What Are You Currently Reading: Comics

It's crazy OMGish, and it kind of cements Final Crisis as one of the great crossovers ever.

Well I did read the spoiler, Feev, and I can assure you that you will hate yourself if you read it.

I've been following Final Crisis ever since I learned that it was going to tie into the Batman R.I.P story arc, and I have to say that if you're not a huge DC fan (such as myself/ I only read Batman/ Go Marvel!), you'll more often than not be asking yourself 'WTH is going on?!'. At this point I'm only still collecting the FC series because I don't want to leave it unfinished, but I'm not sure if I'm willing to start purchasing DN for fear of dwelling even deeper into the warm thrill of confusion. The only DC I see myself following in 09 is the Batman/Batman Detective and the 3 issue mini-series Battle for the Cowl.

After Final Crisis 6, I think you're gonna be following a lot more books than just the Batmans.

My wallet really can't afford me reading more comics. :cry:

Has anyone been reading The Mice Templar? I was looking to see if anyone posted anything about it but couldn't find anything. For some reason, it is beyond awesome to me.

I read the first issue of Mouse Templar and didn't like it. The story was too distracting, too much backstory all at once, and the art made it difficult to see which mouse was which.

Now, Mouse Guard on the other hand, EXCELLENT!

I agree with you, the art makes it really hard to distinguish which mouse is which. I read the first one and was only mildly into it, but now after a few issues I really love it.

Give Mouse Guard a try. Everything I found I didn't like with Templar was the opposite with Guard.

I just finished Seven Soldiers. It's freaking amazing.
It makes me wonder why people distrust Grant Morrison. This, The Filth, The Invisibles, and Flex Mentallo all came together beautifully at the end. I just think that all the people whining about Final Crisis aren't aware that Morrison's a

Thanks, man.

Aaahhh. Gracias.

After a break from the series to read other stuff (including Watchmen), I'm back to reading Gaiman's The Sandman. First time through the series. I'm on Volume 8: Worlds' End. :thumbsup:

Probably my favorite work of literature ever (the series, not just Worlds' End). Can't wait to hear what you thought about it!

There are 10 volumes to Sandman, right?

yea, there are 10

I finished Volume 8 last night. I loved it.

Not really a spoiler:

Spoiler:

I have a sinking feeling that I figured out who the funeral was for.

Hope I'm wrong - so don't tell me.

I've been buying these books one or two in advance so I'm always ready to start the next after finishing the last. But when I checked, damn it, I don't have Volume 9 yet.

Well now you can get 9 and 10 together! :D

Oh, most definitely, Feev. Probably on Wednesday when the next issues of certain King-related comics are released.

According to the Diamond Comics website the new issue of Treachery is due tomorrow, as is the new issue of The Stand.

I just started reading this as well. Although I'm only about half way thru the first vol.

How do you like it so far, Heather?
