Snyder's current Batman stuff is mindblowing - and I wouldnt even be the biggest fan of the character.

I'm really enjoying his run, loved the Black Mirror arc and the current Death In The Family is fucking brillaint. He's become one of those writers that I will buy simply because his name is attached.

Some of my best work in football mags was in those years! Football memorabilia is worth money 50 years down the line - if it's mint. Look at the demand for Charles Buchan's Football Monthly - check this site: http://www.soccerbilia.co.uk/

Edited to add: Bloody hell one of the mags I did (Striker) is on there at £3.95 an issue - I had everyone of them until I moved house, plus masses of SuperReds, Liverpool Monthlies and the like

I think I have a few Strikers from that period as well, I might save them until I become a grandad then :lol:

Agreed! And I'm not even really that interested in Batman. I've read all the classics and some less than classics.

The aul pull list is getting bigger and bigger at this stage. 23 different ongoings and trade-waiting on rakes of stuff.

The last week for examply just blinding. Saga for example - HOW GOOD is that book?!

Anyone who likes/liked reading comics should give "Saga" a go. Its glorious in ever way.

What style is it? What's it similar to? Does it use any traditional characters?

I'm going to repeat my recommendation of Sweetooth. It's overtaken Walking Dead as my favourite currently running series now.

Romeo & Juliet meets Star Wars scripted by Tarantino.

They are both fucking crazy. Morrison winds me up though, while Moore just entertains me (mostly). The preachy self-introduction to the first Animal Man trade is disgusting and made me want to slap Morrison. After that I don't think I can bring myself to buy another trade by him, despite how good the best of his work can get.

Moore is a creep. He has a twisted obsession with using rape as a plot device.

However, he's a far more consistent writer than Morrison. Morrison's peak matches Moore's, but he spaces out, gets incredibly referential to things way beyond the current run and diverts into tangents that are exaggeratedly weird for the sake of trying to show himself as superior.

Edit: Jump said it better.

Morrison has an endearing level of tenderness and sensitivity that comes through in his writing. I fail to see any of this in Moore's work. It seems to me so devoid of warmth so as to make Miller's work look like something Bob Zemekis cooked up.

Yes, Morrison is an egomaniac. But he is giving of himself. Supergods is a profoundly honest work.

I think Moore is a pretty sad and self deluded shambles at this stage.

Like the endless preaching about animal rights that pervades through most of his work?

Swamp Thing has more bittersweet tenderness than I've read in everything Morrison's done put together. Hell Neonomicon has some sensitivity and that's just plain twisted.

The Moore vs Morrison argument would be a lot better if it was about which one is crazier rather than which one is the better writer.

I'm actually buying the collected Swamp Thing editions at the moment.

Both are batshit. Gaiman's better than either.

Have fun with that. I love Swamp Thing so much.

I've read 50/60% of Sandman. First 5 trades. Dunno why but it never really clicked. Its one of the only "canon" runs that I've only half of on the shelf. Normally if I get the first trade/hardcover I'll get them all. But Sandman just sits there sneering at me every day.

Bar "Good Omens", which I realise is only partly written by him, and the first half of "Sandman" I don't think I've read anything else by Gaiman. His stuff doesnt grab me, lads, sorry. Don't have the patience for it or something.

    • Same here, when the lineup dropped it looked very strong but this year I’m considering more whether I buy tickets for enjoyment or fomo.   Speaking of that dilemma, I caved and bought a Turnstile Piece Hall ticket so I’ll see you there 😂
