Great books by comic book writers?

[DonC]

I would not call it great but John Jackson Miller wrote a good Star Wars book that ties into the Knight Errant comics also callled Knight Errant.

I wouldn't even call it good. Apparently somebody at LucasBooks liked it. They hired him to do an Obi-Wan Kenobi novel.

What was so bad about it?

The premise--a lone Jedi trapped behind Sith lines--is fantastic. Kerra Holt is even a fun character. It's just that nothing else works. The whole Sith story is needlessly complicated. There's what, five of them in the novel? Just narrow it down, simplify the plot and get on with the ass-kicking action.

I actually like the fact that his books have a little bit more depth and characterisation.

I'm halfway through reading Prepare to Die by Paul Tobin. It's about the life of a superhero as he faces being killed of by his archenemy. It's a great story.

Charlie Huston, who did Moon Knight and some other work for Marvel, has a lot of really good books. The Joe Pitt casebooks are great and the Hank Thompson trilogy might be my favorite books.

Crooked little vein by Warren Ellis. Absolutely nasty, but great fun.

I enjoyed reading Stan Lee's autobiography "Excelsior", co-authored with George Mair.

He's a fantastic novelist, for sure, one of my favorites.
