I haven't got through enough of it to be at the recommending stage, but I'm enjoying it a lot more than is sensible! The other day I was reading it on the bus and a random guy said to me, "Ooh, Preacher! That's the fuckin shit!" which I suppose is a good thing!

Oh man, that is a thing I'd love to read. I think I've got the first issue somewhere, but I have no idea where.

What Chris said. Except I have zero issues. Mega sad face.

I can loan 'em to you by mail if you don't think that too impractical. They are awesome. Bill Mesner Loebs wrote them with a various artists. I'm about half way through and it is the best Johnny Quest ever. I like even more than the original animated series (which is the only previous work they acknowledge) and i didn't think that possible.

I liked Constantine.

I think people pick on that movie for the wrong reasons, because (while it probably shouldn't have had anything to do with "Hellblazer") it really was a pretty well made flick.

Take the Hellblazer connection out of the equation and there's almost nothing to dislike in that movie. Unless you just hate Keanu for some reason, which I guess is a thing people do.

I've been reading Hitman for the first time slowly over the last few months. While it's been so good that I'd have liked to have read it all in a week, I've purposely been pacing myself to appreciate the tension Ennis built.

I just finished up Hellboy: Darkness Calls and started on The Wild Hunt. There's really no such thing as a bad Hellboy comic, but man, these are pretty awesome. Sadly, I've already had the ending of The Fury ruined for me, so thanks a lot, internet.

I am quite literally YEARS behind on the Hellboy world, and I am now scared to death of stumbling across this huge spoiler every one keep mentioning before i catch up.

HELLBOY IS ACTUALLY HITLER!

Wait that's not the spoiler.
That's not even true.

That works for me. I'll take good care of them and send them back quickly.

Just do what I did (at the behest of many) and start with Darkness Calls.

Right now I'm making my way through Booster Gold and hating Dan Jurgens' art and dialog, but loving the series. I've also been reading Generation X for the first time, which is surprising me by how awesome it still is in 2011.

My list of stuff to catch up on is crazy, but it includes:
Morrison's Animal Man and Doom Patrol
Milligan's X-Force and X-Statix
Simonson's Thor
Brubaker's Daredevil
Giffen & DeMatteis' Justice League
Byrne's She Hulk and Fantastic Four
and pretty much everything Jack Kirby did after leaving Marvel in the early 70s.

Oh man, the Bachalo/Lobdell issues of Gen X are GOLD, and almost no one knows it. It's sad. It all falls apart around issue 25 or 26, though, which kinda stinks.

That is a SOLID "To Read" list.
