that's awesome, gabe. not that you'll see me saying so anytime soon, but still. awesome!
i went on a buying spree. and i'm pouring through & reading slowly. highlights thus far (pulling images from all over the place so i hope they show):
Mesmo Delivery i was killing myself trying to get a copy of it since it came out. luckily ivan brandon had put some out & i was able to pick one up. goddamn! it's good. the way the guy incorporates design into the story telling; it's nuts!
Crogan's Vengeancenot the kinda thing i'd generally be into but i really enjoyed this. the guy does a lot of research & uses a crazy family tree to set up awesome potential for further stories with all sorts of characters.
Jersey Godskirby new gods style heroes & villains land in jersey. duke it out in the cherry hill mall. drawn by dan mcdaid who as an artist is quick & awesome, & beyond that, a really cool guy. there were some samples of it in popgun vol 2
and of course
Sushi Nachos!andre's story of an aspiring sushi chef working as a delivery boy & surviving alien attacks; with the awesome cityscapes & paints you'd expect
oh & the new scott pilgrim. the shiny one.
oh & a shitton of art & sketchbooks. cameron stewart, jim mahfood, takehiko inoue, & even a book full of storyboards, & animation keyframes from the first episodes of Gurren Lagann. i'd highly recommend that, only it's not a comic. so not in this thread. even though i just did.
and WHAT THE FUCK? 'oooh alan moore this... watchmen that' where's the love for dave gibbons? he's the one that made that shit work. AND he co-created
Rogue Trooper!
the man deserves at least some mention! s'all i'm sayin'
