i have heard it said that the bible is the greatest story ever told. could it be that there are better stories?
Any universe that gives Hank Pym the title of Scientist Supreme is the superior universe by my reckoning.
I am look for Chinese WuXia Comics Feng Yun published by Tian Xia in Shanghai.
The actual comic not the online versions.
I know that there is a comic dealer online on this site that may be able to get them for you.

In this paper, any books I use must have scholarly review or something like that.
I want to use books like Wintergirls by Laurie Halse Anderson and Go Ask Alice.
Omg I want to read Wintergirls! I’ve been meaning to go out and buy it. How was it?
To answer your question, here are some book options.
Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson (about rape)
Cut by Patricia McCormick (about cutting)
Willow by Julia Hoban (about cutting)
13 Reasons Why by Jay Asher (about suicide)
Dreamland by Sarah Dessen (about abuse)

Dark Avengers is excellent! It’s about a group of villians posing as heroes. There’ve only been like 12 issues so far. You can get the 1st graphic novel that has the first 6 issues. Issues 7 and 8 you don’t need to read. They’re filler issues that cross over into Uncanny X-Men. Then you can pick up with issue 9 (the back issues aren’t hard to find) or wait until Feb. for Vol. 2.
I have been out of the comic book world for 15 years and a friend recommended Josh Whedon’s Astonishing X-men vol 1 - 4. I loved it and looking for more comic books that are just a fun read with great art. What do you recommend?
I personally loe astonishing x men by josh whedons story line. I loe how kitty pryde sacrafises her self to save the world and infuses to a bullet. I would recommend spidergirl that is a great read about the future of alot of the marvel charecters especialy spiderman. This is a summary of the story.

Only of something happens to the quality. I mean, you can get anywhere from $10-$150 each, depending on the condition it’s in.
I heard somewhere that Alan Moore released a list of songs to accompany reading the comic version of the watchmen and I was wondering if anyone knew what that list was.
While I’m not sure if this is the specific list, there are songs that are featured at the end of some of the chapters in the graphic novels.
Those songs include:
Desolation Row- Bob Dylan
The Comedians- Elvis Costello
All Along the Watchtower- Bob Dylan
As well as others.
For the whole list, here’s a great site I found that has a bunch of info on the songs, as well as where they can be found within the graphic novel.
Whatever happened to those great old weekly comics like Dandy, Beano, Hotspur, Wizard, Chips (remember Weary Willie and Tired Tim?), Adventure, Rainbow, Boys’ Own Paper, Eagle, Lion?
Well, the Beano and the Dandy are still around, or were until recently. But children nowadays are not so intereste din reading comics. My sons liked them when they were younger, but mainly the ones that were TV tie-ins, and came with toys. No.2 son occasionaly buys a Yu-gi-oh or Pokemon comic.
But children nowadays mostly prefer watching TV and playing on Nintendo DSs and Wiis and things.
The comics I liked when I was young were the girls ones like June and Schoolfriend, Princess, Diana etc. They had lots of stories about girls having exciting adventures. My favourite story was Mamselle X, which was set during the Occupation of France in WW2 and was about an ordinary schoolgirl who was secretly a member of the REsistance by night. What made it even more exciting was that the local Nazi commandant was actually boarding in her house! And he never suspected a thing! Dear Mamzelle X, I wonder what happened to her after the war. I suppose she must be grandmother by now.
Another story I really liked was Chairman Cherry, about a girl who worked as a cleaner in this big company, and when the company chairman is taken ill she helps him, then he dies in hospital and leaves her the company, because he says she’s the only person who ever showed him any kindness. The two company directors, Moddle and Coote, think they will easily be able to dominate her and get her to do whatever they want, but she outwits them at every turn, and they begin to respect her. I admired Cherry very much.
