I was seriously considering buying the consolidated graphic Watchmen the other day, but I couldn't get over the price tag.
I definitely have to read it through before I see the movie.

BTW: Welcome to HDC:cool:

Mine was actually a birthday present from my son. "Wanted" was £2 off from Waterstones.

I need to read The Watchmen. Need to read it BADLY (especially before the movie comes out).

Just finished Vol. 8 of The Walking Dead. And, well, as insipid as the writing is, I'm honestly looking forward to Vol. 9. I wouldn't necessarily recommend the collection to a horror fan (because it's SERIOUSLY a soap opera, which just doesn't make sense to me... you have ZOMBIES and you focus on the DRAMA?!), but he had to get SOMEthing right... Else I would have put it down.

Clerks (The Comic Book).

DMZ, Vol. 5: The Hidden War, by Wood et al. – A series of single-issue vignettes about second-tier DMZ characters. Normally the kind of thing I’d really like, but this didn’t connect with me. Not entirely sure why.

The Mammoth Book of Best Horror Comics – A nice idea, but disappointing. Few of the modern comics were very good and it totally lacked EC, Marvel, and DC comics (for licensing reasons, I’d bet), which are some of the best and most important horror comics of the 50s and 70s.

The Book of Leviathan

It's like a pretentious Dada Calvin and Hobbes, but I ended up really liking. Poetic, high concept, sorta dull, but at the same time innovative and exciting. A cool surprise for people who don't mind weird, lit ficky comics and want something more creative than the latest Daniel Clowes suicide rant.

Batman: Haunted Knight.

Monster, Vols. 12-14 by Naoki Urasawa – Things are really getting interesting on a thematic/philosophical level, as the story begins to focus question of identity, history, the importance of names, etc. These three books show manga at a very interesting point – not much happens, and the villain hardly appears, for nearly 500 pages, yet the books are still engaging.
