Attn. JMS: Rising Stars Comic
Prestorjon
forward to a Watchmen quality story. It's been a while since
something really good has been published in comics. >>
It depends on what you mean by "a while" There are some very good comics
currently being published although most of them lean more towards four color
action than watchmen-esque darkness.

We dreamed of doing but could not bring ourselves to do,
The fears of years, like a biting whip,
Had cut deep bloody grooves
Across our backs.

There's lots of good stuff out...the new Mage and Grendel books, the Alex Ross
stuff (any of it, definitely liked his latest, Uncle Sam), I've bought but
haven't yet read Kubuki which I hear is also quite good.

JMS, I was just curious, have you read any of the StarShip Troopers
comics? (Or the Robert Heinlen novel?)

It also depends on what genre. The cape-and-tights crowd has seen some marked
improvement since Marvel's bankruptcy (woo-hoo!), but there's also a lot of
really cool stuff happening in fantasy, sf, and assorted manga. The Preacher,
Transmetropolitan, Hellblazer, The Books of Magic, Bone, Strangers in
Paradise, etc., are all really good, and the DC-published ones even come out
regularly.

I'm a-guessin' that JMS has certainly read the novel, since it's pretty much
required reading for any science fiction fan. I also a-guessin' that, since
the comics are based on the execrable movie of the same name, he hasn't
attempted to murder his precious and dwindling brain cells by afflicting them
with the comic book. Hopefully, he also had the wisdom to avoid the movie.
