    Bought Trilogy USA yesterday, very much looking forward to it. Decided to get Millenium and Swords of glass later when I heard more opinions about them, so please anybody reading those, don't hesitate to share your opinions. (also they are just recently published so I don't think they gonna go oop in the near future)
    I'm also interested what are your thoughts about Milan K and El Nino. I think I've read a blogpost about Milan K from one of you folks and it was a very good review but haven't heard much about El Nino.

    Yeah I wrote some about Milan K. and I still think it's very good. Definitely recommend that book. Still need to read El Niño though.

    I have the Metabarons, Technopriest, Before The Incal and Final Incal slipcase editions...but I can not for the life of me find the original Incal slipcase edition. When it does appear on ebay it's usually over $500. If anyone knows where I can get it, or has it and wants to sell, please pm me.

    That all depends on taste of course. Their line is very diverse. I'd say my favourites are:
    - The Incal
    - The Metabarons
    - The Technopriests
    - District 14 (2 volumes) http://the9thblog.blogspot.nl/2013/1...s-romuald.html
    http://the9thblog.blogspot.nl/2013/1...rre-gabus.html
    - The Fantastic Voyage of Lady Rozenbilt http://the9thblog.blogspot.nl/2013/1...rozenbilt.html
    - Bouncer
    - Milan K. http://the9thblog.blogspot.nl/2014/0...rs-by-sam.html
    - Jihad

    never heard of Jihad before but seems interesting and the art looks good.
    Is the District 14 stuff oversized? IIRC it's not but Rozenbilt, which I think is about the same universe, is oversized, which is a bit strange.

    Just finished Trilogy USA. It was interesting but a bit uneven. The first story was a bit of a mindfuck but overall I liked it. The second one was probably my favourite, it seemed the most cohesive and had the best storytelling IMHO. The third one dragged a bit and wasn't that interesting and I didn't like those heavy captions expositioning half the story, especially after the elegant way the 2nd one was told.
    The art was mostly really nice but sometimes it felt a bit off, especially the women's faces.
    Overall good stuff, no regrets buying this one, but I'm not sure I will seek out more books from these guys.

    District 14 hardcovers are regular sized. The Lady Rozenbilt HC is indeed oversized. The latter is a stand alone story but boy is it good. Just like the main D14 story.

    My favourites from the Humanoids stable recently are
    I am Legion - HC is out of print but Sc is vailable and Titan comics are publishing a series of prequels as well
    Hounds of Hell - softcover was recently republished
    The shadows of Salamanca
    Millennium - excellent artwork
    Sanctum - I have the original but humanoids is coming out with a different version / reselling of this story.

    What did you think of Millennium and Sanctum? I haven't seen many reviews of Millennium and from what I've heard of Sanctum, it's good, but only worth a single read through.

    Picked up Millenium two weeks ago on a whim, and I have to say that it's one of the best comics I've read in awhile. It's really a great book. Thematically similiar to The Crusades, but much, much better, in my opinion.

    Sanctum's decent. Dorison's done better work.

    For those looking to get into a few Humanoids books, I also really enjoyed Cape Horn
