One more recommendation: Finder by Carla Speed McNeil, a magnificent, painful comic. Most of it is available in graphic novel format. The latest one is The Rescuers, which has, among other things, an ongoing dialogue between a young woman enamoured of a native-close-to-the-soil culture and a man trying to clue her in to the reality of it. ("What do you think all that "walking in balance with nature" bullshit really means? It means sometimes people die. The old. The young.") Lots of gender issue stuff as well. And the two volume Sin Eater has got to be one of the most brillian, painful things I've ever read.

This makes VB go "as it happens..."
I'm'a buy some comics this very afternoon, and picking up some more Finder is on the list. Sin Eater, I expect. We'll see.
This makes NInJ go "MmmMMmm."
Finder is damn fine fineness.
This makes VB go "the winners are..."
Finder: Sin Eater part 1 and Talisman (they had no Sin Eater part 2). Age of Bronze 2. A Usagi Yojimbo: Seasons.
