Those Walking Dead hardcovers are great if you can find them. I finished Book one a few months ago and am moving on to book two.

Yeah, but sometimes I feel guilty that I could be reading "real" books I guess. Fuck it though, I really enjoy these. After I'm finished with these I'm going to work on finishing my Sin City collection.

Fuck all that. Good storytelling is good storytelling, no matter the medium.

Has anyone read Pride of Baghdad? I'm thinking of buying it.

AMAZON wrote:
A heartbreaking look at what it's like to live in a war zone. Inspired by true events, this story tells of four lions that escape from the Baghdad Zoo during a bombing raid in 2003 and encounter other animals that offer unique perspectives, such as a tortoise that survived World War I. They begin to question the nature of freedom. Can it be achieved without being earned? What is its price? What do the lions owe the zookeepers who took care of them at the cost of keeping them in captivity? Where should they go? What should they eat? The four lions soon realize that a desert city is nothing like the grassy savannas of their memories. Their experiences mirror those of the Iraqi citizens displaced by the conflict. The book succeeds as a graphic novel and as an account of the current crisis. Henrichon's full palette emphasizes browns and grays that evoke the sands of the country, while his long brushstrokes and careful attention to detail reflect the precise and minimalist dialogue that Vaughan uses. An allegorical tale with compelling and believable characters, Baghdad makes it clear that without self-determination, there can be no freedom

ok, ive found myself lured back into buying a few titles. heres what i have gotten

War World Hulk - hot damn is this great. if you ever wanted to see the savage hulk super pissed off yet cold and calculating, this is it. the premise is that years ago, some major heros all got together to share info and confront major threats behind the scenes. these included namor, iron man, mister fantastic, black bolt, doc strange and proffesor X. the hulk went on a rampage and iron man decided, through some convincing of shield, to send the hulk to a far away planet with no life that he could hurt. namor objected and fought iron man over this saying, the hulk would come back to kill you all, and i will laugh, cause he is right. proffessor X was MIA, so that left the other four. hulk gets banished in ship, goes to wrong planet, is enslaved, breaks free with new friends, gets married, impregnates wife, watches as ship he was sent in blows up his wife and unborn child. his friends say, lets go to earth and make those pay.

so now the hulk has given the order that they have 24 hours to evacuate new york city or else he will do to the city what he did to blackbolt, as he tosses blackbolt from his ship torn and tattered. so far hulk has kicked the xmens ass, the fantastic fours ass, she hulks ass and a few others.

new avengers - the old ones disbanded and now there are two avengers groups, some rogue heros such as spidey, luke cage, ronin (hawkeye), spiderwoman (now a skrull), wolverine, iron fist and doc strange. the story is a bit convoluted but i think its setting up the reason there was a civil war in the first place, namely a skrull invasion

im also picking up xmen due to the fact the marauders are back

Have read Pride of Baghdad 3 times now ... awesome. Kinda like Animal Farm: Baghdad. Well written, well drawn, too short.

Never been a big Marvel fan. I've always preferred DC. Usually pick up Batman, Superman & Green Lantern every month.

I'm starting to think that I should, as well. I'm starting now to work my way through the new Batman canon, having just finished The Long Halloween for the second time and now looking for more Batman must-reads ... Watchmen seems straight up my alley. Let me know what you think of it!

Will do. It was kind of an impulse buy on Amazon last night. I'm slowly trying to finish out my Sin City collection, and needed something else on the order to get the free shipping and thought, why the hell haven't I read this?

I'll let you know how it is.
