I've got the complete run of this book (I actually started picking it up around issue #3...), and have this on back order from Westfield. Can't wait to sit down and read the whole thing. I really like the first twenty issues or so, but after Alan Moore's guest stint on issue 21, the book took a darker, more serious tone. I tried to read every issue as they came out, but when you had some years where only two or three issues shipped, it was hard to keep up with.

In case anybody's interested, there's also a 1/2 issue (which I don't know if it's included or not) and two mini series that tie-in. The Rose mini by Smith and Charles Vess is worth hunting down, but skip the other one that was drawn by Smith and written by somebody else (can't recall the guy's name, but I think it's the same guy that revamped Punisher at Marvel Knights before Garth Ennis came along.) It's not relevent to the series or very interesting...


Get the fuck out!
