Plastic Man's expressions throughout that whole issue were priceless. Every goddamn panel.

Swamp Thing is fantastic. I believe it was the first comic to run without the approval of the comics code authority. They lost their **** over batman and robin being in a sauna together, so Moore's mixture of drugs, gore, nudity, and necrophilia was way too much for them.
Also get your hands on a collection of Moore's DC stories if you can, he really raised the game on comic book standards.

I actually get mine from the library. For some reason all the libraries in my city have a great selection of graphic novels. I don't know who was hip enough to bring that in, but I'd love to give them a great big hug.
I've always wondered if other countries have that. Anyone else?

After hellblazer you could read sandman. ItÅ› pretty good.
constantine is great. alan moores run on it is legendary. i wouldnt however suggest reading the new 52 constantine..it isnt bad...but it misses everything that is good about constantine. and flanderizes the **** out of the character....
you ever read the 80s specter comics?

I wouldn't recommend any new 52 except maybe Death Of the Family. And even that misses the point of Batman and pretty much all other characters. (The New 52 Red Hood is pretty cool though). ******* Joker is a challenge for Batman in direct combat which makes no sense.
But nah I haven't read much spectre either. I just know that Deadman and Stranger and Spectre are all highly underrated characters.

joker being a challenge in hand-to-hand depends entirely on the writer and the series, it makes sense if the writer wants it to make sense.
it doesn't make any sense that nobody's killed the joker yet or that nobody else uses joker gas or that nobody's found a sample of batman's blood at a crime scene and used it to find out who he is or that tim drake was somehow the only person capable of deducing his identity or that nobody's found the batcave although all they'd have to do is follow his batmobile or that bruce wayne hasn't somehow poured enough money into arkham to make it impenetrable or that the villains somehow still keep getting their gimmick weapons every time they get out of prison.

80s specter had the greatest artstyle ever put in dc comics. i highly suggest it just for that. the story is great too.
and n52....superman year one was excellent (written by grant morrison) and i have heard nothing but praise for swamp thing and animal man runs (remind me to get to those)
but yeah..in general, n52 is just bad....
