@@TBATB Well, I guess you need a Part II then. May I also suggest the Alan Moore run on Supreme, with the delightful homage to the Silver Age of Superman?
Currently reading Watchmen for a second time. The first time was 12 years ago when I was 18. It was the first comic book I read, and I didn't quite get it. It was kind of hard to get trough when you don't know the context and impact it had on the medium, and back then I was craving action packed stories. But now, after 12 years of reading experience, I love it the second time through.
The crazy thing about watchmen is if you read it again in a few years you will once again have a deeper understanding. I try to go back to watchmen once every few years.
@@TBATB glad to hear! your vids make my day too man, great atmosphere, very knowledgeable, dope collection, unique video ideas and great personality. excited to see more and more! and yea dude if you continue at this pace theres nothing stopping you from being the goat 👏
I have both the versions of From Hell and if you loved it in any of the versions, try the other one too. There is a different feel with both but I personally prefer the charcoal black & white version. It is much more gothic and atmospheric especially the crude nature of the art at times. The colored version is great too and rather more palatable for a wider audience.
My top 10 Alan moore: 1 Swamp thing 2 From Hell 3 Lost girls 4 V for Vendetta 5 Miracleman 6 League of extraordinary gentleman 7 The Birth Caul 8 The Ballad of Halo Jones 9 What happend to the man of tomorrow 10 Watchmen
Interesting list. Lost girls was the last Moore book I bought and read...I wasn't impressed after one read. My opinion could change with a reread down the line but I'm all about Moore's writing and the constant sex scenes on every page bored me silly a third in...finished it but it was overkill. I'm no prude at all and I hate censorship but it was like reading through a book where a fight scene happens at the beginning and doesn't stop till the end...I wanted more story and less sex but I knew what I was going into reading it I just thought there might have been a few pages breaks but it was relentless 😂😂 Great art though. What did you love about it to rate it so highly? Watchmen at 10 aswell!? I'm fascinated by your truth. It's certainly not mine but please explain to me I'm intrigued ✌️
As always, great video! I really like Top 10 videos, and as I also love Alan Moore this makes an awesome video! I'm missing Promethea, maybe I'll grab the 3 Deluxes by Christmas time...
I’m really enjoying Tom Strong would have preferred it to be an omnibus or an absolute . It’s a shame they haven’t been able to do Supreme in remember it being really good homage to superman.
I believe Moore has disowned Killing Joke. The Bolland art is precious, though, and I'd recommend checking out the Noir edition, which is in b&w. Supreme and League of Extraordinary Gentlemen are also must reads.
@@TBATB Oh, yeah. Alan Moore is the de facto art director on all of his best works, giving artists detailed scripts, so the books wind up having very dense visuals and layered stories. It can be too much if you read too many of his books back-to-back. I've reread Swamp Thing the most and it's an enduring favorite of mine, probably because it was a really great monthly comic without too much meta narrative to bog it all down.
@@TBATB W had good stuff in it but a lot of it is over hyped. League was cool. Watchmen I really liked and Killing Joke. He did me Swamp Thing a threat. Weird character
1. Watchmen. 2. From hell. 3. Swampthing. 4. Providence/Neonomcon...amazing but understanding H P Lovecrafts work is needed to fully enjoy these. 5. Promethea 6. Ballad of Halo jones 7. League of...first few graphic novels the rest i didnt like. 8. Top 10. 9. The killing joke 10. Lost girls... Love them all apart from lost girls...im no prude at all but the endless sex scenes covering everything from beastiality, incest to pediphilia got dull fast...im completely against censorship but just like pornhub it gets boring fast...too much of anything gets dull quickly... Ive had Miracleman omni on my shelf for months unread...getting through my backlog so i cant rank it yet... Interesting what you said about V for Vendetta...ive just realised i never added it to my list! It would place 3rd for me. Amazing book but i first read it in the late 90's ( im 49 and English ) and it depressed me too much...i grew up in South Yorkshire in England through the 80's Thatcher was despised by the working class and i remember feeling the tension as a kid growing up...the bleakness all around...awful stuff...i didnt want to remember them years and V brought it all back...anyway...cut to a few years ago and i reread it... separating my emotions from that time and it bkew me away...it was my first absolute. Nice video mate. Keep up the great work 👍
"...because this is my video trying to get Alan Moore to lift that curse on me" Preceded by the Doomsday Clock fake out. Y'Know, the curse has probably become more powerful...
Yeah, I did wrestle with if this topic was appropriate for my channel as I’m empathetic to the controversial themes and I hope it was okay that I made this video.
Since we’re arguing semantics… Most of these aren’t graphic novels or comic books, either. Comics books are single issues, collected editions are collections of comic books, and graphic novels are ones that are a one-shot release.
Hey I appreciate the feedback! Comic tends to get searched more so I opt to use it over collected edition but I’ll try to be mindful in the future if you thought using comic was misleading!
I'm sure Moore once said he hated the term Graphic novel. Saying they were neither graphic or novels. Moore is available for kids birthday party's...he's there to cheer everyone up...and I love the miserable, filthy wizard.
