the publishers themselves. not sure if you mean new or old though.

Either. At the moment I'm interested in getting Ennis' The Pro. I'll find out who published it and check their site, thank you.

the pro was published by image. if they dont have anything try find a review of it online, they might have images. newer comics are easier to find samples online as they releases teases in advance to comic news and review sites. older stuff may be harder to find,

There is areviewof the Pro on Comixology for the iPad, maybe the website offers the same thing.

Been losing myself in Batman recently but I did pick up Kevin Smiths Green Hornet on a bit of an impulse. I have never really read any of his work so I thought why not ! I also have picked up the Dark Tower comic books but I am unsure as to whether I would be doing myself a dis service by not reading the proper Stephen King Novels. Anyone read either version of the Dark Tower series ?

Funnily enough my boss said to me this morning that he's read the novels and he thought the comics/GN's were really poor in comparison.

Currently reading "Y The Last Man", it's pretty good but nowhere near as good as The Walking Dead (the first GN I've ever read).

Downloaded the iPod app. Thank you.


After all that, I don't think I'll bother with The Pro. The preview didn't really grab me.

I'd recommend reading the books first Steve. I have the first 2 volumes of the GNs - they're decent enough, but there's no comparison really. The books are fantastic reads.

Hillskill

Done. Will put them on the back burner and get the first book then. Got plenty of comic books to get started with anyways.
