An Andi Watson Thread...

[bawker]

After a recommendation from a friend, I've read "Breakfast After Noon" and "Slow News Day" this past week, and have been suitably impressed.

Anyone else a fan?

I enjoyed Geisha and also the latest series, Little Star a lot

I've read, as far as I know, all of Andi's post-Skeleton Key works. I tried to read the first SK trade (and the last mini-series), but couldn't get into it.

"Geisha" is very good. However, "Dumped," "Slow News Day" and "Breakfast After Noon" are probably better, imo.

I also ADORE "Love Fights." I was dubious about Andi doing a super-hero book, but he still hits the right emotional chords, and plot-wise, "Love Fights" is easily the most complicated and engaging series that he's done.

You know what, I've heard the name but never read any of his books.....However, I've specialed ordered 'Paris' just from the preview I've read. Any more suggestions for me to pick up?

Dumped is quite good and very cheap. Never under-estimate entry-level pricing.;)

I prefer Slow News Day or Love Fights myself. Both were superb.

Andi is just about my favorite writer-artist today...absolutely love all his work! Make sure you don't miss Little Star, still going on from Oni. Dumped is very hard to find though, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't try, LOL! I must also be one of the few readers who actually liked Samurai Jam, although you do have to give Andi some breaks with the ever-changing art styles at the beginning of his career. Overall, I still have to call Slow News Day my favorite of all his work.
