Great idea for a thread. And I love the title!
Hmm, I have this board to blame for my not being able to have a budget.
I'm now a Goon addict thanks to Crow. I love that book. The trade of the first few issues just came out. Look through it and just yield to the madness.
Carly (aka Life), the former mod got me into Demo, and I just bought some volumes of Kare Kano too.
Oddly enough, my most ardent recommendation is
Identity Crisis. It feels silly since the book is so big right now. But I think it's an instant classic. I didn't really know the characters involved, but now I'm obsessed with them. Great work by Brad Meltzer, Rags Morales, and everyone involved. Even the letterer (whoever they are) gets kudos, b/c it's so complicated.
I highly, highly recommend it. I'm wetting my pants waiting for the final issue. (I don't think anyone needed to know that
)
