... Oh my God, Star Wars fans actually are stupid.

Truth be told - he's right. There should be a place for any type of comic book.

Is that one of his books books?

Oh, that was brutal. Best thing about the final Miracleman book. I wish that Kid Miracleman had more appearances and a bigger role. What I didn't like was all those gods, convoluted dialogue and iffy lettering. I appreciated the concept and the story Moore wanted to tell, but it felt like he went off the rails a bit too much at the end.

Ah, yeah, if it's something like that I might not really like it. While I don't mind writers really doing the projects they want, telling us their stories the way they wanted to, sometimes it feels like comic books are not the right format for works of that sort. I might give it a try, but we will see.

Hahah, true. He's probably the most critically acclaimed comic book writer as well as the most beloved it by readers.

Once I check them out I will share my opinion. Miracleman was good up until Gargunza died and basically the final act - Olympus started. Afterwards, the stories and the premise became a tad dull and they were enjoyable but not as the first two books of the series.

I've heard plenty of great stuff about Tom Strong, so it's a must read as well along with Promethea. I always forget about his Captain Britain run though.

Yeah, I compiled a list of the most essential works of Alan Moore and I wanted to start with them. Swamp Thing was supposed to be the first one I read, but due to its length I pushed it back lol.

I've heard the most positives about Swamp Thing and Watchmen.

What's your favorite work of his? What else would you recommend that I read from Alan Moore or it can be any other writer, but just something that is worth reading?

Yeah, I saw some copies online from the original publication of the story in Warrior was it? The UK comic book magazine.

I have the DC Universe by Alan Moore Hardcover, so the stories included in there. I recently read Miracleman and I've reach Watchmen. I think on the top of my head that these are the books I've read.

Next on my list is his Swamp Thing.

First time reading V for Vendetta and man, I don't really get the hype. It's not a bad comic or a story. It really goes at the problems of society, but it just doesn't work the way it should imo. The artwork is grim and bleak to intensify the dystopian times, but it is distracting as the coloring and inking are way too dark and grey. The antagonists are hard to distinguish because of the artwork and the lettering has aged and it is hard to read some of the word balloons.

It feels like I'm one of the few people that don't really get Moore's work that much.
