    Really? Only five of us read Acme Novelty? Really? That’s just sad.

    @Dave: Well what is this about? I mean if it’s #19 of a HC series, I’m intrigued on what this is all about.

    @TheNextChampion: its Chris Ware’s comic. he pretty much does anything he wants in it, mostly experimental stuff like in one issue there was a finger puppet punch out theater. every couple of years they get collected into graphic novels the most famous being "Jimmy Corrigan, the smartest kid on earth"

    i don’t intend on picking this up because it appears to be part 3 of a story in progress…  seems hard to find the previous books…  but i definitely want to pick it up when it is collected… 

    i read Jimmy Corrigan a while back and loved it…  i just finished the Quimby the Mouse collection and am half way thru that big red Acme Novelty Library collection…

    Best comic being published at the moment. Every time I read an issue I fall back in love with comics.

    Acme Novelty isn’t about a story arc or even the sequential actions that are happening in the narritive. It is a starkly emotional examination of being human which is in turn dry, hillarious, depressing and often devestating.

    This is the series that brought me back to comics after I had given up in the early 90’s. If Alan Moore proved that comics can be literature then Chrtis Ware proved that comics can be art that tells a story. It just always peeves me that folks in the comics community at large could give a crap about the guy.

    when i first saw Acme novelty i didn’t pick it up. the art was entertaining but the book huge and it wouldn’t fit on my shelves. it wasn’t untill i saw his sketch book i knew this guy shouldn’t have been judged by the size of his book.

    Chris ware is impressive. his art in acme is simple but not in a bad way. the story and the amount of thought he puts into page layout is genius. can’t wait to read this.
