read ultimatum.

what a piece of shit. lots of pointless deaths.

I've been reading Battle Angel Alita. 5 volumes into it now. loads more to go.
The art is amazing and I'm surprised at how good the story is too.
I watched the OAV a lot years ago but the comics make a lot more sense.

transmet is fantastic.

Has any read Akira? I read that a while ago from the library. One of the best reading experiences in my life.

Yeah i think I read 4 of the 6 Akira books from the library. I've watched the movie like 30 times since the 90's.
It really is an amazing comic. I ended up keeping it for too long and got a $70 library fine like a retard and couldn't get the rest of the books out.

I real all of Osamu Tezuka's 'Buddha' from the library. I thought it might be boring and preachy or something but it is just an amazingly well paced and interesting story. It's long, there's about 10 books or so. There is an anime being made for it, or maybe it's out already but the trailer didn't look very good at all.


here's a new action scene with Batman

Yeah I was the one that got those Buddha books into the library. I enjoyed them somewhat. But for some reason I can never really get into Tezuka's comics. I keep trying to force myself to like them cos he's the Grand Daddy of manga. But I dunno why I just can't.

Thanks for getting them in... you philistine.

Speaking of the library. That place really has an amazing selection of comics. Aside from their Marvel and DC selection they have choice stuff from Hernandez bros, Jim Woodring, Crumb etc. We are really very blessed.

Their manga collection is shit though.

they've got some stuff by Chris Ware too like Jimmy Corrigan, the Smartest Kid on Earth.
I went into the young adults section the other day and found out that's where they keep all the marvel collections and stuff. there's LOADS of it.

(we are talking about the wellington library aye? do you live in welly?)

[originaljulz]

Lol I don't think you guys are even talking about the same library, yet alone the same city.

[CrazyMobius]

Yeah nah, I was talking about the Auckland Library a. Awesome comics collection.
