texan that he kicks the shit out of people bare fisted out of pure choice. It's the myth of America like only a drunk writer from Ireland could possibly see it. It's fucking fantastic.

I do love British writers writing American things. Like Alan Moore. He's British and runs a company called America's Best Comics.

And yes, comic nerds are often snobbish about their comics, just like artsy people are about music. I know a lot of them, but since I like their comics anyway I do all right.

And of course: Preacher IS great. Even if Steve Dillon's art is not. I do like Daniel Vozzo, the guy who does the colors, though. He and Laura Allred (the colorist and artist's-wife for Madman) are fantastic colorists.

Annnnnnnd this has now gotten to nerdy...so I'm done.
