    Has anyone here read any of his graphic novels, or at least know of him as anything other than writer/co-producer of Lost? His stuff is awesome. I think he's the best person writing comics right now. He takes premises that are completely unappealing to me, and makes the story, plotting, pacing, and characters so good that I enjoy it anyway. I've read all three volumes of Runaways, six of Ex Machina, and all of Y: The Last Man. I enjoyed all of them, and it seems as if he can do no wrong.

    I just finished Y last week.

    It was fantastic.

    I'm also a fan of Y, although I missed some volumes in the middle. What a sad end.

    About half way through Y... really need to catch up. And I really want to check out Ex Machina.

    As for graphic novels, I heartily recommend NextWave - big, dumb and fun. And pokes plenty of fun at how po-faced comics have become at times.
