I just started because I was worried if I went the other way around (comic then movie) I would be disappointed, but this way I could be impressed both times lol.

But so far I'm impressed so far b y how faithful the movie was (I just finished chapter 1 thought). Of course, I expect the comic to be better.

i really want to watch it as i read the comic YEARS ago and it blew my mind, read it again recently to see whether time had changed my perspective and no it hadnt, i was surprised but wary when i heard they were making a movie version as i felt it would be very difficult to stay true to the spirit of the graphic novel. since then i have watched the trailers and they all seem quite true to the film, so i cant wait to watch it, especially after reading what you and other people on the web have said.
in a way its like lord of the rings, i didnt think they would be able to make a cinematic version of that of any quality, but i was pleasantly surprised when i watched that.

Alan Moore is mad about making a movie lol he said he's not even gonna watch it. Dave Gibbons was involved though and gave his blessing and advice.

You mean cbz lol? (It's just a zip files with the images in alphanumerical order, cbr is same with rar)

Btw you still using ubuntu or anything with gnome? Evince is kickass for comics.

I can find 100 Bullets and Wanted links.

P.S. I'm reading it and so far the book is WAY better. No spoilers please.
