Man, this is a fun line up of books.

Here’s some thoughts on just the top row. (maybe I’ll do other rows later)

BAOH– was the only thing I ever delved too deep into by 

Hirohiko Araki of Jojo fame. I love that it’s about a hero who has powers because he has an awful brain parasite–that’ll change his body in order to survive. 

Nausicaa– I like this comic more than anything else Miyazaki has done-(I think that’s saying a lot) -I always compare it to AKIRA in the way –that I think Akira gets weaker as a story as it goes on. Like at the end Kaneda, who in vol 1 leaves a girls he got pregnant & never thinks of her again, is in charge of a new Empire– hmmm, that’ll should out well for everyone. but Nausicaa only gets stronger and has one of my favorite endings of any comic.

Appleseed– I’m so impressed by what Shirow does with comic panels and storytelling. I’m always joking how this book would be in every comic class taught but it’s amazing work is hidden in a cyborg cop comic -soo academics wont find it.

FIST OF THE NORTH STAR!!!– I think this is the best thing to come out of the Mad max movies. I imagine it’s creators Buronson and Tetsuo Hara watching the 80′s MM like –that was cool but what if it had a LOT more exploding heads.

(justy is ok)

Dirty Pair– I might’ve mentioned that I love this book…Adam Warren going from making fan comics of the untranslated DP anime, and then managing to get the rights from it’s creator to do his own version, layering it with his own influences of western cyberpunk sci fi. It’s amazing that this book even exists and then what he did with it is even more fantastic.
