Sometimes i wish i was born a decade ago, instead of now. The eighties was a grade era. But then so were the seventies and sixties and fifties and forties and thirties.... Hell, every decade was a great decade, for different reason... Its so difficult to decide. I wish i could watch Hendrix play live. I wish i could watch the lunar landing. I wish i could go down to the comic shop and pick up Neil Gaiman's the Sandman weekly. I wish i could read Watchmen when the Cold War was still a big thing.But i like this era too. I like talking to people across the globe in seconds. I like being able to download nearly anything to my computer. I like revelling in the glory of a million broadcasts invisbly flying across the world. I love the tech which we have access to, and the fact that we're jumping forward so fast.

I wouldnt mind living in the future, either. Provided it doesnt go all Orwellian on me. I wouldnnt mind zombies though.

*plot twist*

Im reading Grant Morrision's The Invisibles now, and let me tell you, that is the dopest shit ever. Far out, man.

Graphic novels are amazing. I mean the bad ones and even the average ones are god-awful, but the good ones are superb and the great ones are incredible. I mean, take Watchmen for example. Thats better than any book I've read.

Alan Moore, Warren Ellis, Grant Morrision, Neil Gaiman... and now even Brian Bendis and Brian Wood... these people have put out some great books.
