Ok guys ... please tell me there are people here tha are reading some of the best comics out there, that are NOT Marvel/DC. Freshmen - If you have missed this series, just kick yourself in the ass ... go ahead. Best damn book out there right now. Fell - $1.99 for a great comic ? You better be reading this. Great "harder edge" comic with art that fits ... and under 2 bucks ? You have to read it. Hunter Killer - If this damn thing would ever come out again  ... X-fans should love this book. Loveless - Western. Anyone that likes Deadwood ... and if you don't, what the hell? ... will love this book. very promising start. Spawn - Yep, the joke of Image is now back on top . New direction and art has this puppy singing again. Check these out !!! |

I picked up the first issue of Loveless. Not bad. I'm not terribly fond of Azzarello, but he writes a nice gritty Western. Which is good. We could use some more good Western comics out there.  Haven't been following the others, though I hear good things about Freshmen. |

Steve,
If you like well written, character driving stories with humor ... do yourself a favor, and go find Freshmen #1 and #2 ... then, if you like buy the rest. It is Fantabulous.

Fell has been solid. Not knocking my socks off yet, and I am very leary of Ellis nowadays after having been burnt by his work so often, but it has been decent. The extras section has been a bit underwhelming though: if there's 6 informational pages, I want them dense. The letters in the last issue felt like in the way they were laid out was to take up as much of those 6 pages as possible. Pack the info in there, not make it sparse.
Although, to be honest, I am looking forward to Matt Fraction's Casanova in the same format as Fell a bit more, pretty much solely based on that ad they've ran for it on the back of Fell. That seems a bit more up my alley than the slightly more reality based Fell, in that me loves the psychadelic action (Seven Soliders, Godland, New Gods)

Yeah, Casanova looked sweet. Gabriel Ba art, iirc.

Eh. I read the Image Comics HC and #150, flipped through 151. It did look like they were actually moving forward, though. |

I have read Freshmen and Hunter/Killer and yes both are very good. Tales of Bloody Mary Kolchak 100 Girls The Gift the Necromancer These are all great titles you should check out. The Complete collection of Bone is a great read as well. There are lots of comics out there not from Marvel or DC that are well worth checking out. Richard Vasseur www.jazmaonline.com |

Necromancer is really good. I love the poor heroine doing all those things without knowing how or why |

... X-fans should love this book.
