i was always facinated by comic books, but i always thought it was too massive of an undertaking to break into myself. i got into SiP about a year ago, but i am eager to branch out. something to tide me over for the 6 mos. http://www.hostboard.com/ubb/wink.gif i have to wait for more SiP. what else do you all read, either similar or completely different? remember, i am new at this. http://www.hostboard.com/ubb/smile.gif

I'm a fan of Wolverine, but the writing and art are nothing to the level of SIP. Not sure you'd care for it.

Definitely give Gaiman's "Sandman" another go, and his two "Death" mini-series as well. Other personal favorites of mine are any of the "Sin City" books by Frank Miller (or anything else by Miller, really) and the original "The Crow" graphic novel by James O'Barr.

thanks, all.
i have read a bit of sandman but i wasnt too into it. perhaps i will try again because it has been a few years. and i am more and more into sortof sci-fi supernatural as i get older. and witchblade sounds very interesting.
thanks again http://www.hostboard.com/ubb/smile.gif

you know, this "sin city" keeps poping up. and gaiman's "death"; is that the tori amos inspired?
ok. going to try "sandman" again. now i have something to get me through the next weeks of SiP-less-ness.
tank you, tank you.
ps anyone a fan of wonder woman? i loved the tv show, but i never read the comic. perhaps my next move after good ol' neil.

Both Death mini-series are excellent. I recommend them highly.

I think the first Death mini-series was dealt better: it seems like in the second one Gaiman needed one more issue to finish it properly, and not to rush it that way...
Anyway, DEFINITELY the first Death miniseries (The High Cost Of Living). And Bone. SIP and Bone are the only American comics I am currently reading...

*shrugs* Never really liked sandman or bone.
I mean, I understand the appeal, just didn't click my switch.
Try Watchmen or V for Vendetta by Alan Moore. And the early Sin City was really good. Best of all of Miller's work was 300. Plus, Promethea and Red Star(both nominated for tons of Eisenrs....); I mentioned them in the previous thread but they are good enough to repeat.
And if you never read any Howard Chaykin, pick up American Century.

ps-One of my favorite lines from the Maxx was when Sara said 'Death is cold and hard. Not some cute chick'. If you remember, Keith did some early pencils for Sandman.
