I definitly like them, but theres not that much that I read anymore. I was WAY into Strangers in Paradise, but that ended. Im reading Marvel Zombies,
Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Liberty Meadows (whenever it comes out) and Im going to start the new Hulk that came out last week.

Joe Mad is cool but this is the wrong title for him. He needs to be on spiderman and nothing else. ultimates 3 is so bad though

the goon is always amazing.
Y the last man has wavered a lot in the last 10 or so issues, it should have finished a year ago but its still quality. I try and stay away from a lot
of super hero stuff (which is funny as I might have work at marvel at some stage this year) just because a lot of it is pure fucking production line
stuff just to make up numbers.
Walking dead is great but reads much better in collected form. Criminal is great but Brubaker might be stretching himself at the moment.
Hellboy is always fucking worth reading but I REALLY want to see Mignola back on pencils and inks.

All I read is The Goon. I just finished Chinatown and the mystery of Mr. Wicker. So good, and not expecting it to be THAT serious. Shows Powell can
step away from the humor and write a solid fucking story, He replaced sam Kieth as my all time favorite comic artist too, He really stepped it up for
this book. I was kind of dissapointed with the sloppiness exhibited in #19, but realize it was a quick push due to his other obligations. I literaly
got a hard on when I found out DH was publishing the series on amonthly basis now. I can't say enough about this book and it's creator. I also collect
Goon shit, the Bowen statues and Mezco toys are so fucking cool! Before this I hadn't touched comics in years, I lost interest after the Maxx ended
and Kieth went even deeper into his womens empowerment trip. Powell replaced Kieth as my all time favorite and is single handedly responsible for
getting me back into comics. Now, before Kieth I was on a Vigil kick, first Faust, then I strted to reach back into Grips and some of his early stuff.
As far as actual super hero shit, I still swear ny the X-men of the late eighties early nineties, that was good story telling and solid artwork. For
those of you with a sick sense of humor and a small poenchant for senseless violence, I can't recommend the Goon enough. Oh yeah, tales from the Crypt
was just released, I forget the publisher, but I picked up the first issue before I shipped out and it wasn't bad, I may look into that series if it
isn't already dead, when I get back. Bombidol, definitely want to see some of your work, post it up bro!

Sam Keith is probably my favourite artist ever along with Mignola.
Bear in mind gents that I write, I CAN draw but I dont have the time to polish it to an industry standard.
But heres some pages of something I wrote thats due out this year.
It's in full color but I'm waiting on the colorist to finish up so we can sent it on to the letterer.
The story follows a regular working class Joe from Dublin who is involved in a drunken car crash only to have his soul transferred into a corpse so he
can hunt religious relics for a renegade angel. So basically its a drunk Irish zombie roaming the earth indiana jones style. Its a mix of stuff like
Hellboy, Goon, Preacher etc but from a different standpoint.
These Images arent the greatest quality but its all I have to hand.
A few images from a comic called "Thorne" we were working on. The artist disappeared so I dunno whats going to happen.
And the cover by Wegener, who back then was pretty much unknown but now is the artist on Punisher War Journal. Hes awesome.
Theres a shit load more due out. We have a title called "Legion of 2" which follows 2 US soldiers who get stranded on an pacific island during the
war. We catch up with them in the late 70's and they have fortified the island thinking the war is still on.
Then a business who have bought said island to turn it into a hotel resort show up. Trouble ensues.
Another called "Presidential" which is a cross between OZ and The West Wing. What would happen if the president killed everyone in the whitehouse and
got sent to a max security prision. Its going to be fucking fun.
Theres more, but these are the ones in development. I write or co write/plot all of these. Character design etc too.

Yeah I got that Bizzaro arc too. Yeah they will be available in all comic stores when they are finished. You might have to ask them to order them in
though, but in theory all the good stores should have em. I think Mark Millar is writing an introduction for us.

let me know when they it will be available, and i'll get my buddy to order it in for me, (he owns a comic shop), and if you know what issue of
previews it will be in would help as well.

Excellent. I love those finds. I was at this dirt mall in detroit last year and they were selling ALL the comics for 25 cents each. Picked up some
original Jack Kirby stuff and some amazing old ninja turtles etc.

I'm reading Star Wars Legacy and Knights of the Old Republic right now mostly. Getting into the other two SW titles that Dark Horse has too, for their
big timeline crossover Vector.
I'm getting back into Batman and stuff, so I just recently picked up the Hush TPBs. Good stuff. Jim Lee's art is amazing. I was heartbroken in 1992
when he left X-Men to do his Image stuff. Anyone read the DC All-Star line? Frank Miller's Batman and Robin the Boy Wonder with Jim Lee on art. It's
in continuity with Batman: Year One and The Dark Knight Returns. There's a Superman one too, but I'm not all that into Supes.
