Best comic there is

No, I'm not talking about this badly done comic page I gratuitously created using my own amazing person and the cutest Pokemon there is. (although I must admit I feel drawn towards - haha, get it? drawn towards? - making a lengthy comic type thing from my own pictures and adventures.)

What I actually wanted to tell you about was this other comic called Transmetropolitan - a little something that my loving boyfriend recommended to me in order to SUCK MY SOUL IN AND NOT LET ME DO ANY WORK BECAUSE IT'S TOO AWESOME NOT TO READ FOREVER. Basically.

Don't let the graphical nature of the comic disturb you - it's exactly what it's supposed to be. Insane, over-the-top and addictive to the point of rereading it furiously and making screenshots of your favourite parts. From 1997 to 2002, this baby ran 60 issues. Not enough, from what I hear. If you like Gonzo journalism and/or cyberpunk, plus the setting of a dystopian future where your house appliances are on drugs, then go ahead.

The Book Thief

I started reading The Book Thief some time ago, but only recently found the time to actually focus on it without escaping into Westeros. I must say, it's a lovely book with a wonderful narrative voice and a surprisingly cheerful narrator, considering the fact that it's Death we're talking about here. Who would've thought a book about WWII narrated by Death himself could be described in terms of lovely and cute instead of gore gore blood gore sad killmenow oh god why. Basically.
