I'm re-reading the Scott Pilgrim comic series at the moment. I love Bryan Lee Omally's sense of humour and drawing style. I definitely want to get this, but I'll wait until I can afford the colour rereleases. |

Yeah my friend is buying the colours at the moment and they look really nice. I'm sticking with the black and white ones for now since I have the first 3 in black and white, and want to collect them all in the same format.

I want the colour ones because they're in hardcover, and I like putting my comics up on a bookshelf. (Maybe I can add 'em to my birthday list...)

I keep my scott pilgrim ones up on my bookshelf haha. Even in softcover you can do that. But the hardcover ones are much nicer, I do admit that.

The Sandman: If you don't read anything else on this list read Sandman. Seriously, for all the hype Watchmen gets this is possibly the single greatest series in all of comics(there's some debate there, and it's usually better to include a wualifier like 'fantasy comics' or something, but I want you all to read it so I won't). It centers on Dream of the Endless, one of seven eternal beings about as old as the universe with immense power, as he adjusts to life after many decades in captivity and the realization that one must always change or die. The series starts out kind of wonky but it soon finds its feet and engrosses you in an amazing world. Technically this one takes place in the DC universe too, but aside from one major villain and a few heroes appearing early on and a few cameos toward the end you'd barely know it. YES. Read the Sandman, always and forever. It actually changed my life. Neil Gaiman is amazing. |

Hahahhaa, I should really look into sandman then!
Also in a comic grab bag I got a comic called The Authority
does anyone know if that is a good series? I literally have no idea what it is...But the cover artwork weirds me out a bit, hahaha.
I was told that it was good...by a not so reliable source...(he has a questionable taste in literature.

It depends on who was writing it at the time. Warren Ellis' run on the Authority is supposed to be pretty good, everyone afterwards I've heard less than favorable reviews. Also it depends on how much you like superhero deconstructionism type stories because that's the kind of thing that makes the series good from what I'm told.
