So I've been getting more into comics and graphic novels and have noticed a few things about them.
1. They're two different worlds.
2. They're published in two different ways.
Comics are sold in comic shops, graphic novels are sold in bookstores. I'm wondering if this has something to do with why the two worlds are starkly different (no Ironman pun intended), but honestly I'm not sure. I'll just say that when I get into a conversation about comics with professed "comic book nerds" who are talking about Wolverine and Superman, I'll start talking about Transmetropolitan and no one will know what the heck I mean (??).
So anyway, here's what I'm reading now:
"Umbral" by Image Comics
"No Hero" by Avatar Press
"Firelight Isle" indie-pubbed by Paul Duffield (great guy)
What are you guys reading and maybe we can get some recommendations going?
