Obet: Nice intro. Cool update on the site.
Not into comics but I’ll listen anyway…you know for the witty re-par-tee.

KFX: If you like more of the good story, then you might want to check out some manga. There’s a lot of good ones out there with really good writing. Of-course, there some crappy ones, but the good ones overshadows them. If you’re interested, I can suggest a few titles for you. I know MG knows some good manga titles.
And nice intro by Obet.

I have not listened yet but the BEST MANGA EVER is Lone Wolf and Cub. It will burn a hole in your pocket but it’s worth it. 28 volumes and 8,700 pages. It’s a classic.

I have to agree with Obet. Very good read. Dark Horse released it here statestide.

I usually read comics from DC/Vertigo. Neil Gaiman’s take on Sandman is worthwhile - especially the comics making up the Myths and Fables arc. Alan Moore’s work is also a worthwhile read from Watchmen and The Killing Joke. Kingdom Come is nice as well. Manga - Barefoot Gen, Ranma 1/2, Maison Ikkoku, Adolph. Baron and Rude’s Nexus and Allred’s Madman is good as well. Grendel: Devil by the Deed and Sin City by Matt Wagner ditto. Nonoy Marcelo’s Ikabod is a worth read.
For comics its the best when good images and good story blend together. Although given to choice between a comic book with nice art with so so story and a comic book with so so art and nice story… I would pick the one with the nice story.

HA ha ha, what a great intro! Yay comics–why read words when you can look at pictures.

I have about 5-6 original Japanese Lone Wolf and Cub mangas from the 70’s and the mini bunkko (I think) from the 80’s. NOBODY else has these. They are impossible to find.

juned,
I see you are into a lot of Rumiko Takahashi. I used to read Ranma 1/2 but, while I am usually a purist with my anime, I have to admit that I like the Viz Video rendition more than the manga.
I think one of the best manga stories would be “Crying Freeman” which coincidentally is now being released by Dark Horse comics in the States.

Ahhh that geek talk. I remember these guys talking about geek stuff way back in the KAMP days. MIRA was still alive then, right ManongGuard? hehehe…
Hmmm… I got that “Spiderman vs. Superman” for my kid a month ago. It was in mint condition then… WAS… sigh.
Back in highschool, I was a proud owner of the first issue of The Simpsons.
How about those coming from the local comicbook scene. You guys read “After Eden”?
