Every bit the masterpiece you've probably heard it is if you have even a passing interest in the comic book medium, Alan Moore's mid 80's stint on Swamp Thing was a game changing run that altered the way people read and write comics. Toying with and transcending genre tropes, this run changed what "superhero" comic books could be and is as good a testament as any that comics can be both art and literature. -Karl

Alden is one of those illustrators who I think of as "an artist's artist." His drawings and stories display such immense talent in humble, low-key ways that his work is almost easy to overlook. Don't do that! You'll be depriving yourself of one of the best new graphic talents of the decade. -Clark

Especially beautiful when he shuts the sound off and lets the motion go for pages. Sometimes he shuts the lights out also (then it's breathless...dark...) I don't want to say too much... shhh.... --Arlo

Nimona is a shape shifter. Mostly in the shape of a young punk of yore, she can become a dragon or a cat or anything else. She teams up with Lord Ballister Blackheart to do evil and fight against the Institution only to find out who the truly evil ones really are. This is a perfect comic--sincere, humorous, witty, subversive, meaningful, and surprising. - Steve
