Have you read the Authority? Cuz' if you haven't then I suggest you get it RIGHT NOW. The Authority by itself will sell you on Wildstorm.Victor Von Doom said:

You won't care. You haven't read the material before, which ****ing rocks.
And it's got some good creators helming the relaunch.

And Planetary. The Authority and Planetary are two of the best books ever created.

It's not that I don't have taste....it's just that the premises don't interest me right now. More than likely my curiosity will get the better of me and I'll check 'em out.
I mean the idea of the last man on Earth traveling the world searching for his girlfriend had no appeal to me either. But I finally read the first volume and I love it. So I'm eatin' humble pie right now.
The idea of a former hero who can talk to machines running the city as mayor didn't pique my interest either. But I got the first trade and am waiting for it to get here so I can check it.
So who knows....

You go to every teenage comedy and you won't try two of the best comics ever written?
You disgust me.

See....and its stuff like that that makes me wanna read stuff like that. Unfortunately, the book store here has nothing in way of "good" trades. The closest one is an hour away. The LCS is more D&D than comics.....so the only trades he has is old Spiderman stories and a few Black Panther trades. :roll:
I have no desire to buy a book that I might not like. So I read them in the stores. Lack of resources here.....
So everyone says its great. That means I'll give it a shot..........when I can find it.

VVD's refusal to read Authority and Planetary is just shameful.
And I thought he was cool.

Let me know what you think of it when you do.
ETA: There is another volume I didn't link to that features crossovers with some other books. Good stuff and definitely recommended, but not essential to the main story.

The only crossover story I liked was Planetary/Batman. I have all three on a CD, so I'm not buying the trade.

I ordered Wildcats Vol. 3: Serial Boxes and Vol. 4: Battery Park about a week ago. My comic shop sent me Wildcats: Homecoming and Vol. 4.
I need Vol. 3 to understand the story completely. Damn him.
I read them both though. Homecoming was alright, but not as good as the other Wildcats volumes (take that Alan Moore!), though I did get to see TAO, which was cool.
Battery Park was fun. I just need to read Serial Boxes so I understand most of it, and then I'll get Wildcats Version 3.0.

I got the first volume of Authority: Revolution today. Comments once I read it.
And I'm writing my first new review for my school's paper (in advance) on the Authority. If VVD reads my review and still isn't interested, he's going to feel the full wrath of my Baby Nexus powers.
