Raxie Posted November 20, 2014 Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 Just finished Batman: A Haunted Knight. So good! I didn't realize these stories existed, and was sad that all I had left was Hush for the Loeb Batman stories, so finding this collection was really a great little bonus for me. forty-seven: Raxie and the Joining of Unlike Things << previous challenges >> >> instagram || goodreads << Link to comment

Steppinon D'Arrows Posted November 26, 2014 Report Share Posted November 26, 2014 I love graphic novels, comic books and manga but I've been so busy lately. I think the last one I read was either a scan of one of the original Lupin III series, a bit of that Miles Edgeworth or Ace Attorney things or a Black Butler book.Before that, it might have been some old Doctor Who comics from the library or one from one of the recent Doctor Who magazines.

SkiBlue Posted November 29, 2014 Report Share Posted November 29, 2014 Finished most of my graphic novels (they should be on my list at Goodreads). I'm subbed to Wonder Woman, Black Widow, Ms. Marvel, and Harley Quinn. Probably going to stop Quinn here soon, not very interesting and kinda random. Was subbed to Star Wars, but since Dark Horse is stopping and Marvel will be picking it up, I'm waiting to see what they do with it. LEVEL 1 REBEL Link to comment
Maj. Bloodnok Posted December 2, 2014 Report Share Posted December 2, 2014 Just found a classic manga at the library: GeGeGe no Kitaro! Kitaro is a 350-year-old spirit kid who fights malevolent monsters and ghosts, and occasionally schools unbelieving humans. He's got one eye, a detachable hand that he can control remotely, rocket-powered geta sandals, magic-detecting hair, and a vest woven from the hair of his ancestors. His semi-reincarnated father (who's just an eyeball on a tiny little body) lives in his empty eye socket and gives him advice. It's sort of like the original Addams Family cartoons. The artist, Shigeru Mizuki, drew heavily on Japanese folklore for his plot lines and characters. So you get critters like Nurikabe, who is a giant wall that appears in front of you. No matter how hard you try, you can't get around him. Or Ittamomen, who is a flying strip of cloth that wraps itself around your head to smother you, or Okamuro, who is a giant head that pops out of doorways and says 'Boo!' The manga is very famous in Japan and has been made into several TV series, games and movies. I took a course on mythology in college; the professor was a contemporary of Joseph Campbell, and specialized in Japanese folklore. He showed us several episodes of 'GeGeGe no Kitaro' as part of the class. I've been looking for it ever since.
