Scalped Vol.2-6

Greg told me that he would give me his entire run of his SCALPED trade paperbacks when he came home to visit but I liked the first one enough that I couldn't wait. Someone on ebay was selling  Trades 3-4 and 6 for 22 bucks (with free shipping) so I went ahead and ordered it. Then I ordered books 2 and 5 separately.
So far so good...and I'm loving what a luscious slut Carol is in each chapter! Waiting to see how this character develops. She can't be here purely for gratuitous sex scenes, can she?

Scalped Vol One: Indian Country

Another title Greg recommended, but after Welcome Back and We Can Never Go Home, I was pretty reserved about trying another series he liked! LOLOL.  But one weekend I was bored as shit and Ted at Gecko's was talking about the series and so I decided, hell, couldn't hurt to try the first trade. So far so good!

Unfollow Vol.2: God Is Watching

 Volume Two of this Vertigo Series just came out but I'll have to re-read Volume One again to reacquaint myself with the story...gads, been so long between books!!!
Edit: Zzzzzz....can't say I'm much caring for how this series is shaping up...the writing is beginning to bug me. Debating if i should even continue buying this, I guess I'll decide by the time the next book comes out.

iZombie, Vol.1: Dead to The World

My first exposure to iZombie was an issue where Gilbert Hernandez had done a guest spot. I love Los Bros Hernandez and so my comic shop held an issue for me in case I was interested. I bought it and read it but didn't get around to really readin ti til i saw a used copy of the first Trade Paperback "Dead to the World" on sale.
WOW, was it  Good!!! Interesting storylines, characters , and artwork: Michael Allred looks like he's channeling Charles Burns or Chris "Coop" Cooper with his illustartions and wierd charicature characters. And is it just me or does main character Gwen. the titular "zombie" of the strip look not just a little like Blondie's Debbie Harry?

Sweet Tooth, Vol.1-6

After hearing how much I loved his earlier recommendation for Manifest Destiny, my friend Gerg suggested I might like Sweet Tooth, the story of a young boy born with deer antlers on the verge of Apocalypse. It was an okay series, good to spend a week reading.

Sandman: Endless Nights

Released long after Sandman had finished its original run, this Graphic Novel was a warm welcome, and seeing our favorite characters (in their own individual stories) again was such a joy to read!!!

Y The Last Man (Complete Series)

One of the greatest comic cook series of all time, Y: The Last Man tells the tale of Yorick, the supposed "last man" on earth and the trials and tribulations he and his pet monkey through. The series that introduced me to the fantastic art of Pia Guerra and the insanely awesome writing of Brian K  Vaughan!

Heartland

I initially picked this one up because it was done by the incredible team of Garth Ennis and Steve Dillon, and though I was first surprised to find it wasn't a super-hero comic per se, I was soon taken in by the powerful and emotional story of Hellblazer character Kit Ryan and her life and childhood in Northern Ireland. VERY moving story.

The Eaters

An absolutely AWESOME Vertigo one-shot story, this one from Peter Milligan and Dean Normston about a tight-knit and loving family of cannibals and the perils they face as EATERS.  A fun (if VERY black-humoured) comic I LOVE re-reading over and over again!

Hellblazer #47-93,129-133 + Special

As you can see, I'm a big fan of Garth Ennis' run on Hellblazer, especially his collaboration with Steve Dillon on art. and after reading the trade "Dangerous Habits", I began buying the individual issues starting with #47 to issue 93, with one Special in between, and later when Garth Ennis returned with Mike Higgins for issues 129-133.
