Something random

[prog]

I have been, for several years, spending around $0.00 on new comics every month. This despite my oft-professed love for the medium.

I walk past one of the greatest comics stores on the ever-loving non-exploding planet several times a week. I also use the internets a lot.

So, to those who know me at all (or even think they do): recommendations?

I have no idea what you've read, but I'll recommend Finder, by Carla Speed MacNeil, anyway. Because I recommend it to everyone and it's awesome. Props to hissilliness for bringing it to my attention. :)

The only one I buy regularly is Usagi Yojimbo, about a rabbit samuri. It's nifty, not too edgy and a little historic.

i love usagi. i usually wait for the novels, but still buy them religiously.

If you haven't seen them yet, I thought both Persepolis and Persepolis 2 were worth the read. And the Flight anthology looks pretty good (Flight 2 is coming out soon, I think).

Man, everyone's reading my mind because those are my recommendations, too. A lot of these have been collected (and a few come out rather infrequently), so try an issue or two to see if you wanna splurge for them. My recommendations: Bone (which just completed its story line); Finder (the title should appeal to a fellow Machead like you!); Usagi Yojimbo; Persepolis; Blankets; Fables; Promethea; True Story, Swear to God (nice true roamnce); Liberty Meadows; Astro City; American Splendor; Palooka Ville; PvP; Ex Machina; Supernatural Law; Angry Youth Comix; Age of Bronze ...

Oh, uh, obviously I don't know you, so I'm just telling you what *I* really like. I came across your name when you posted a message to one of the other folks I read regularly.

I was wondering how you knew each other.

Hmm... other than saying "everything on the readme shelf", I'm not sure what else (or what specifically) to recommend. Perhaps we should discuss it in person. :)
