schmericaSO. COMICS, HUH? So that's what you've been talking about for the past, you know, five years!
...I mean.
Okay, so I read the complete run of Sandman and The Dark Knight Returns and a bunch of other random stuff a couple years back, but this last week I have read:
Age of Bronze: a Thousand Ships; Age of Bronze: Sacrifice; Green Arrow: Quiver; Y The Last Man: Unmanned and the first half of Alias Omnibus. And, uh, possibly more Y the Last Man is on the way. And Runaways. And a bunch of random individual comics, too. Um. *cries* Is this fandom supposed to be so expensive?
So I guess my question now is: what next? Tell me what I should read! Graphic novels are good, current series, past issues and excitingness. And what can anyone of you tell me about sharing or downloading issues? I am under the impression that torrents aren't incredibly useful?
...If I were smart, I would have gotten fascinated by comics at a time when I was up in Portland so I could make Livia and Zee dump everything to read in my lap in their apartment. Hmmph.
ON A DIFFERENT NOTE: I saw Superman Returns today with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
speshope, and it was ridiculously, shockingly visually glorious. However, I refer you all back to my requirements for fictional love triangles! To wit: please either have one leg of the triangle be uncompletely unsuited for each or make one of them a bastard, OR make all three of them easily smooshable into a nice OT3 scenario. Otherwise -- and this is the case in Superman Returns -- it is all MUCH TOO STRESSFUL.
