Bar none probably THE best comic book currently being published (and that's from a guy who spends ~$100 A WEEK on this stuff). Full on embodies the term "graphic novel." I'm just stunned every time I read a new issue. But yeah, thats not nearly often enough. I might get the collections just to have it in it's true form (but the singles are pretty cool, in their unique size & format.

I commented on the boards about this, but I'll repeat it here. I absolutely cannot wait to get this trade. I hope to order it in the near future. The first trade was a great collection of stories.

This is a great take on Germany and the period between the two world wars. Most mentions of this period is the rise of hitler and the nazis. I like Lutes approach to ignore this and talk about other issues of the time.

I ordered City of Smoke yesterday! Can't wait to pour over it. Lutes is really one of the best producers of contemporary comics but his gradual rate of release kills me. My wife, having liked Jar of Fools, is interested in Berlin but I keep telling her to wait six or seven years until the trilogy is complete. Lutes is even more gradual than Shanower ^_^ It's so much easier to come to a series after its reached its conclusion than it is to wait. And wait. And wait. Bone did that to me and it was excruciating.

I'm looking forward to the new collection. I absolutely loved "City of Stones", but the slow pace of the single issues has been killing me. It doesn't read as well in serial installments.
