hi, just wanna ask you guys about the comics you read.

for me, it used to be spidey, until they came up with the splitting up crap of 'spectacular/amazing/tales,etc', my pocket couldnt afford it:mad:.

now, its more of the art of the comic that i buy, stuff like alex ross',joe mad and joe Q. how bout you guys?

I don't like marvel and this superheroes...(maybe because i am one myself...urgh...bad joke, but my hand was faster :))

I am more with the franco-belgique style like Franquin, Turk & de Groot...

I also like funny-art comix, f.e. Lewis Trondheim, Bones - Jeff Smith, Calvin&Hobbes - Bill Watterson etc.

And of course caricatures in L-Manyak or Lombak ;) Insiders will know...

Thus I want MORE comic-art here! :mad:

HELLBOY!

Also the Sandman stuff. I get lots of Vertigo titles. Just got a couple Lucifer TPB. Before that I picked up the Metabarons and the new Inhuman collections. Gotta love Ross though.. Earth X is one of my favorites.

Edit: Gotta add a link to the Inhumans book I'm talking about:

link (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0785107533/qid=1045510123/sr=8-1/ref=sr_8_1/104-2127674-5335903?v=glance&s=books&n=507846)

.. because I love the artwork in here (although the cover doesn't really show the quality inside). Get it if you can (and you trust my tastes :D)

Sandman's artwork is typically not the greatest (although sometimes it wasn't bad at all) but the stories are superb.

And I love both the artwork in Hellboy and the stories.

I usually don't read many comics but I recommend Appleseed by Masamune Shirow. Pretty nice style.

Of course I read Donald Duck, Asterix, Lucky Luke and so on in former times ;)

I also like French and Belgian comics, especially Tim & Struppi (the name here in germany. the original title is somehow like "Tintin") by Hergé, which has really amazing realistic paintings and Spirou, Gaston and so on :)
