Before that I was mainly into DC/Vertigo and I also loved British and independent comics as well. Comics, when done well have a unique form of narrative that cannot be copied by any other medium, including movies.

Lately, whenever I take my daughter to the library I do check out the Graphic Novels section though. What's Sandman about? Is it about the villain from Marvel? I don't really think Watchmen is all that good judging by the movie.

And the crossover thing pisses me off to. It's only a trick to make you buy the lesser bought titles.
