Reading Alan Moore’s V for Vendetta and Charles Burns’ Black Hole sort of back-to-back recently has reminded me I really want to get back into reading comics.

I need to figure out where I left off with some of my favorite monthly titles — mostly Vertigo stuff — and take a walk to one of the good comic book stores in Manhattan. (There’s, I think, one really decent store on Long Island, but it’s in Smithtown, the better part of an hour away.)
