I’m a comic geek. It’s been many years since I collected singles in any sort of meaningful fashion, actually over ten years if I think about it, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t an art form that is near and dear to my heart. When I was a kid and teenager super hero stuff was my favorite, and these days the movies still give me a geek-gasm, but lately I have been leaning to a more ‘thoughtful’ interpretation of the media.
Hands down the best of these kinder and more gentle comics is the Fables series. Willingham is a genius. They are smart, funny, at times sweet, sometimes surprising, and always well executed. I just finished up the 11th graphic novel that just released, and now I can’t sleep because it has me excited. Unfortunately it means that I also have wait until August before another collection is ready to read.
I have also read all of Y the Last Man, and am re-reading all of Samura’ Blade of the Immortal. Any other suggestions? Any must reads?
