Heavy Ink ran a sale on Sandman a while ago and I almost went on a spree and bought many of them but I decided to pass, at least for the time being. I had read the first two books of Lucifer two years ago (dang time flies) and was holding off on reading more. Don't know why, it just didn't really jive with me. I did buy volume 3 a couple weeks ago when HI ran a sale on it and many members over there commented that the story did pick up a bit with volume 3.
HI have been running sales on trades almost weekly and there was a pretty big one for Canada Day in which I picked up the first two volumes (phonebooks actually) of Cerebus. Really looking forward to getting them.
Been on a pretty constant feed of manga, mostly anything from Naoki Urasawa and reading the Vizbig editions of Vagabond.
Also read and really enjoyed
Midnight Nation. Would qualify it as a moving experience of a read.
Finally read
Dark Knight Returns and didn't enjoy it as much as I thought I would.
Would also recommend
Asterios Polyp as a very interesting read.
Currently reading a graphic novel called
Area 10. It's a black and white book with art by one Chris Samnee that I really, really like.
