Well, yesterday was Disembowelment and Put a Knife Through the Mouth Saturday, what with this, a copy of Ennis's The Boys a colleagues lent me and Morgan's Black Man, which I'm currently 2/3 of the way through. Had to look at pictures of pretty flowers and fluffy bunnies just to restore some form of equilibrium!
Have to admit - Gravel has me hooked, so that's another for my standing order at TM. I thought the art was great, the story compelling and the beginning panels attention grabbing to say the least (of the 'did he really write that?' kind). Nice one.
I'm having a time out until I can learn some manners.
Cool link Oddcult. I can just picture that budget meeting. "Well it sounds iffy but lets throw a couple billion at it and if it works we can start that super soldiers program I just finished reading a proposal for". "Excuse me sir that was my sons Captain America comic you read in the limo over here".
@Macgyver My list is pretty much the standing order that my budget can handle, there are a few books i pick up manually on occasion and Geavel 0 was one of them. Im still pondering it.

I can't wait for comic book day every week. I usually go Friday but my file is usually ready thursday night and tonight I got the DMZ TPB ,the Program and Grendel and the crowning glorythe long awaited Black gas TPB. Both TPB's were based on recommendations from this forum.
Posted to an old thread, it seems. Reposting here:
Hello, all. I am getting the hang of this forum. So different than the Delphi style but I am getting used to it.
I picked up GRAVEL a couple weeks ago. I was pleasantly surprised with the art. That guy has a great EC Comics feel to his stuff. The bookshelf and desk on preview pages for issue 1 just looked dark and dusky and creepy. I would love to see this guy and Fabio Moon do horror comics in the old tradition. I am also happy to see that Gravel still has the look that Wolfer defined for him. The six panel grid has been a hallmark of this series and it is still in effect here. It keeps the pace up, IMO. These were some of my favorite action comics of the past decade.
Anyway, I am in. It was more brutal than I expected. I hope the magic stays cranked up like it has in the last few minis.
