Deep Living American Batman Circles

[maribou]

Batman: Earth One, by Geoff Johns et al
A more "realistic" retelling of the Batman story. Oddly moving.
(86, O26)

Living with Shakespeare, edited by Susannah Carson
Lots and lots and lots of essays about the importance of Shakespeare in individual lives, by actors and writers and comic book artists and some other people. Some of them were brilliant (here's lookin' at you, James Earl Jones), a few were a bit tedious, but overall it was a satisfying assortment.

Circles of Time, by Phillip Rock
Still with the melodrama, still with the awesome, still with the "wow, Downton Abbey owes a LOT to this series."
(89)

American Vampire, vol. 1, by Scott Snyder, Rafael Albuquerque, and Steven King
Intriguing, complicated, pretty and gory and archetypal. I liked the alternating timelines.

Skin Deep, vol. 1: Orientations, by Kory Bing
Friendly, playful, imaginative - I'm hooked on the free webcomic now, but I prefer book format for deciding whether I like a comic or not...

ohai

i'm weird, every time i see "jeff" spelled as "geoff", i insist on pronouncing it "jee-ohf"

geoffrey is always "geo-frey" first part being like the car, the latter being like the last name of the guy who sang "the heat is on"

I wouldn't necessarily agree, but I'll concede it's in the top 20.
