This is what I'm reading now. I think it has a great story line and very well written. I would recommend it.

Criminal is five kinds of great. Ed Brubaker is guaranteed a good read no matter who he is writing.

Not at all.

Sandman is unfortunately the victim of emo posers and pseudo-serious intellectuals around the world. It is an amazing series that really broke ground as to the limits of what can be transferred into a graphic novel.

I tried Sandman, but couldn't get past the first volume. The introduction of Death was a great little story, but didn't grab me enough to get me to keep reading.

All Star Superman just wrapped up. Best thing that I've read since New Frontier.

I finally got around to picking up the final issue of All Star Superman.

Hopefully the hardback of the entire series will come out soon.

When it comes out as a trade paperback, I'll suggest it to anyone that read Superman comics in the 60's or 70's.

One of the best series of the decade... easily.

I guess you already read Robinson's Box Office Poison.

One of my favorite books of all time. Tricked is good too. I haven't picked up his latest, Too Cool to be Forgotten.

When it comes to monthly books, I'm down to JSA and Brave & the Bold.

Nothing else is really getting me right now.
