  • is glad he books his Comic-Con hotel when he checks out each year. :) #
  • @robworley you just have to find the hotel that doesn't make you pay till you check out. :D in reply to robworley #
  • Holy shit! Awesome news! http://ping.fm/e3fGy Congrats, Jeff! #
  • @DiaperChamp You'll note I didn't say which hotel I stay at. It's MINE! in reply to DiaperChamp #
  • Kings is fucking stellar. Here's hoping it somehow manages to last. #
  • @TheJohnBarber Monster is quite possibly the greatest work of graphic literature of the past thirty years. So, yeah. #
  • @TheJohnBarber And Pluto is also totally awesome. #
  • @kodychamberlain Yep. You'd shit your pants for Monster. in reply to kodychamberlain #
  • @TheJohnBarber He got a lot better. And if memory serves, the translations on those books were pretty lousy. Monster'll chew you up good. #
  • Josh's other recommended manga: Tezuka's Buddha, Takahashi's Maison Ikkoku, and the so weird it hurts Junji Ito's Uzumaki. #
  • Oh right, and all of the Tatsumi books from D+Q. Abandon the Old in Tokyo is the shit. #
  • @TheJohnBarber I fell off MPD Psycho after the fourth or fifth volume. You may like Gantz (pubbed by Dark Horse), too. #
  • @ramtower Even the painfully repetitive Tomi stuff is still pretty fucking rad. in reply to ramtower #
  • @TheJohnBarber Fair enough. It gets considerably weirder as it goes on. :D Have you jumped into the madness of Osamu Tezuka yet? #
  • @JayRodriguez I did. I want to hug it, I love it so much. #
  • @JayRodriguez I totally forgot volume 2 came out. #
  • @ronsalas I love it. It combines two of my favorite creators in one book. #
  • @CampJim WHA? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! #

Quick Comic Review: Tom Strong vol. 1

March 17, 2009  /  Joshua Fialkov

Tom Strong (Book 1) Tom Strong by Alan Moore

My review

rating: 5 of 5 stars
For some reason, I skipped over the triumvirate of ABC books of which Tom Strong is a part. It's literally everything good about superhero comics in one book. Fun, inventive, light hearted, emotionally resonant, and, best of all, inspiring. Alan Moore is so often though of as dour and miserable, and yet, here we are, with a book that is anything but.

Go. Read it. Now.
