During the last year, I've been fortunate enough to find some comic books that I missed when they were first published, because I was busy being a husband, stepfather, and struggling actor. I've deeply enjoyed them all, and for today's Geek in Review, I thought I'd point out a few of them. (Possibly NSFW.)

    Wil,

    I don't know why you keep ignoring me. I have an amazing ending to Wesley Crusher's story-line.

    Pardon, many Trek fans hate me for this, yet the Traveler ending is poetic, and I wrote it.

        Yes, I do. I'm a featured columnist at Suicide Girls. It's a pretty nice job!

      I didn't read a lot of graphic novels or comic books( other than stuff like Elfquest) when I was younger even though many of my boyfriends and male friends(and one female friend) were into comics/graphic novels( although for some reason I LOVED wolverine) but i am slowly catching on. My husband won't even watch a movie based on any comic books/graphic novels that he's read because of the mistakes and inconsistancies (large and small) Which is why he was able to watch Sin City and Constantine, both of which he loves. an, of course, now He wants to read them....He has gotten me into the japanese manga and anime (not so much of the american/english stuff) but reading this review I think he would be VERY interested in a couple of the ones you mentioned. The darker and more twisted the plot the better. Thanks for pointing these out to those of us who haven't had a chance to read them.

        I am so sorry to read such venom directed at an actor for just doing his job. I hope celebrity has its compensations. It's one thing to be disliked for who you are, but to be disliked and held personally responsible for the actions of a fictional character beggars belief. The ultimate irony is that Mr Wheaton cares about the genre, whereas Patrick Stewart says has no interest in Science Fiction.

        Anyway, Graphic Novels. In addition to the ones you've listed, I'd recommend: The Invisibles (violent, literary, sexy and clever), The Sandman (although Gaiman can be pretentious, non?), Ruse (Super Steampunk and in the same vein as LXG.)

        Keep up the good work with the blog, I've only just discovered it and as a fellow geek with many of the same interests, wish you all the best.

        Ravells.
