    There is an awesome twist at the end of Issue 3! And believe it or not there is already a movie in development (way too early, IMO, but cool I guess).

    Hollywood is currently focusing on most things frank millar or Mark Millar for cool stuff to make since they have a current grasp on variety and new... (tho it sounds like Wanted te movie was nothing like the comic line story)

    ok the universe is still against the Cap'n so let me try attempt #2 here...

    Nice picks Mo!! Way to go off of the mainstream cuff and grab some other very good titles that are definitley great reads! I'm certain you will enjoy Millars Kick-ass (its really something I'm certain you will enjoy). Look forward to you takes on your grab titles... Keep us posted!!

    FYI. Kudos to J for the nice gift!!

    I already ordered the first Dark Towers, so I'll have to get that out of the way.

    How many clones of you are there that you have time to read ANY comics let alone all of those?

    I could use a couple more.

    A $2.99 comic book takes like no time to read...maybe 10 minutes :)

    I imagine Mo has a secret staff of Jolt cola lying around his house... but once baby Olbinski comes into being it'll all stop , kinda like a bad sugar crash...

    Really? Are you calling me a "honky mofo?"

    I've been called worse I guess :)

    Is it really that bad?

    it just leaves something to be desired, the first book is the best. Detta
    Holmes just grated on me. I thought about getting the Stand in GN when it
    comes out. I like to read King and then lament the time lost reading him

    Ohhh, you meant the series itself, not the graphic novels :)

    Yeah, I really don't know if I can finish those books, they just seem so dang long.

    The comic edition seemed like it might go down a bit easier :)
