I will not have much to do over the next week or so but read and review comics. Which comics would you, the readers of STC’s ADDTF, like me to read and review? Post your requests in the comments (they’re slow as shit, so be patient). If I have it I will try to read and review it. (NOTE: Please do not request a comic you yourself made or edited or published mmkay?)
any of the warren ellis or garth ennis avatar comics. plzplzplzplzplzplzplzplzplzplzplz
Multiforce!
RAWBONE by Jamie Delano and company. An Avatar joint.
AVENGERS ANNUAL #10 from 1980.
RUNOFF by Tom Manning.
Any of Grant Morrison’s DOOM PATROL RUN or FLEX MENTALLO.
QUARANTINE (not a comic, but I’d love to read your take on it.)
ZIGGY STARDUST THE MOVIE.
Yes, I’m going off-message with the last two. I shall submit my agonizer to you. Be gentle.
Taboo is the first thing that comes to mind. Or: Mark Beyer? Gorey? Gyo? City of Glass? Born Again? Fourth World? any of those would be rad!
Urasawa’s Pluto.
Recent issues of Savage Dragon.
Just glancing at your sidebar, I don’t see any reviews of anything by Richard Sala. Hey, he’s a Fantagraphics guy, and you love most of their output, right? If you just want to dip your toe in, I’d recommend GRAVE ROBBER’S DAUGHTER or PECULIA AND THE GROON GROVE VAMPIRES; to plunge in at the deeper end, MAD NIGHT or CHUCKLING WHATSIT. I’d be really interested to hear your take on any of these.
And speaking of comparing notes, I’ll be checking out my first Hernandez soon–SPEAK OF THE DEVIL, which I see you have reviewed. Probably not the place most people would recommend for me to start with Los Bros, but it’s the first one where the premise intrigued me enough to actually give it a look.
Enjoy your read-a-thon!
Squadron Supreme!
Mary Perkins On Stage
Steve Gerber’s run on The Defenders
any one of Steve Weissman’s Yikes books
some random issues of The Badger
Chester Gould’s Dick Tracy
I second the Doom Patrol/Flex Mentallo nom. Both of which I was planning on re-reading in the near future.
I second Pluto and also throw in 20th Century Boys. Really, any manga reviews would be cool.

Casanova
Marvel Boy
