Agreed.  However, his final release 'Kingdom Of Fear' was pretty good, actually.

Be sure not to skip over any of the "non-comic" parts of the book.  Like all of the excepts and the like, just as important to the story as everything else.
"There are three rules that I live by: never get less than twelve hours sleep; never play cards with a guy who has the same first name as a city; and never get involved with a woman with a tattoo of a dagger on her body. Now you stick to that, and everything else is cream cheese."          -Bobby Finstock

This is an amazing piece of work, even if you aren't into comics... defintiely worth multiple reads. I am re-reading it now, and am finding all kinds of details I didn't catch on the first read.
With regard to the movie I am waiting to see it until December, when the ultimate version with the Black Freighter interwoven into the movie comes out.

My favorite line from that book: "...listening to Clapton is like getting a sensual massage from a woman you've loved for the past ten years; listening to Van Halen is like having the best sex of your life with three foxy nursing students you met at a Tastee Freez."
