Has anyone read the Friday the 13th comics - I've seen them about and flicked through them, but haven't actually read any of them.

There has been quite a few throughout the ages, all from different companies.
The one's I've found most impressive are the latest ones from a company called Wildstorm who has just finished a 6-issue run of a story set sometime after the "modern day" films. Quite good...reading through felt a lot like one of the movies.
Other than that, they've more recently did a few more
"Pamelas tale", and "How I spent my summer vacation", both prequels about Pamela, and Jason.
They don't just throw jason in a shitty bloody bunch of comics as I've seen certain companies do before (jason vs leatherface by topps comics was ridiculous), they show respect for the series and background stories, and work their own into there. This current run of f13 stuff by wildstorm, I'd reccomend to a fan of the movies, the stuff from the past....get into at your own risk and expense.
Wildstorm has also recently done some TCM and NOES comics this/last year...again, some of the best movie tie-in stuff I've seen in ages.
[QUOTE]Don't really read comics, graphic novels, in the past: Alien, it was a graphic novelisation of the film.[QUOTE]
Dark Horse does most of the Aliens stuff...and most of the alien/predator/terminator siungular and crossover comics too...I think they've always done them rather well, and would reccomend the material to anyone who's into the aliens thing. The adaptation was ok, but it's the other series like "Earth War", Genocide, and Newts Tale that take the cake for me.
The crossover ones aren't bad either, just not really into them myself.
I've been reading heaps of stuff...as I've said before, I download...I've got a box I've collected, and that's it for me.
DC Countdown is rather interesting...I've been following that.
A new one out from DC called "Simon Dark" I can see a lot of people in here liking...another gothamite. Imagine batman, without the boundaries, and a lot more weirdness.
Hm...what else...Spider-man has been really great lately across his titles, the "one more day" arc, and the events leading up to it have been a bit tragic, but a fucking great read - that's all I can say without spoiling.
