The Venture Bros. Season 3 DVDs... I can't wait till March...!

I’ve been watching a lot of DVDs, listening to a lot of music and audiobooks, and even playing a few videogames (I broke down and bought a DS) since I started work on Festering Romance, so I just thought I’d mention some of the best of the batch that helped me keep going through the dull and the tedious this year. I’ve definitely seen a lot more than I’m listing, but these have been my favorites, oldies but goodies, and new pals. Thank you,

The Education of Hopey Glass

Oh, and, just for fun, here’s my
“Top Comics of the Year“
list in no particular order:

-The Education of Hopey Glass by Jaime Hernandez
-Against Pain by Ron Rege Jr.
-Barefoot Gen vols. 5-6 by Keiji Nakazawa (though the inside date lists 2007, everywhere else I’ve seen says they were actually released in 2008)

Although I suppose it doesn’t say much that my “Top Comics of 2008″ are all reprints and compilations. Having said that, I still look forward to seeing the new Kramers Ergot once I receive it.

Hope you enjoyed the lists, and please come back on Monday for a new artwork post.
