The OT Book Club! American Gods wins! ROUND 2 (COMICS) VOTING! READ OP

[QUOTE="Aljosa23"]

[QUOTE="Mithrandir50"] I am probably the most comic-versed on this board though. I will take nominations for the final 2 spots. Watchmen, V, and We3 are staying though. Mithrandir50

[QUOTE="dave123321"]Let me select the choices for the comic round. People can offer nominationsMithrandir50

Maus, definitely Maus.

Give me some real recommendations, guys. 

So far we have Maus and Pikachu.  Maus is fantastic.  Pikachu... is not.

i know, it's my favourite rendition of batman.

i actually just caught up recently and now am keeping up to date with vol 2. these next couple of issues are gonna be great. i just know morrison is gonna come full circle with the story and blow our minds

I would suggest The Sandman but I suspect it's too long for what we want here.chessmaster1989

[QUOTE="Mithrandir50"] Morrison's Batman is so frikkin good. Mithrandir50

seriously, all the other batman books out right now just pale in comparison

i'm hoping to get the morrison variant for 13 (or is it 12?) as well

[QUOTE="MakeMeaSammitch"]

[QUOTE="Laihendi"] That is not reasoning at all. Reason is the faculty that identifies and integrates the material provided by man's senses. Ayn Rand's entire philosophy is based on reason.

Laihendi

therefore ayn rand is worse than Hitler.

[QUOTE="rocinante_"]

[QUOTE="Mithrandir50"] Yeah, the solicit for issues 13 (his last) is epic. "Batman saves the world and loses everything." Nothing flashy or gimmicky, just straight up. Morrison is my favorite comic writerMithrandir50

his run gets better and better every time i reread it. that's when you know it's a classic

Love this page from Morrison's Batman:

 And from his All Star Superman:

[QUOTE="Guybrush_3"]

[QUOTE="Mithrandir50"] Lai, I voted for Of Mice and men this time. I lost too. It doesn't matter. I will be reading both. I urge you to do the same. I also urge you to stay active in this thread, we really would appreciate your input on AG. But I am in charge of this book club. You have the film club. Don't let that die. Next round is Graphic Novels anywaysMithrandir50

OOO, a graphic novel sounds fun. Just not the Watchmen because everyone and their dog has already read it.

i'll always remember that page from all-star superman

meh,imo monster is pretty overrated.

story didn't draw me in, only one or two bearable charactors and the ending was pretty bad.

[QUOTE="jeremiah06"][QUOTE="Mithrandir50"] I will put it in the poll. But remember, I am willing to change the poll if enough people cry out. Pretty much going to do Watchmen, V for Vendetta, We3, Dark Knight Returns, All Star Superman.frannkzappa
