I love this mini-series.
Gutted that the next issue is the last.

DMZ #43

Brian Wood's finest, and very quietly one of the finest comics Vertigo has published this decade.

Re: What comic did you last read?

Was looking for "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep" based on the book by Phillip K Dick, aka Blade Runner.
Apparently there are some legal shenanigans going on with regards to who has the rights.

Was really looking forward to this one, but my wait continues it seems.

Re: What comic did you last read?

Looking forward to that too, lets hope its not the incoherent hames that Frank Miller's Robocop was.

Still, backmatter by Warren Ellis, covers by Bill Sienkiewicz, they've obviously got the right idea.

'Bullseye: Greatest Hits' by Daniel Way and Steve Dillon.

Decent script, great art. Dunno why I'd never read this before now 'cos I love Dillon and I love Bullseye.

Rasl #5

Jeff Smith's first major work since Bone, and unlike Bone, it actually has a story. Pretty amazing actually.

Wednesday Comics #1

Unmissable. Every inch of this is the kind of comics I want to read. Except for the Teen Titans one, its crap, but thats only one page.

Re: What comic did you last read?

Just finished #1-7 of Old Man Logan. Really enjoyed it but #8 isn't out till September. I feel sorry for those that have been waiting months before me for the conclusion.

Re: What comic did you last read?

The first book is called Sin City!

(I hate it when they retroactively rename things.)

Re: What comic did you last read?

The first book is called "A Hard Goodbye".


They all have different titles. The series is titled Sin City.
Fair enough, it was called Sin City when it was first released as the 13 issue series, but when it was collected to TPB, it was titled differently.
Still, the whole series is refered to as Sin City.

Re: What comic did you last read?

Look here sonny, I read every chapter of the first volume when it was originally serialised in Dark Horse Presents, then I bought the collection, then I bought the hardcover.

Trust me, I know what its called.

Re: What comic did you last read?

So then you'll know the series of TPBs are all based on the same series, which is known collectively as Sin City.

Re: What comic did you last read?

Nah, Mark's right. Think of it as the first one is the self-titled album.

And I'm still hurt about the time I lost a point in a quiz over the 'A New Hope' bit being added later. FUCK YOU, INACCURATE QUIZMASTER.

Re: What comic did you last read?

Pretty much all of the original comics and the current TPBs have "A Sin City tale" or something along those lines printed somewhere on the cover.
I fail to see how that means the series isn't called Sin City. Even if it isn't, it's based in the same city, making it a sufficient and adaquate nickname. I think Mark is being pedantic.

Me? I'm also being pedantic, with an added helping of annoying.
