This is sublime issue to issue. Bravo.

I agree last issue was one of the best single issues of the year.

I really had fun with the literary/historical angle of the last issue. Awesome series so far.

Everyone one of these posts is entirely correct. Please continue the trend.

1, 3, & 5 were increasingly brilliant. 2 & 4 not so much...

The last issue was great. I even read it twice, which I rarely do. After this issue, I might just switch over to trade.

After Lucifer, Carey's been hit or miss for me. But I think he's back on track with this series.

I love how good this is issue to issue. Only Vertigo book that's working for me on that level.
I think at this point, I can say, without any doubt, that this is going to be one of those books that we're going to look back on as fondly as Preacher and Y.

I love this book. This may be a top 5 ongoing book for me at this point. I love the tie to "Childe Roland to the Dark Tower Came" by Browning. Excellent poem.

This is my favorite ongoing right now, which is saying alot because there's a lot of stuff I'm really enjoying these days. You can just tell this series is gonna be big, like a good Vertigo book should be.

Aweful french writing. most of it don't make any fucking sense. Don't write in french if you can't write in french.

@drakedangerz: Is your favourite movie Mean Girls? you know english is the dude's second language, right? give him a brake.
Anyway, Great book! It's really improving

@EDWARD. Is English your 2nd language??? If not, you should know that there is no "U" in the word "FAVORITE" @DRAKE & STUCLACH, even more hilarious IRONY!!!! HaHaHaHaHa!!!!!
Just read the 1st six issues 2night. Original concept, very entertaining. Solid B+
Posted by Osyris on 10/15/09 at 10:42 PM
@Osyris: yep, you zing me good there.
i don't want to turn this into a whole thing but the UK spelling of favourite has a "u". you're a genius
Posted by edward on 10/15/09 at 11:49 PM

Posted by Osyris on 10/16/09 at 02:46 AM
@Osyris I think you mean, "I knouw."
Posted by B on 10/16/09 at 03:17 AM
@edward thanx @Osyris even I knew that and I never had one english class in my life. Hahahaha!
We're on a fucking funny book site, who fucking cares about typos, grammar and syntax? We can't even edit our post!
Posted by rockingeek on 10/16/09 at 09:27 AM
@Oryris: ha ha. that's quite funny then
Posted by edward on 10/18/09 at 05:28 PM
Im not from the UK or from France, im American. i was taught in American schools. Taught to speak American English, not UK English. Why on earth should i be expected to know that??? The real irony of this whole situation is that you're attacking me for something that u just defended someone else for.
Posted by Osyris on 10/19/09 at 12:01 PM
Who the fuck's from France????
Posted by rockingeek on 10/19/09 at 02:39 PM
This is great stuff.
Posted by theegreatone on 10/19/09 at 03:02 PM
How do you top last issue? This series has been a really nice surprise from a writer who I haven't liked for a good 2 years now.
