Master of TOG-fu.

Don't worry about. I can't be mad at everyone who doesn't include DD.... Just Ice... when's Octobers Cover of the month? I swear Ice.... :xthee great one said:I was going to include Redemption. I forgot to include it. Sorry MWoF.
I'm surprised you didn't mention Livewires, as the series is pretty accessible on top of being set in a universe that most of the people here already enjoy. Its accessible for Marvel readers but doesn't require people to be familiar with ONE specific side of the continuity.compound said:I pick Manhattan Guardian for being a very readable mini-series, in spite of the sheer ridiculousness, audacity, and joyful weirdness of it all.
Vimanarana was another stand-out, for similar reasons.
I really enjoyed Black Widow: Homecoming, as well. It wasn't the best-written, or best-crafted mini-series, but definitely maong the most interesting. Rhyo, if you like Sleeper and Wintermen, this ought to appeal to you, if you haven't read it already.

Vinmanarama is great, but I wouldn't wholly recommend it to people who DON'T enjoy the precisely WTF hallmarks of Morrison's style. Philip Bond is ace though. He makes Indians look just as hip as Brits!
D'oh! How dumb of me! It would be a MASSIVE disservice not to bring this up.ourchair said:I'm surprised you didn't mention Livewires, as the series is pretty accessible on top of being set in a universe that most of the people here already enjoy.

That seems pretty ironic, considering that both Rick Mays and Adam Warren have such heavy manga influences. You'd think they would have taken the digest format into consideration, when they were doing the series.Rhyo said:I just picked up the Livewires digest this week and enjoyed it immensely - except for the whole digest thing. I think my copy had a slight color registration problem and it made the small "internal comlink" text boxes almost impossible to read. They'd been drawn for full comics size, meant for glossy paper, and to be reduced to digest size and cheap, coarse paper made the lettering SERIOUSLY unclear.
Well my understanding is that its the microcomputer typeface that suffers the most and the coloring. Maybe whoever handled the translation of color from one paper stock to another ****ed up? :?compound said:That seems pretty ironic, considering that both Rick Mays and Adam Warren have such heavy manga influences.
