cant say that i have... but about comics and gaphic novels...are they basically the same? i mean the comics come in chapters if you think about it... and some times you can buy many comics in one set, much like the Ultimate Xmen, Ultimate Spider-man, etc. And could you really say Sin City is a graphic novel? i mean even Miller said it was a comic book series... but then again this is all in my opinion...

i went to like alot of comic book conventions and anime conventions there both cool

Not sure what's the difference between graphic novels and comics. It must have something to do with the paper quality and the color. Now, they are more stylistic. Here is a link for you: The Phantom Man

I am not sure of a movie, but it was very popular. I guess, there are a lot of chances. I will try to find out, dude.

No need for any confusion.

My favorite is hands down Batman: Hush arc. It was awesome bringing all of the villains into one arc making Batman question everyone's motives. I mean for crying out loud, BATMAN IS THE SH*T!

Also um, it was the reason why I got into comic books.

Brian Michael Bendis (although he's one cocky SOB) sure makes great comics too.

I've been wanting to get a hold of some Transmetropolitan. Although I can't suggest it since I haven't read it, the story sounds nice..which would be along the lines of Sci-fi and a Gonzo journalist driving people mad.
