Aside from some volumes of Hellsing and a Japanese DMC comic my ex bought me, the only manga I've really read is a bunch of H-doujins......

In my opinion he's the best pop writer to come out of Japan since Tezuka. The battle between good and evil, truths, vices, hopes, dreams, hate, love, faith, human beings, and history, and he even wraps them in an engaging and original plot on top of it.

Everyone should read 20th Century Boys and the rest of Urasawa's body of work, of course.

Read the latest Blake & Mortimer, it was pretty good. Nothing amazing, but it was a decent mystery-story and I did like how Blake's past tied into the plot. So all in all, I enjoyed it.

I also read the first volume of Lincoln; a French western-comic about an outlaw who one day meets God and is granted immortality by him. I really liked this one, especially the dialogue and interaction with the main characters. Definitely a comic I'll keep reading.

DC... it's so hard to defend you when you make such stupid decisions like fire Gail Simone and allow Karen Berger to leave. I don't want to say that Marvel's doing better, but it's starting to look like that.

Marvel's animation department may be utterly horrible right now, but they're definitely doing far better with their comics and films at the moment.

And Snyder is leaving Swamp Thing. So DC officially only has 2 comics worth reading now.

Life is not about the second chances. It's about a little mouse and his voyage to an exciting new land. That, my friend, is what life is.
