just read a comic called v for vendetta. really cool creepy-near-future setting, neat looking although a little heavy-handed in the wwii holocaust parallels. i'm trying to introduce myself to the format and language and style of graphic novels because i have what i think is an amazing idea that could only be expressed in comic form. it's funny, i've never had that kind of motivation before, it's always been poetry or maybe collage. some ideas just seem like they belong in a certain form.
