    There aren't enough comics about monkey astronauts.

    Seconded, especially history. I like the way readers can get right into another world with comics, so I'd enjoy more of the "this is my obsession" nonfic comics about specific careers, skills, lifestyles, artforms...

    Now, if we just had a comic about a monkey ballerina in space I think we would have something.

    Crime Noir,Sci-fi and space opera without the capes,monsters,Sword and Sorcery, and hell bring back romance Angel Love is a great example of how to make it modern and less sexist.

    For me, it's more historical fiction, no matter how much it veers into fantasy. I'd like to see more books like The Secret History or Rex Mundi. I picked up a book the other day called Swords of Rome, but I haven't had a chance to read it yet. I'm even talking about things like Jodorowsky and Bess' White Lama, which begins (and ends) within a historical context, but takes many esoteric flights of fancy.

    This is the truest statement ever written.

    You might want to try Hitoshi Iwaaki's Historie and Makoto Yukimura's Vinland Saga if you haven't...

    Horror is the only thing that can save comics. In Mignola we trust!

    More books couched in reality and that takes into account human psychology. More books where the characters use their brain. I would especially would like to see a superhero themed book that takes into account jockeying. Like what Machiavelli and Louis the 9th employed.

    If he would just WRITE a bit more of the darn thing, anybody might want to try it! I'm beginning to think that he's just given up and moved on, and perhaps there will never be another volume...

    If you've read Historie, though, Jai Sen's "The Golden Vine" is fascinatingly similar and yet not the same.
