MarketTantrik Posted December 11, 2007 Report Share Posted December 11, 2007 I'm stocking up on Neil Gaiman's and Frank Miller's works from the local CrossWord store. The local manager seems to be a Miller - Gaiman fan. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyler Posted December 11, 2007 Report Share Posted December 11, 2007 My local Landmark also has a great collection of Gaiman's Sandman series. Gotta start collecting those! In fact the store has a very impressive collection of graphic novels. I bought most of the absolute must-buy ones from the US thinking I'd never find them over here.

Tyler Posted December 11, 2007 Report Share Posted December 11, 2007 Okay, after hijacking the Iron Man thread several times and seeing how many people love this stuff, I decided to create a dedicated thread for everything related to comic books and graphic novels. Â So let's talk people! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

V For Vendetta - another one!  Batman - The Dark Knight Returns Batman - The Long Halloween Batman - Dark Victory Batman - Arkham Asylum (freaky stuff!!) Batman - Year One (Frank Miller) Batman - The Killing Joke (twisted! really shows how f**ked up The Joker is!)  John Constantine: Hellblazer - Dangerous Habits  Kingdom Come Crisis On Infinite Earths Infinite Crisis  Marvel: Spiderman - Ultimate Carnage Marvel 1602 Marvel Secret Wars  Others: Frank Miller's 300 30 Days Of Night 30 Days Of Night: Three Tales Hellraiser: Collected Best Frank Miller's Hard Boiled Frank Miller's Sin City: The Hard Goodbye  ^^ I must have forgotten a couple, but I guess that's pretty much...

MarketTantrik Posted December 11, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2007 I have seen the "History of Violence" movie. Amazing stuff and reaffirms my belief that Viggo Mortensen is one of the best actors in Hollywood along with Christian Bale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyler Posted December 11, 2007 Report Share Posted December 11, 2007 @O&E, I've read From Hell and watched the movie too. However, Alan Moore doesn't usually approve movie adaptations of his work. Â I personally can't wait for Zack "300" Snyder's movie adaptation of Watchmen which will be out next year! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyler Posted December 11, 2007 Report Share Posted December 11, 2007 @O&E, V For Vendetta was a good movie although it did stray a bit from the book. The way the ending plays out in the book is very different. Instead they chose to put a bullet time fight to keep audiences happy... Â Oh yeah and Watchmen is looking good so far! I've heard that Zack Synder refused to change the ending as requested by the studio. The studio apparently wanted a 'happier" ending considering the fact that the graphic novel ends on a bleak note.

Keyofx Posted December 12, 2007 Report Share Posted December 12, 2007 (edited) The afro samurai anime was okay but I thought it needed a few more episodes to flesh out the universe a little more. And it's nice to see fellow Alan Moore fans crawling out of the woodwork Have you guys read The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen?
