What comic did you last read?

[Prof]

I'll give you a swatch of it first if you want. Still got a backlog including your Punisher: Born so it'll just be sitting here doing nothing in the meantime.

All of Moore's Swamp Thing is gospel. The very last issue (Return Of The Good Gumbo) is still the most joyous work Alan Moore has yet produced.

Better than Watchmen, if thats a handy point of reference for the masses.

[Posh]

Saaaaaaaaaaweet.

[MarkMono]

The single issue stories are among the greatest ever produced within the format: Loving The Alien, Strange Fruit, My Blue Heaven, all classics.

I may just stop reading comics until Morrison and Quietly's run on Batman & Robin is done.* 'Mon Morrison, prove you're not just a useless prick who only references philosophers mentioned in Ministry albums.

the first half of swamp thing can't be beat for me with the horror aspect

actually do comics get worse than doug wheeler's swamp thing?

[Posh]

Mighty Avengers 25.

I've been loving this since Slott took over from Bendis. Funny as fuck.

I've known Victor for several years, beginning with my trips to Europe and Spain for conventions. I've always loved his work. When I saw a few animal sketches he did after he did a pin up for 'Mice Templar,' I knew he was the only dude who could pick up the 'Templar' art torch and expand it while maintaining the spirit of the series. I totally miss [drawing the interiors]! 'Mice' is very close to my heart, one of my earliest ideas that goes back to the earliest days just before 'Powers.' But there are only so many hours in the day and I only have so much energy. I work full time at Valve [a video game development company] and now that 'Powers' is relaunching and 'Rapture' is almost finished, I just don't have the time and energy to practically take on a second title. It means the world to me that Victor is taking over the heavy lifting – he's not only a great artist, but he's also become a friend.

I've just finished Judge Dredd: Case Files 2. The Cursed Earth is an Utter Beast. Also got Case Files 3 & 4 plus the second volume of Moore's Swamp Thing yesterday, so there's a wild weekend ahead of me right there!

I've not read Swamp Thing in yonks! Don't even remember who was doing it the last time I picked it up. Hmmm..might have to have a wee look around and try to figure that out.

the last writer on it was joshua dysart, it was cancelled a few years ago

It's probably been since the early to mid-90's since I last read a Swamp Thing. Having a wee browse about I'm sure my ex would have started me with the Alan Moore run, and I probably read a few of the Rick Veitch issues too. Definitely nothing after round about '96 or '97 - think I had branched off and was buying my own comics then, more so than what my ex was recommending.

mark millar's run is good. sometimes i wonder where that millar went.

Powers 1-10, cannae find 11 anywhere

Both Morrison and Millar's stories have varied over the years, to the point where you get the impression that they're being deliberately misleading about who wrote what on Swamp Thing. Morrison definitely sketched out a series of story arcs for Millars run, but its hinted that he ghost-wrote parts of it too.

I might still have that one! Will have a look round..

Any luck with this? I'm very confused.
