Yup it's the flagship of Virgin comics, written by Garth Ennis it's rather good.
The graphic novel of the first 7 issues is out in September, reccomended.

Must rush out and buy it.
I've been saying for years that English comics are crap and we should get back to things like Eagle, Victor and Tiger again. Anyone fancy starting one up? Gavin?
I'm reading Mafalda, a Spanish comic!

The Taking - Dean Koontz.
Or Koontang as I like to call him.

It's been years since I read a Koontz novel, but I went through a period where I plowed through most of them. It came in handy when I moved to Orange County and was already familiar with all the place names. I guess I'd also do well in Maine after all those Stephen King books I read as a teenager.

Has he ever had a decent film adapted from one of his books?

Not that I can think of. But I have high hopes for the movie adaptation of Cormac McCarthy's 'The Road' which I finished a few months ago. I think Viggo Mortensen was a great choice for the lead role.

Everything Kuntz writes is like a watered down version of King for nervous readers with ulcers.
Except the Odd Thomas books, they're ace.
Except I'm on 4 and it's all gone a bit soggy.

Yeah - but don't tell Finck.
I used to love Warlord.
Charley's war was one of the greatest comics ever.
