Nope, never heard of it. I will look to see if it has been collected.

No collections yet. It's only a 9 issue storyline so they'll collect it all in one trade when the last issue comes out in about 4-5 months.

I just read the first ten issues of the Vertigo series Northlanders. I was not very impressed. It appears to be an ongoing series where about every so-many issues they starts a new story line with new characters. The first eight issues were okay, 9-10 was not very good at all. I am going to stop reading this one.

That's a bummer. I picked up the first issue when it came out but I didn't like it too much. I was hoping it got better, a Vertigo Viking story has so much potential

Finished volume 7 of Preacher. This one is a gem.

Only Preacher story I wasn't impressed with was the New Orleans story with Les Enfants du Sang. They were annoying and poncey and wound me up. Everything else was cool.

I am currently noticing discrepancies between the Solar and X-O Seed of Destruction issues.

I read a few issues of Northlanders and I've enjoyed it. I also like DMZ from Wood. However, I do think he's a bit overrated. I've heard people gushing about Demo and I thought it was just mediocre.

That's why I enjoyed seeing them get their *SQUEE* kicked in.

Finished up Preacher and yes, it is in my top 10 books. Maybe my top 5. A very impressive set of stories.

One of the best lines from the series:

"Well if it isn't Country Joe Mother *SQUEE* and his dick Cheese Posse."
"You sayin' I'm gay?"
"No, I'm sayin' that your the kinda guy who'd crawl through a perfectly good *SQUEE*-house just to get to a fat boy's a$$."

There's a lot of good lines. It's amazing how one, simple, four letter word, spoken by Starr, can be so funny. The series is full of humor and I can't recommend it enough.

That is why I am buying the upcoming HC that is coming out . . . I really want this series on my shelf in that format . . . I would have loved an absolute though . . .

I also bought the Glen Fabry HC that collected all his covers . .

Just finish it to finish it.

Well, I finished it just to get it out of the way. It's overrated like Ohio State's rankings each year in the BCS.

Usually, I like wordy books, but I'm glad this one was word-lyte because I got through it faster.

On the bright side, it has further enforced that if I don't like something, I should just stop reading it and get rid of it and NOT make myself read through something just because I own it. That doesn't bode well for all of these post unity Valiants I have taking up space.

I am re-reading 1001 Night of Snowfall.

Willingham is just great. Fables is just so good.

I have not. It seems interesting.

I have asked about it, if I recall some really liked it, some it was just ok.

It is for sure on my radar.

I just finished this today.

It could not have been better.

I wonder if Valiant could do something similar as a re-introduction to some of there characters.

I just started reading The Champions Vol 1 #1-17. I picked these up last thursday and finally got time to read them.

TPB's, but I only bought the first one-3 bucks-but just sat and read 2 & 3. I maye read up through volume 7, find the "current" issues and put it on my MEAGER pull list.
