This is better than "The Dark Knight Returns" & "Watchmen" (both of which are masterpieces.) "American Flagg" was consistently brilliant month after month after month as an ongoing series, not a mini. This is one of the true high water marks for comics and is still way ahead of its time. It manages to be both a brilliant satire of the 1980's & still of...

Nice reveiw, Sonia. It's been awhile since I've read this book, but I have fond memories of it due, mostly, to how far ahead of its time it was, radical even. I hope they put out an Absolute edition as it would be well worth it. This makes a great double feature with Sienkewicz's equally wild-eyed "Stray Toasters" from the '80's. Have you read that one Sonia?

Yep, the dense storytelling of "Loveless" all but requires that you read it in trades. Of course, now that the book has been canceled that point is moot. I read it in issues and after each one I would say to myself WTF is going on? Who are these people? Then, I sat down and read them all together and then they began to make themselves clear (or clearer.) The fact that Vertigo canceled...

One other point, the article's author laughs about how Hollywood is making an "Ant-Man" movie while failing to note it is being written and directed by Edgar Wright of "Spaced", "Shaun of the Dead" & "Hot Fuzz" fame. You think maybe the people producing the movie understand its possibly comic elements?

Add me in with those that actively despise Lapham's work. I hate to say that but after being pummeled by his arcs on Detective & the Spectre I'm just enraged whenever I see his name (& I tend to like dark stories). No way would I buy this. Never.

Uh, oh. Also, doesn't help that the release date is during that graveyard of movie month's known far and wide as "January". Uh, oh.  

I've been reading "Hellblazer" since issue #1. I'm really surprised when I hear how much people hate the Azzarello run. It's one of my favorite runs on any series. Great stuff. I didn't care much for Mike Carey's take on Constantine, but I should probably re-read his run before coming to a final conclusion. If you haven't read the initial Ennis issues, get'em now!
