| A couple of weeks ago I finally looked into Sin City, both movie and comics. You guys should really do the same if you haven't yet. |

| Dorohedoro and Maken X have a pretty crazy style somewhat in the same vein as Tsutomu Nihei's stuff. I wish Dorohedoro was getting translated faster, but I don't really have a right to complain. |

If I may, I'd suggest a manga called Zetman/ZETMAN
It follows the story of an anomalous genetic experimentation subject (Jin). Jin was originally created to combat monstrous entities that are not too different from himself, but there have been massive setbacks and his life is nowhere near what was intended. It is sci-fi with an almost supernatural aura. The action hardly disappoints (if at all). The Art work is very detailed (but the architecture compared to Nihei's?  )
The world is very strange. It appears to be similar to the modern day in some respects, only for the reader to find out that it is far more advanced in others. Also, the world seems utopian, but there are many dystopian factors and environments behind closed doors. |

Not to sound a little cliche, but I got into Code Geass recently. I found it very entertaining!

Guyver is pretty entertaining as either the manga or the anime. Gotta love the classics sometimes.
A sickly looking man is trying to escape with a package from some shady soldiers in odd futuristic get up. As they corner him, he mutates at will into a muscle-ridden, skeletal looking bioweapon.
One of the soldiers makes a similar transformation and quickly subdues him, but not after discovering that he had a hidden bomb on him which he detonates, scattering and/or destroying the contents of the package.
Sho and his friend, Tetsuro, are walking along when he gets hit with a metallic pod (actually, how this part happens differs between versions). Organic metal tendrils flood out and engulf his body, bonding Sho's body with the parasitic, metal-organic, semi-sentient bio Armor, Guyver.
One of my faves |

The Night Land, by William Hope Hodgson.
Quote: Not a planet, not a star, shines in the black heavens.
The Days of Light are less than a legend, their stories mouldered to dust amid the chaos of the ancient Libraries.
Yet, within their vast arcology, the last Millions of humanity live and thrive.
Outside, the huge entities of the Night Land watch - and wait.
The Last Redoubt has stood ten million years, and may stand ten million years more, but its final fall is inevitable.
The Land is as unknown as the depths of space. It holds life, some of it remotely akin to humanity. Fires burn and and shadows creep; cities and lights lie still; clothed and shrouded walkers glide forth.
Other Creatures, vaster than hills and slower and more ponderous than glaciers, wait eternally.
Forces stir in the darkness. Messages pass across the Land. From the tower above the Redoubt, the Monstruwacans keep record.
To this Land go the explorers of the Redoubt.
Rarely, rarely, they return.
And the works of Borges. |

So hey, I've been reading these lately, you guys might be interested in one or two:
X-Force
A really edgy and gory version of X-Men. Cyclops assembles a death squad led by Wolverine to be sent into the most extreme and dangerous missions the ordinary X-Men shouldn't be involved in. The art is really great and there's a Messiah War arc very reminiscent of SNIKT!, they get sent to a desolate future and fight an army of robotic monsters ( and lol protect a little girl named Hope ) created by the big bad at the time.

Transmetropolitan
This one's a classic and I've started reading it since last week they re-released the first trade. It's kinda like a series devoted to Conan O'Brien's In the year 3000! sketches where the protagonist Spider Jerusalem, a Hunter S. Thompson-esque journalist, is trapped in the crapsack futuristic metropolis known as 'The City'.

Soil
By Atsushi Kaneko, the same man responsible for Bambi and her Pink Gun. At first glance it's pretty much the same as David Lynch's Twin Peaks, but it gets more and more crazier and fantastic as the investigation goes on.

Victorian Undead's pretty great.
I like to think of it as a steampunk Biomega. |
