Well, the last manga I read is technically 666 Satan (O-Parts Hunter in the states), but I've read the whole series before. I was just reading them again because they were there and I enjoyed them. Anyway, it follows the story of Jio Freed a young boy able to use O-Parts which are powerful weapons with various effects. From swords that create fire, to handguns with the power of cannons, and even airships. Oh, and he has another personality living inside him named Satan. Satan has the ability to absorb pretty much anything and is a very powerful and sadistic bastard. An example of his power would be absorbing the ability of an O-Part and using its power himself. All he has to do is touch it.

The last comic I read? Um... Sonic the Hedgehog #76(?) I think. It was a pretty great issue, too. Sonic, Knuckles and Tails all end up transforming into their Super forms (first time for Tails and about the third for Sonic) to fight an immortal named Mammoth Mongul who just acquired the power of 12 Chaos Emeralds. Considering each emerald held literally infinite energy and he was thousands of years old, that made him quite strong. I think that was the last one I ever bought many years ago. Don't know why I stopped. Guess the story just seemed less interesting since Robotnic was dead and they had pretty much won.

I'm reading the Berserk manga, and whoooo boy is it different from the anime!

So far I've learned that king is an incestuous pig, Casca almost gets raped multiple times (then the Eclipse happens. Granted that was in the anime, except this time it was more brutal), the Skull Knight is a BAMF, and there's a society of elves who used to be kids who kill and rape each other as a game.

I'm afraid as to what lies ahead to be honest.
Yeah, have fun with that.
I'm still waiting for more chapters of that. Seriously is it still ongoing? Don't get me wrong, it's beautifully drawn (which might be disturbing when you think about it) and interesting-and metal-as hell, but it seems to take forever for new chapters to come out.

Yeah its still being released, its just the author takes forever because he hand draws everything himself, unlike other mangakas who have assistants to draw backgrounds and secondary characters etc. And his incredible attention to detail, I love it, its my favourite manga ever, its just goddamn that guy needs to hurry up with it

Read the first book of Hellsing, it was pretty entertaining, but I lost interest rather quickly (I'm not a big manga fan :/)

I think the last comic I read was Wonder Woman #3. I bought a few that day and could be mixing up the order though.

I'm reading Hitman: A Rage in Arkham right now. It's extremely hard to describe and I'm not sure if I like it or not.

The problem I have is that I decided to read Watchmen before I really got into comics and nothing compares to it. I didn't realize it at the time, but it truly is one of the greatest comics ever made. Everything honestly pales in comparison to it.

Funnily enough I just finished reading Maus again for the umpteenth time. It kind of spoils most other graphic novels for me whenever I read it. I need to read something really interesting and experimental like Grant Morrison's Doom Patrol or super nostalgic like Suicide Squad to make me interested in comic book stories again. Everything else (except maybe Persepolis) pales into insignificance compared to Maus.

Last comic I read was the 4-part Spawn/Wild C.A.T.s crossover, which I recently acquired piece by piece from a comic convention and a nearby shop. Fun Fact: It was written by Alan Moore!

The last manga I read was Koi Kaze.

Masca

Cesare
Otoyomegatari
Vagabond

I just finished Batman: Hush. It was, for lack of a better word, interesting. Jeph Loeb is too excited that he has a mystery that he doesn't pace it properly and won't give us an actual red herring. It is also has so much misplaced build up to it that by the time he is ready for the big reveal it feels more like an ass pull to end it within the allotted time than a flowing story.
I've said it before and I'll say it again, he really needs a collaborator to help him develop the good ideas he has. Almost every one of his ideas could work, he just mishandles them when he isn't ignoring character continuity.
I have Under the Hood waiting for me, but I might sit on it for a little while and go get something else. I might be ready for a break from Batman.

I've been getting my Batman lore on:

Arkham Asylum A Serious House on Serious Earth
The Long Halloween
The Killing Joke
The Dark Knight Returns

Anyone care to recommend me other Batman comics? I'm really itching for more.

The Dark Tower: The Gunslinger Born, a comic based on the backstory of the Dark Towers series (courtesy of Book IV: Wizards and Glass.)

Damn good read.
