Just read the first 25 issues of 'Ex Machina' (Brian K. Vaughan- Writer of Saga and Y: The Last Man) today. Really good stuff, obviously. Gonna try to finish the other 25 in the series tonight hopefully. Then, I can catch up on my trades, finally.


Holy shit, 25 in a night is fucking intense

It sure doesn't feel like it when you are reading Vaughan. His writing is addictive. I re-read Saga every couple weeks, and already want to re-read Y: The Last Man!

That's not to bad if you really need 1 issue. Although thats like 2-3 comics, haha.

Was about to buy Kingdom Come TPB and Dark Phoenix Saga TPB at my local. They were having a buy one get one sale. But, those were the only two books I saw. I really sorta wanted the Kingdom Come eventually, but wasn't in a hurry. Heard the Dark Phoenix Saga is worth a read, but just couldn't get past the old Marvel writing style of cheesy plots and sometimes ridiculous dialogues... :/ So, I just ended up buying a couple dollar issues of those "essential" #1's (reprints), so I can make a 'Dark Knight Returns' wallpaper now with the pages. :D

Maybe another time, on those trades...

Okay, soooo, I seriously want to know who said they didn't like 'Ex Machina' but enjoyed 'Saga' and 'Y:The Last Man'... Because, I fucking love 'Ex Machina'! That shit is brilliant to me! BKV's writing is never bad! I'm only on issue #30, but will admit it took a little while to get rolling on the REALLY GOOD plotpoints. But, it does get there relatively quickly. So, I'm just wondering how many of the people that said they read 'Ex Machina' and hated it, read all the way though the series... Cause I'm guessing not many. I don't see how anyone could think this was anything but brilliance...

My god man, have you read issue #23 of 'Saga' yet? Jesus Christ, can BKV write a bad issue in this series? It's like, every month you don't think the story can get any better than it already is. And then, BAM! It just is! So Unreal.

You guys do recommendations as well?

Wouldn't mind reading some comics again.

Used to enjoy:
From Inside
JTHM
Grrl Scouts
Black Heart Billy
Hsu and Chan
Singularity 7
My Monkey's Name is Jennifer
Wormwood
Hellspawn
Creed
....


Relatively diverse list, I guess. If you got something you think I'd enjoy, let me know. Not much of a fan of the superhero genre though.
