Comic Book of the Week!

I am trying to keep the blog up to date, or at least, a update every few days. So, I figued that once a week, I'd recommend a comic. Be it old or new. I'll try to recommend titles that I think that everyone would enjoy, and not some fanboy title. Eg "Uncanny X-Men #456 is a must read to see the return of the Apocalypse, etc", but, stories that are accessible to everyone.

So, here we go with the first one. The System by Peter Kuper. It's published by DC comics/Vertigo. What makes this series enjoyable was that it's all art. No words. It uses Stencil art by Kuper, which is simply amazing. The story follows several individuals, and how each of their lives crosses. It follows a corrupt policeman, stripper, serial killer, and a few others. It's definitely a more serious title, and it shows a wide variety of characters from different social classes. It's a older series, so, it's been collected in a tpb. Follow the >LINK< to see more on it, plus, some examples of the interior art. Posted by Picasa
