The Filth17 reviews Grant Morrison Vertigo, 2004 Man, it's incredible + Give a hand for "The Filth" + Morrison "A" Material + Graphic SF Reader + The Filth, by Grant Morrison             Dogs and Water1 review Anders Nilsen Drawn and Quarterly, 2007 AH YES, my brain feels good Anders's first big publication through Drawn and Quarterly. To be honest, I have plenty of friends that can't deal with minimalist and simplified style, but to me his linework REALLY opens up a complexity of space and organization rarely seen in comics today. This story reads a lot like a dream, ...             Exit Wounds11 reviews Rutu Modan Drawn and Quarterly, 2007 A subtle satire of family life, complicated and satisfying. + One of the best GNs of 2007 + Entry wounds. I have to disagree with the other reviewers on the artwork. The art in Exit Wounds is subtle, quiet, but it's gorgeous. I was first captured by the colors--mostly muted but with very carefully situated splashes of brightness for a beautiful punch. The color combinations are absolutely evocative of ...             Like a Velvet Glove Cast in Iron21 reviews Daniel Clowes Fantagraphics Books, 1998 Lost in dream + Dark, weird, and great. + disturbing I am a fairly recent Clowes fan (I've been reading for a couple years...started with Ice Haven). And as with most work I love, I tend to pleasure-delay other works by the artist. That said, I read David Boring at the beginning of the year, and just picked up and went through Like a Velvet Glove ...             Heavy Liquid8 reviews Paul Pope Vertigo, 2001 Best of the best + Weight indeed + One of the best graphic novels I've ever read I wish I saw this novel on more Top 10 lists, but oh well. Nevertheless, I demand that you buy this book right now, and with the hefty discount Amazon is providing, you can't afford to pass this up! With a cover price of 30 beans, I can understand why some would balk initially at purchasing this, ...             The Three Paradoxes3 reviews Paul Hornschemeier Fantagraphics Books, 2006 Good Trip + One to ponder... Ok, so everyone's favorite game these days is to bash Hornshemeier for being a Ware ripoff. Honestly, people either aren't looking close enough or completely miss the point. I found his latest collection of work to be profoundly gripping and fluid in a way that I don't think I've ever read ...             Monologues for the Coming Plague2 reviews Anders Nilsen Fantagraphics Books, 2006 He's excavated the laugh nugget + Notes from a Sketchbook Artist Reading this book is like watching an artist have fun. These are from a sketchbook, I believe, and read fairly quickly. But I find myself laughing alone ALL THE TIME whenever I pick this up. If you want some fun, sardonic and surreal giggles, this is the one. I believe the work could probably ...             Tank Girl10 reviews Alan Martin Titan Books, 2002 LOVED the comic! + The Very Essence of Awesomeness + The Symbol for the British Counterculture of the 90's I loved this comic! I want to see more women depicted this way in comics. Why aren't more out there like this.             Like a Velvet Glove Cast in Iron21 reviews Daniel Clowes Fantagraphics Books, 1998 Lost in dream + Dark, weird, and great. + disturbing I am a fairly recent Clowes fan (I've been reading for a couple years...started with Ice Haven).
