Cerebus
| 
Dec 28 23:24 UTC 1995 |
I've finally started to read Cerebus. I've purchased _Cerebus_, _High
Society_, _Church and State I_ (just bought II; will pribly finish it
tonight), and _Jaka's Story_. I'd also read Cerebus #0 and the World
Tour 1995 Book, in addition to the TMNT story and Spawn #10. :) I've also
started to collect the monthly issues, beginning with #200 (#202 came out
this week; it felt light and, sure enough, there's only 22 pages. hmm...).
If you haven't read Cerebus yet, run, don't walk to your nearest comic
store. If you're a comic fan, go ahead and start with _Cerebus_. If you're
not really into comics, go ahead and start with _High Society_.
I'll tell you why later. Simply consider me one of the converted.

I started reading Cerenus with issue 92, which came out in 1987
if memory serves. I've been reading it fairly regularly
(depending on my income >8) ever since.
I still consider _High_Society_ one of the best works in the
comic book field. Ever.

Bear didn't do what I *think* he did with that ball in #202, did he?

Dave Sim is wonderful. I have most of them from #20 to about #130
I think. Great stuff. Is he still planning on stopping the series
at #300?

As far as I know, yep. He's just recently passed the #200 mark. #300
is scheduled for March 2004.
Sim still publishes the phone books, if you're interested in catching up. :)

(there's a comic shop that doesn't carry _Cerebus_?!? isn't that some
sort of sacrilege or something?!?)

I still haven't read CEREBUS. And all 300 issues are probably collected at
this point. I have seen a lot of people calling Dave Sim a crazy cult maniac.
Doesn't mean CEREBUS isn't worth reading in either case.
