I was re-reading Watchmen in anticipation of the movie, and honestly it is a masterpiece of story telling. I'm baffled by the fact that the book has been banned by our KDN.
Yes, banned. Go ahead and search MPH, Borders and Kinokuniya, you won't find a single copy around. I asked at the Borders in the curve, and was told by a staffer that KDN has effectively banned them from importing and selling the book. How sad. |

QUOTE(firedauz @ Jan 20 2009, 04:52 PM) Why was it banned? I'm lost for a reason really. Maybe its Dr. Manhattan's habit of not wearing pants? I see nothing wrong with the content, if it was banned because of that then V for Vendetta should be gone from the shelves as well, but strangely its still there.Content too sensitive for the local taste?  |

QUOTE the Death of Batman Looking at the entire 52 series, and the whole restructuring of the DC universe, and considering Batman IS DC, I highly doubt he'll stay dead. You know, just like Superman. |

QUOTE(pikopi @ Jan 21 2009, 09:08 PM) Where's the usual place do u guys get ur g.novels? I get mine mostly from Borders. MPH doesn't have a good selection of graphic novels. Kinokuniya's selection rivals that of Borders but I stay in PJ, and its a 10 minute drive to the Curve, so Borders it is.The usual Kino? Borders? MPH? Comic shop? By any means, if there's any other unique places pls share it. I love graphic novels but it's been a few years since I lost bought one. I still could remember my first graphic novel which is two of the Kabuki series by David Mack. I was so psyched cause I couldn't afford it back in the days, so my bf gave it to me as a surprise  |

QUOTE(IcedNyior @ Jan 22 2009, 09:35 AM) Same here. I think only Kinokuniya and Borders has a good selection. That being said, Border's Curve selection is quite small :/ It suffices. Midvalley isn't that far away as well, and the Borders the have in Gardens is quite decent. Anything to avoid going to downtown KL.Any fans of Neil Gaiman's Sandman around here? |

QUOTE(fundabonka @ Feb 1 2009, 12:21 AM) I rarely post anything in lowyat. But I love graphics novel as well. Right now I'm following Y: The Last Man and the Ultimate Spiderman. But some are hard to find. I haven't been able to find Spawn 1 or WitchBlade Origins series. I guess you can't have 'em all. Ultimate Spider-man replaced my old collection of the mainstream Spider-man. It is honest to God the best Spider-man comic currently out there. Bendis is a genius writer. |
