--- Quote from: sideways ---I read graphic novels, I don't follow comics.

Sometimes I pick up trades, right as they come out, so I suppose that could be counted as following a comic storyline... but I prefer to have my story all-in-one, or segmented into large volumes.

There with ya, buddy.  Alan Moore trade volumes are fabulous when he's not phoning it in (pun intended).

Mandatory are:
--Top Ten vols. I and II;
--League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (duh);
--V for Vendetta;
--The Watchmen.

His take on Batman, "The Killing Joke" I found subpar, but others have loved it.  Swampman is great, but to my knowledge is not out in trade volumes yet (I might be wrong about this though since I haven't check recently).

For graphic novels, though,  you can't in my opinion do much better than Dan Clowes (duh), and Seth, who writes rather depressed but insightful and hopeful novels for a very famous Canadian outfit called Drawn & Quarterly.  I highly recommend Seth's Palookaville, although you couldn't find more contrast to Frank Miller.

Also -- Larry Marder's Beanworld series, which defies both description & estimation.  Still looking for a complete series to purchase.  Off to ebay :-).

OMG
All Star Batman and Robin the Boy Wonder was fantastic. You really can't do better then Miller's dark take on the Dark Knight and his city as well as Lee's superb pencils. The All Star series is to DC what the Ultimate series is to Marvel. It starts off with Dick's parents being murdered, being carried off by crooked cops and Batman interevening to save him!
I can't wait for more of this!

That is pretty interesting looking, I will have to hunt it down!  

Thanks for letting me know about that Tinjessla, as well as the Filler Bunny release, MAIT.  I just hope that eventually he will go back to the Devi/Nny/Squee storyline at some point.  Man, I wonder what happened to the "moose" from the wall.

You, and every other Jhonen fan, if you want him to make quality stuff, stop buying every shitty thing he makes. Fillerbunny is complete shit. As long as he has money, he never need work again, and he won't.  He's perfectly fine living a somewhat ascetic lifestyle if he can play playstation all day.

I don't read any comics other then QC.
