The Ultimates 1 and 2. But based on the first issue, probably not The Ultimates 3. Ugh. |

Pretty much anything by Alan Moore and Wolverine comics. That's what I own at least. I've read a few other things here and there, but I was never huge into comics and it's difficult jumping in this late in the game. Mitch gave me some good places to start.

English teachers piss me off. Like they give authors to much credit. Like just cause story starts in snow, which is white. Then they can like predict the end apparently. Maybe the author just wanted it to start in snow and it had no meaning. And like water means 1000 different things, from being born to death. They just make shit fit for them, like conspiracy theories.

You can pretty much find symbolism in anything, but it is probably best to understand that symbolism is more a personal thing than a grander one. If anything, it should be used to justify your own love of a work, and to feed your own sense of self-superiority. It should not be passed on to others as the artist's intent. |

Also, my list of recommended comedians includes David Cross, Mitch Hedberg and Conan O'Brien (although he doesn't really do stand-up).

Like how I got this to include comedians now too. But yeah, like some symbolism I am fine with. It is the wishy washy bullshit that annoys me, like when you know the author was just filling up the page with bullshit, but you got to over analyze it and make it fit the story. Reminds me of horoscope stuff, sounds good but it is bullshit.

Infinite Crisis is awesome. And I'm not saying that for obvious reasons.
Kingdom Come should be read by everyone. And do look up Origin. |
