I'm glad you liked it. I'm a fan too.

also a big graphic novel / comic book fan. I wonder if there will be a part 3 about The Janissary over at DC Comics.

Hey, have you checked out "The Pride of Baghdad"?

pomegranate queen said...

yes i have! i really liked it however the same folks that did Pride Of Baghdad have this awful series called Y: The Last Man. Despite the dope visual art component of the series, the politics is HORRIBLE.

I was tempted to get Y: The Last Man, especially after seeing the film "Children of Men" but the whole thing seemed too long...(and more importantly, expensive).

Any favorites? I really liked Kyle Baker's "Why I Hate Saturn"
