Let's run..

Wish I could.

I read two really awesome superhero comics recently: Watchmen and Marvels. Watchmen was odd because I had one of the comics show up in my stocking when I was ten or so and I had no idea what it was about, and it was in the middle of the series, so I was very confused. Steve got one too. But this is not a story to read in any order you feel like. Really involved and complicated and nifty.

I got Marvels because of the art. Alex Ross is like a comic book god or something. But the story is really interesting too.

These two go on my list of best superhero stories ever.

Also read recently: One Hundred Demons by Linda Barry. This is a really, really neat idea, and I love the writing too.
