You have to read the Preacher series (none / 0)

Seriously this is one of the greatest things ever put on paper. God, demons, vampires, hitmen, voodoo, ultra-violence, sex, boozing, fighting, guns, etc.

Halo Series (none / 0)

Have you read any of them?

Harvest - Eric Nyland

Any Halo book by Eric Nyland (there are 3 of them)

They are totally engaging!

  I believe that we have to support the comics because it's a struggling genre in today's system of information dissemination. I always stress the important role that comic books have on fueling imagination and sparking creativity to my students.

  but it's real. If you are looking for a completely fresh perspective on the holocaust, then you should read it. It is definetly not a fun read.
