I don't share the tastes of its critics (I loved Jin-Roh, Fritz The Cat and Wizards, and despised Only Yesterday and Tamala2010), but it seems fairly in-depth, well-written, and idiot-free... a rare quality among message boards. Go see!

Incidentally, now that I've read Crumb's comic, I have to say that I prefer the film adaptation in many respects... the film is black humor. The comic is just black.

I dunno. Maybe I just didn't give it enough time. Also I usually figure if the original artist didn't like the adaptation, it doesn't work as an adaptation.

Syra mentioned Varo in an old post, which was my introduction to her.I guess it isn't surprising that the regulars here would share similar tastes in art.
I've definitely noticed a similarity in the style of writing I encounter in the personal emails I occasionally get via this site. It's startling how often they uncannily resemble my own tortured prose-- perhaps a sign of the struggle to distill a non-verbal, sense-oriented perspective into a string of words.
Coincidentally, I'm taking a more purely visual narrative approach to the new Aeon episode I'm developing. There will be dialogue, but nowhere near the level of the 1995 series. The ultimate format and outlet for the project is still undetermined, but I have a feeling this will be the definitive incarnation of Aeon Flux.

Oh man, look at all those screenshots, too. I wish they'd re-release the DVD version.
