Comic Reading List
Yes, I’m a long time comic book fan (from before they were popular on hipster t-shirts). Although, I’ve taken numerous hiatuses and I’m no longer a “collector” I still enjoy the graphic novel medium. I recently shared my recent reading list with some friends on Google Buzz and asked for their recommendations for things I might have overlooked or otherwise not heard of. Here’s what I got back:

Welcome to Hoxford(Finished)
Needless to say, I have a lot of stuff to read now. Thanks for all the recommendations! 🙂
As someone that does a comic book podcast, those are some great selections. I’d also recommend some of the recent Amazing Spider-man trades. The Gauntlet arc has been fantastic. Another one i’d recommend is THE LIFE AND TIMES OF SCROOGE McDUCK. It won the Eisner a few years ago.
Thanks, Tom! What’s the name and address of your podcast page or feed?
You should read Wormwood, Miriam is reading it, looks really interesting.
Good call on Chronicles of Wormwood. I read the first series recently and have been meaning to try the second one soon!
