The Graphic Novels / Comic Books thread

Obviously not paying attention to the warnings on page 3 of the Walking Dead thread?

Saw those posts alright, but the good thing for me is that I am a GN virgin, so there's a whole world of them out there to keep me occupied once I get up to date.

Feeding my new addiction today and bought Batman Cacophony, the walking dead volume 1 and sin city volume 1.

Anyone know how to subscribe to the batman comics so they get delivered each week?

I'd suggest speaking to your local comic shop (if you have one), or someone like Mega City Comics, link here

just picked up some GNs at the weekend I got All Star Superman volumes 1 & 2 and I bought Walking Dead Volume 1 to give it a go.

Not a huge Superman fan, but a quick look on Amazon gives this a thumbs up. No Vol 1 available sadly, but added to my list of stuff to take a look at. Thanks!

Took a trip to Forbidden Planet this evening, and picked this up. Not a bad read - pretty interesting take on the Superman origin theme, but all in all rather short, I'd have preferred something a little meatier. Still, not too shabby - good artwork, and writing by J. Michael Straczynski, so can't go wrong. It's apparently likely to be the first of many "Earth One" storylines created by the current weekly "Trinity" series in the DC Universe, so worth looking out for more.

Also picked up Siege and Luthor (A Superman story told from the perspective of Lex Luthor) - neither of which I've read yet. Refrained from Y the last man, since I'd have ended up buying all of them, and then having to carry them home...
