Comics (Boring Headlines FTW)

Just finished a couple of things. Namely, Heavy Liquid, 100 Bullets Volume 2, and the After the Cape mini-series.

Heavy Liquid

Heavy Liquid is pretty good. The only Paul Pope I've read previously is Batman Year 100. I liked both Heavy Liquid and Batman Year 100. I think I like the art in Year 100 better (both comics have crazy awesome art), but then I like the Heavy Liquid story better (both comics have crazy awesome stories). I don't think I will try and do a plot summary of Heavy Liquid because it is pretty complex, but not overtly hard to follow. Batman Year 100 is probably more accessible and readily available to most comics readers so definitely check that out if not both.

100 Bullets Volume 2

Now 100 Bullets is a good comic mind you, but is it really great. I will assuredly read the next trade, but my library only has up to around Volume 7. I wouldn't mind buying the rest (I think V. 11 came out recently) if it's really that good? I hear people are re-reading all their trades to remember what's going on. It could be a damn fine comic so why not re-read 10 trades.

After the Cape

Issue 1 has such a great cover doesn't it? After the Cape is about an alcoholic with super powers who gets kicked off a super hero team well for being an alcoholic. This is mildly recommenced. I picked these 3 issues up for $6, but probably not worth $12 though.

The Spirit # 11

Another great cover by the way, this is a little bit old, but a remarkable issue by my standards. The first 8 issues of the Spirit were really good in my opinion and issue 11 is up there with the best of the bunch. Read this comic if at all possible.
