I enjoyed Death Note, though it seemed to me that every other volume was brilliant and the ones in-between we just okay. I prefer the ending of the anime to the manga.
A couple other good reads are Black Lagoon and Battle Angel Alita.
September 25, 2008 7:07 pm Good to see letterers getting their due! I letter books for Viz and never gave a thought to lettering before I started working for them. Of course American comics have the luxury of placing the text where they want while I'm at the mercy of the original Japanese placement. Sometimes making that look good/readable is a challange!
