If you are not reading this book, you are a big dumb poop head.

Sigh, I just wrote another long rant on the state of the comics industry...and deleted it.

Anyway, shall buy the first book (does the story continue directly from one book to the other or would I be fine just getting Winter 1152?) along with the latest Invincible trade and Asterios Polyp next time I buy comics.

Read the first book last night, went by quick, but did enjoy it quite a bit.

...now, to look for the second

The entire second book is set up by the events of the first book, and also, the second book is very "Empire Strikes Back" in that it is superior to the first, but relies on the character development from the first to give weight to the events in the second.

On side note, owls are assholes. Read the second and you'll see what I mean.

Yeah, something needs to be done about comic torrents. Out of curiosity I followed the instructions my buddy gave me to download digital comics (in his defense still pruchases the books but uses the downloads to inform his purchasing habits), and my jaw dropped. I was literally able to download every comic published in a week by DC, Marvel and independents in one fell swoop. This is THOUSANDS of dollars of comics per week for free with a push of the button. I honestly don't know how the industry will survive if nothing is done.
