Ahhhh, just finished re-reading the AWESOME Evan Dorkin/Jill Thompson Graphic Novel BEASTS OF BURDEN: ANIMAL RITES, oh how I love this series!!!! Was even better the second time around as I now know and love all of the characters and could take the time to examine all the little things Thompson draws in her pictures that make the comic such a joy to look at!
My friend has a young daughter who is just getting into reading stuff of the sci-fi/fantasy/comic genre (the George O'Connor/Rick Riordan-ish Mythology stuff, to be precise) and we've been scrambling to find new things for her to give her daughter to check out. I re-read this, thinking it would be a GREAT book to give her,(I love this book so much!) but my friend said her daughter had already watched the movie and wasn't much interested in reading a comic version. Oh Well.
Just felt like re-reading the excellent Warren Ellis/JH Williams TPB Desolation Jones: Made in England again. Man, this is such a great comic, such a shame they dropped the strip after this arc. Still, at least it's kind of a contained story that you can read and enjoy without worrying about it having a huge unresolved ending.
