The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen Century: 1910 was pretty fantastic. Alan Moore has a really big hard on for the Three Penny Opera, though, doesn't he?

I enjoyed that a lot, but I think I would have gotten more out of it if I knew more (slash anything) about the cultural references he's making.  I felt the same way about Black Dossier.  I could follow along with most of Vols 1/2, but after that, I got a little lost.

Also, as a rule, i really don't like music in comics, I don't think I've ever seen it done in a way that makes any sense to my brain (though clearly others feel differently, so i'm willing to accept that it's a personal thing).

Ok, I just took 2 longboxes to a (not my primary) LCS, and they offered me $60 for two full longboxes, which obviously I wasn't that into.  So some chunks are going on eBay, and I'm going to give the rest away for free.  Watch this space!

*update*

Ok, the for-sale list is up here if anyone wants to jump on that with an offer pre-ebay : http://tinyurl.com/pnf9f5  (links to PDF)

I've also got a full longbox of free comics I'm giving out.  I'll be splitting them randomly between everyone that wants some.  DM me with your address if you want in.  You get a double-share if you send me something, literally anything interesting you want, but this isn't required.

That looks pretty good to me.  This sort of thing has been tried before -- Bagge did a Spider-Man comic, and DC did a couple of those Bizarro hardcovers of indie comics guys doing DC characters.  Like any anthology, Bizarro was hit or miss, but I'm definitely getting this.

Oh, good heavens. I didn’t realize. I send my condolences out to the rest of the O’Connor family.

Yeah I was about to say, I've seen a lot of this stuff before haven't I?


And I have!

I met Lowell Cunningham at a birthday party. Anybody know him? Seemed like a nice guy, kind of quiet.

The Incorrigible Hulk, which was meant to be his follow-up to The Megalomaniacal Spider-Man, is finally coming out in serialized form in these comics. At this point I had assumed I'd never end up seeing it, so that alone would get me to buy it (fortunately, the other talent assembled is unbelievable, too).

Is that Rob Zombie book any good? I just got Greek Street and was unimpressed.

Spookshow is a lot like Devils Rejects and House Of 1000 Corpses.  It is full of reoccurring characters also.
