Pete wonders if comics are important?
Hell yeah! It's on hell of a communication media, so on a quick trawl:
On Daryl Cagle's "professional cartoonists index" page I liked Turner from the Irish Times.
A dialy strip's inhabitant's react at Adam & Eve These will be transient pages & will be moving on soon...
There must be more folks...
That the branches and loops of these diagrams seem both logically coherent and oddly paradoxical is not lost on Ware himself. "Time is, I guess, the raw material of comics," he says. "To me, comics are the medium in which the human experience of time can be most beautifully represented on a page. There's something about the fragmentation and categorisation of life into a crystalline book of pictures that, when read, 'come to life' - which seems true and wonderful. Narratively speaking, comics allow one to almost see the future and the past simultaneously."

The TRS2 weblog is undergoing some changes with the reviews first appearing on the weblog before being archived. I had planned to update it at least five times a week, but well, we'll see how things go...

I never thought I'd be recommending a comic with the sub-title "Path of the Warrior" that is painted in a 70s fantasy art style and chronicles the lineage of a lone warrior, but I have to say that the Metabarons, which frankly, fucking kicks ass, is one of the best comics I've read all year. I was already intrigued by this because it's written by Alexandro Jodorowsky but it was Tom Lennon's article in Borderline #2 that sealed the £12 purchase for me. Battier than batshit indeed!
