Watchmen

Originally released as a 12 part limited series from 1986, Alan Moore’s Watchmen is quite possibly the greatest graphic novel ever. The first of it’s kind… blah, blah, blah, revolutionized comic books blah, blah, blah…

The real interesting thing about this is: Some people think he writes the future… or his own stylized dramatization of it. I saw V for Vendetta and to be honest… It looks alot like what I see out my window today. “The Voice” definitely reminds me of Fox News.

Watchmen is currently being added to the list of movies adapted from his books that he wan’ts absolutely nothing to do with. Also included on this list is From Hell, League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, and V for Vendetta

Fight the Future.

Black Reign

Spider-Man: Reign is a four-issue comic book limited series featuring Spider-Man, written and illustrated by Kaare Andrews and published by Marvel Comics. Set 35 years into Spider-Man’s future, it features a retired Spider-Man who returns to combat the injustices of a vastly different New York City.

The series has been compared to Batman: The Dark Knight Returns, a comparison which Marvel has also quoted when promoting Reign. As well as the thematic similarities between the two stories, both of which revisit aged heroes after the end of their careers, The Dark Knight Returns is also acknowledged within the pages of Reign by the inclusion of a character named Miller Janson (the name reflects Dark Knight Returns creators Frank Miller and Klaus Janson).

Doktor Sleepless #1 Alternate Cover

Doktor Sleepless is a fairly new series by one of my Top 5 writers, Warren Ellis. You may or may not know him as the nutjob that wrote Transmetropolitan.

Transmetropolitan

He also just recently published his first novel, “Crooked Little Vein”.

Crooked Little Vein

If you haven’t heard of him, you’re a sucker*. If you have heard of him, you already know that Doktor Sleepless is some next shit that should be purchased as it is available to do so. Just read it. Nothing I say can really even begin to explain what this is about. 6 issues deep, catch up and join me as the next 60+ issues roll out:

Red Son

A very interesting take on Superman. A very interesting take on the world.

I wanna hype this up for you to get you to read it but… Just read it. This really made me look at the world differently afterwards. They say a good book changes you. This is a good book.
