i have a new crush. his name is spider jerusalem.
why am i always one of the last people to know about great things? i swear, i am on uber delayed reaction. everytime. i got into sandman 14 years after it came out. and now this, i am obssessed with spider jerusalem. come on, pangalan pa lang panalo na.
this guy is so bad ass, he reminds me of my other comic book crush Lobo. though i must say spider is way cuter, and he's smart too, being this foul mouthed chain smoking,gun-toting journalist. i'd have to get used to the bald head though. in terms of hair, Lobo wins.
so, i leafed through my book 0 of transmetropolitan, and i am so hooked. a spider jerusalem action figure? hell yeah.
hey batjay, thanks for the tip on this one. you never fail to give the best recommendations on graphic novels and music. you, me and jet should go to next year's comic con in san diego.
hint hint candy. can i stay over at your place next year. please?! i promise to be good.
sigh. i'll be humming the spiderman theme all day long at the liquor store today. noo-ni-noo-ni-noo.

woohoo. i love spider jerusalem too. i discovered him in a big bookstore in singapore and was hooked immediately. great artwork and more importantly, great story.
mayroon pa akong mga recommendations and i don't know if you have them yet:
1. Lucifer Morningstar (tapos na ang run but you can still buy the 10 books - siya yung lucifer sa sandman)
2. Y, the last man - the last men on earth is a young man and his monkey. great story lalo na para sa mga babae
3. the invisibles - inspiration sa matrix movie. this is another personal favorite. very complex story line.
4. top 10 - what if you had a universe where everyone had super powers. an alan moore classic.
5. watchmen - the grand daddy of many graphic novels. dito yata nagsimulang magkaroon ng emotion ang mga super hero. will be made into a movie and i don't know if alan moore approves.
6. batman, year 1 - ito yata ang inspiration nung batman begins na movie.
PS - sige, let's plan on going to comic con. matagal na akong naghahanap ng makakasama.
game! we already bought our tickets for next year, hihintayin ka na lang namin sa harap ng convention center! ako yung naka school girl costume with pink hair.
batjay,
thanks for the new recommendations. yang si lucifer, matagal ko nang inaawitan yan eh. x collected a few books of Y, i'll definitely get top 10 and watchmen.
sige, punta tayo sa comic con! yipeee!!!
candy,
i'll get the four day pass and take the weekend off camp. shit, that's gonna be one long trip, but hey, for the love of comics and spider jerusalem, why not?
