The first TPB &#8220;Who Killed Retro Girl&#8221; completly hooked me and after reading it I went for some of his older stuff, &#8220;Fire&#8221;, &#8220;Jinx&#8221;, &#8220;AKA Goldfish&#8221; and his more recent Marvel stuff of &#8220;Ultimate Spiderman&#8221;, &#8220;Ultimate Marvel Team-Up&#8221;, the wonderful MAX series &#8220;Alias&#8221;. I&#8217;ve mentioned him a couple of times before in this blog, but the second Powers TPB &#8220;Roleplay&#8221; really cinched it. The man is the best writer writing at the moment and yes that includes Alan Moore (although I do love Top Ten). It&#8217;s worth noting however that <a href=\"http:\/\/www.neilgaiman.com\/\">Gaiman<\/a> is not doing comics ar the mo. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>In other news, just reading over on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.darkhorizons.com\/news.htm\">Dark Horizons<\/a> LotR has already make enough to cover the costs of the entire trilogy. That&#8217;s impressive. Speaking of, reading and really enjoying the book at the moment. Quite surprised at the large part Gollum plays in &#8220;The Twin Towers&#8221; but really liking the character.
