My gift took awhile to get here, but it'll be worth the wait. I'm a big graphic novel reader, but haven't bought any recently since I've been in grad school.

I've also never read ANY Marvel, having always been a big DC/Vertigo Fangirl, so I'm glad I'll start out with something by one of my alltime favorite authors (I just met him last weekend and I'm reading one of his books now) and something that I don't have to know too much of the cannon and current events to follow. I've heard a lot about 1602, so it should be great - I know what I'm doing on the 4th!
