Bio: Mine is a story loosely based on a man stuck in a cube unable to get out of a room with six sides all of equal size. I can breathe, but I won't die. There is nothing to do, so I sit alone, staring vacantly at the exact center of the opposing wall, and wait... an idea not yet born.

June 24, 2008 3:56 pm Honestly I cannot think of any manga that short. And that is the biggest reason that I haven't gotten around to reading much manga. The series that I recommend is only nine volumes: Genshiken. It is about the otaku subculture presented by a Uni Club called The Society for the Study of Modern Visual Culture abreviated Gen Shi Ken. There are no superheros and the book is pretty meta. And on all accounts Bleach is an excellent superhero book kind of akin to Nova or Green Lantern about soul reapers fighting demons and ferrying souls to the afterlife, but the series is ongoing and currently at 33 volumes. Hope that helps but pretty sure it doesn't. Thanks.

May 29, 2008 1:55 am I haven't commented in awhile and think I will now so that my presence might be felt again. I am disheartened by your post. For as you requested that I read Moore's post, I did only to find out that all of the points I felt discussing were already brought up by you. In that I totally agree with the points you have made. I feel that all works should be critiqued equally and that no reviewer can be completely objective when reviewing a work. If a reviewer doesn't like a book because it isn't his/her cup of tea, then the review is no less valid.
March 9, 2008 8:22 pm That is your stack? We all have a stack, the curse of mortal man. It is the hope, the possibility in what could be great while at the same time an infinite well that we fall through, dying of old age long before we hit bottom. So you might as well take your time and quit worrying about when the stack will be defeated.
