Comic Books

I've been a huge fan of comic books for many years now. So I want to share some of the comics I'm currently reading as well as some of my all time favorites.

With the highly acclaimed success of graphic novels like The Watchmen and Persepolis the graphic novel is quickly moving toward becoming an academically accepted literary form, which is exciting.

Cross Bronx: One of the best crime novels in recent memory.


The Surrogates: One of my favorite science fiction novels. The art is great and each chapter builds to a really nice ending.


Joker: This novel comes out Nov 4th and it looks like it is going to be worthy of setting next to The Killing Joke.


Doktor Sleepless: Is one of the best ongoing series out today. "Future science Jesus" about sums it up. Demo: Intertwining short stories done so well it might make you cry.

Crossed: A fucked up ongoing series.

This is a really great interview with Alan Moore.

The listing for the upcoming anthology I am in is here. At the link there are excerpts from a few of the 18 stories in the anthology (my story does not have an excerpt). The anthology is expected to be available December 15th.

With nothing happening because I'm stranded due to the lack of available gas where I live, this is what I've been doing:

Wuthering Heights: just finished it for the second time a few days ago. It is a good read and has a lot of depth to it.
The House of Mirth: about 3/4 through this one and I like it. Social commentary galore

The Wire: renting the seasons, currently on season 4.

W.H. Auden: Reading his selected poetry. Auden likes spies. I like Auden.

No Posit volume 3 is live here. Give it a look.

'Writer' is not a title that you can give to yourself. It's something given when other people acknowledge you as such.

I will siphon your gas from your car.
