I read the Sandman in the original single issue comics starting with the very first issue....starting dating my wife in 2004....introduced her to Sandman.....have purchased her the Absolute editions of both Sandman and Death.

Garth Ennis is a writer that I love....his stuff is not for the faint of heart.....violence, sex and foul language abound.....but he works it well.

"Chew" by john layman.. published by image, is on the third volume.
very strange subject matter. I highly recommend
ISBN# 978-1-60706-159-5.
Oh god, that's right! I forgot about Chew! THAT'S a good story!

I have read some interesting non-traditional, which means no super-heroes, graphic novels recently. They include the following:
Both of the "American Century" collections by Howard Chaykin and David Tischman.
Primates: The Fearless Science of Jane Goodall, Dian Fossey and Birute' Galdikas by Jim Ottaviani
Sailor Twain by Mark Siegel
Glacial Period by Nicolas de Crecy
The Carter Family: Don't Forget This Song by Frank M. Young
If you are looking for some good super-hero stuff, I would recommend the current Hawkeye series from Marvel. The first trade paperback is available. Matt Fraction is the writer.
Brandon Graham's re-imaging of the 1990's character, Prophet, is also worth a read.
If horror is your thing, check out the two volumes of "Crossed: Wish You Were Here." Si Spurrier has an twisted take on the Crossed and their world. This is also available as a free web comic....just goggle the title.

Arent graphic novels just comics with a hard cover?
If you take the narrow view, yes....but not always with a hard cover :twisted:

Has anyone read anything from DC's new 52? I haven't, and my feelings on the whole relaunch have been sorta 'meh.' I suppose this is how some fans felt when the continuity was rebooted with Crisis in the 80s. :-|
Anywho, I'm a big Grant Morrison fan, and I've heard his Batman Inc. arc is largely unaffected by the reboot, so I'll probably pick up those two graphic novels. Just wanting to know people's thoughts on the rest of the line ... good ... bad ...? Any input is appreciated, thanks!
I read the Court of Owls run,
penned by Scott Snyder.
That's all I really know about
DC's new 52.
Cheers.
Was it any good? I heard a little bit about it, and was slightly turned off by the revelation that -- SPOILER! -- Bruce had a brother (supposedly). But I enjoy Snyder's run in the pre-New 52 Batman universe.

It's pretty good. Worth reading, yes.
