Probably the most mature of Pixar, which gathers Disney's heritage, offers more psychological development both for the characters and the story; only the Proustian Madeleine towards the end is worth the price of the ticket.

"An end has a Start" is the album that I currently like the most from this 2007.

P.S.: I swear I'll try to recover something from Breccia to evaluate it better, and by the way, among the 90's comics, I also recommend "CyberSix" by Trillo and Meglia.

Interesting the Isi-Ajeje debate, I know very little about Breccia and that little doesn’t excite me because I’ve always leaned towards a different type of comic. @Ghemi: so about the DC-Marvel question, at first glance I’d say Marvel (Spider-Man, F4, X-Men to name a few are superior in my opinion to any Batman or Superman, the latter character I've never really loved much anyway, but I must say that while sticking to the '90s, DC through Vertigo published works like "Sandman" (@Purpulan you're making a valid point, but since getting the whole collection is quite an expense, I thought to recommend what I believe are the best, which, by the way, are indeed connected to each other but not exactly in continuity, can also be read independently), "Hellblazer," "Swamp Thing," "Shade," so on an emotional level, I put them on par; maybe objectively Marvel has a slight advantage though.

Then I would like to mention an Italian comic, Dylan Dog issue 125 "Tre x Zero"...

Invisibles (beautiful!) and Love After Death, the others I've seen go by but haven't read.. I will try to get them from my pushers.. I was forgetting to mention among the humorous ones "Bone" by Jeff Smith, superb!

P.S.: "Killing Joke" is by Batman while "Kingdom Come" is a crossover.

You're absolutely right. Spawn wasn't the best of those years, but for some reason related to the trends you mentioned, it became the most regarded. Therefore, when discussing that era, it's essential to reckon with McFarlane's work (to whom we must still acknowledge some decent insights, like the creation of a "hero" who isn’t always good, like Spawn, balancing between Heroes and Villains). From my point of view, I find Sandman unparalleled, and I recommend "Preludes and Nocturnes," "The Season of Mists," "The Eumenides," and "A Doll's House." If you haven't read them yet, I also place Lobo above Spawn, along with Hellblazer and Swamp Thing. Tank Girl, on the other hand, has never really appealed to me graphically. As for the "classic" series, I think the best ones from those years are the two DC titles: "Killing Joke" and "Kingdom Come."

...it didn't take much to declare upon the online release: "Okay, guys, we’re doing this operation to create some media buzz," instead, it was convenient to pretend there was a serious intention to destabilize the world of Traditional Record Labels and then, honestly, I don't believe they had such difficulty finding someone to physically distribute it, and instead they want me to believe it's something that came up spontaneously, which I find a bit sad. That's all, I’m for non-deceptive advertising; here, in my opinion, there’s been a bit of that, which was noticeable by how much has been said about this album months before its physical release, because at this point, even the story of the deluxe version sold online for a boatload of pounds bothers me a little, online, in newspapers, even here on DeB (7 reviews in three days...). And I'm speaking to you as a fan but I'm trying to remain a bit objective...
