Hello, I'm a fan of Graphic novels and generally get my stash boosted by my wife every birthday. I have a birthday soon but I'm a bit short of ideas about what to ask for - she asked me which ones I wanted this year and to be frank, I haven't looke dat what's out there. I have the usual, popular novels (Watchmen etc), but I'd quite like to know what Graphic Novels people have seen/read lately and recommend.
Thamks in advance....

Well I don't know what the kids are reading these days but I liked these ones before they were shat on from a height by hollywood:
Sin City - A Dame to Kill for & That Yellow Bastard
League of Extraordinary Gentlemen Vol 1 & 2
From Hell
Hellboy - Seed of Destruction, Wake the Devil & The Chained Coffin and Others
30 Days of NightI also got into 'The Goon' a few years ago, quite funny/silly and its got zombies in it: http://www.thegoon.com/
And I'd still read Neil Gaiman's Sandman books.
But none of these are new so I dunno whats hot these days.
- there's a League of Extraordinary Gentlemen volume 3 nowBluejam
- I have some of these but others I don't, so a good list and thanks!********
- Volume 3? Ace. that's going on my wish list.********
- I didn't know there was a new volume. Cool, new one for me to get so!ian

Honestly you will never regret it they are soo wicked, it's got a 0-60 of around 7 seconds it sounds wicked v6 growl, go for the GR or the GPX mivec, I have the GR, you can get two sets of golf rods in the boot, and the mirros retract with a cool switch

FTO: Ah, Nice...wrong thread of course, but fuck it, I started it anyway. I really want to strip something down, a black car with good engine box and platform etc, no hardware upgrading/modding needed for it to be a good enough blast to drive, then strip it, remove soundproofing and excess weight, make it light, painted black - debuffed, fat wheels, white letter tyres... a grim looking and well roaded ride as opposed to shiny hi-tech MaxPower style. I want a car that looks like its just been driven through hell. Not fucked up, but well driven and not cared for. I keep seeing FTOs around and thinking they could be the thing to buy. I'l test driving this weekened anyway... I'm decided that far.

the tiptronic gearbox in the fto is a hoot :D, basically you have automatic normal then you flick it to the left and have rally style + and - gears well good fun, don't be turned off by the automtic as the kickdown is rediculouse :E plus manuals are available but they can be in poor condition as people red line them too much. Feel free to email me with any questions as I am a member of the an owners club and can give you some very much needed pointers in what to look for when buying, it's a very good car mate and there are some excellent mods for it, blueflame exhausts, hks induction kits etc. etc. just don't get the veilside body kit eeeewwww.

I'm already overwhelmed with quality recommendations and choices here. Some of these I have already, some I know of but are not in my particular field of interest, but mainly a lot of stuff that is going to be passed to the missus as my birthday list, so thanks to all for posting these and thanks to whoever may post after this too.
