So there's already a comics thread of course, but what about comics of the longer, less humorous variety? There's got to be some people here who have more than a passing interest in comics.
A little while ago I picked up MW by Osamu Tezuka, under the misconception that it was written by the guy who wrote Monster, Naoki Urasawa, then I got home and opened it up and it was pretty obvious the art style wasn't Naoki's. Fortunately, despite being written by the creator of Astro Boy, MW turned out to be every bit as haunting and unsettling as I hoped. Turns out it also heavily influenced Monster, so I guess I got what I wanted, it also turned me to more of Osamu Tezuka's works, Black Jack in particular is pretty fantastic.
Anyone been reading anything good lately?
(So I'm pretty sure there's already a manga thread, I'd rather keep the discussions in this thread related to shorter, non-serialized works, not that I have any authority, but yeah, if you can, please avoid talking about the latest chapter of One Piece or Naruto or Bakuman or anything like that)
