comic enthusiasms

I was happy when I woke up today and discovered this link for the Sin City footage from ComicCon, because nothing goes better with your morning coffee than watching Clive Owen (sigh) threatening someone with a razor blade. I wonder if the completed movie will have comic book panels incorporated into the live action the way this footage did. I’m ashamed to admit that I’ve never read Sin City, does someone out there whose read it have any recommendations for which volume to start with?

I’ve blogged before about how much I liked Amethyst Princess of Gemworld when I was a kid. Unfortunately when the first series was coming out I was 8 or 9 years old and I didn’t really spend a whole lot of my allowance on comic books. So my memories of reading the comic are based mostly on the issues that I’d find at my local public library (and read every time I visited) and the few issues of the second series that I collected. But I just got the first 12 issue series and the second 16 issue series on Ebay super cheap! You can recapture your childhood through the magic of Internet auctions and Paypal!!!!
