    The Crow. This book had a profound impact on me at the time I read it. I was going through a very tough period in my life and found this work. HUGE impact.

    Actually, yes I do, but can't decide yet.

    I love the Crow GN. It's brilliant.

    I just connect more with the L&R characters.

    Wow. Just... wow. You passed up The Crow for Tank Girl. Brandon Lee for Lori Petty. Only here could Lori Petty beat Brandon Lee. Well, here and at a lesbian singles bar.
