radiohead sux
Seriously though, Radiohead are pretentious, worthless queefs and the most offensive thing to happen to popular music in decades. It doesn't help that they basically tore the balls out of British music, the effects of which still resonate today.
I'd rather listen, nay, "analyse", to bumpin' 'n' grindin' shake yo' booty music.
Also, ew, The Watchmen. Alan Moore did a Hell of a lot better, even for the detestable teen-fantasy superhero genre. The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, for one.
P.S. Evangelion and Stand Alone Complex are fine animes, okay.

It kind of is. Predator Goose, do you follow the comic scene? There are many things which have legitimised it times and times over, and well clear out of superhero territory most of the time at that. I'm not talking about the vilified "indie" comics either.
P.S. Opinions suck.

Since that time I've never seen something that interested me, nor has anyone brought to my attention anything close to those two works. I won't say I'm an authority on the subject, much more of a casual observer. |
You should check out From Hell, for starters. You might then want to check Eddie Campbell's Fate of the Artist, if you can find it. Personal recommendation: Warren Ellis' Desolation Jones. Think Raymond Chandler writing The Prisoner.
For superheroesque stuff: Punisher MAX (Punisher done in an over-the-top pulp realism sort of way, with not a single cape in sight.) is the best thing Marvel is currently publishing, perhaps alongside Spider-Man: Reign, though that mini-series isn't finished yet. Also, look into Grendel.
Seriously, there's a lot of good stuff out there if you care to look.

A part of me yawns and a part of me laughs, whenever I hear someone say something along those lines.
