High Society

Finished up High Society... I really liked it. I really shouldn't had read them out of order... might go back and reread the book 3 & 4 again... or might just skim through them...

Really impressed with David Sim's portrayal of Lord Julius... or Groucho Marx... Makes me want to pick up a few Marx brothers movies...

And I really like the story... intelligent, funny, witty... but it's a made for trade paperback story... In the first book, the stories were self contained... now there's multiple thread lines... Rate: A+

Bone: Out of Boneville

Picked up Bone: Out of Boneville at Half Price Books today... just finished reading it. It was good... I'll have to pick the next one up. I've been hitting the library lately & saw they have a pretty good selection of graphic novels; I'll see if they have the next book in the series. The artwork is good, the plot is simple (for now, unlike Cerebus). It reminds me a little bit of Pogo. Rate: A

Cerebus

Per a co-worker's tip, local Half Price Books had the complete Cerebus trade paper back run. Picked up the first 2 books for now -- I've read through books 3 & 4, now I'll go back and read 1 & 2. Hopefully after I finish them, some of the other trades that I'm missing will still be there for me to purchase... Rate: B+
