I'm reading "comics" like always: Ten Grand is so fucking good.
First issue has a big 'Hellblazer' vibe to it. Basically its a dude that worked for the mob, fell in love with a girl. Said he was doing one last job, he has to kill some 'enforcer, just like him'. When he finds the dude, he summoning some demons, the demons chase him and kill/torture him and his girlfriend. She goes to heaven, he is going to be sent to hell forever, but an angel makes a deal with him. Do enough work for his sins, he will be let into heaven..
In the first issue some girl comes to him with a job, there is a satanic cult and her sister is invovled. He now takes work of people 'in the streets'. 10 grand he charges because (its not alot of money, but just enough to get the no serious people out). The guy that runs this 'Satanic cult' is the dude that killed him and his wife.
Pretty good start.
Also finished American Gods, so now I'm reading 'The Blade Itself' (this is the fantasy book, not the crime thriller), book one in the 'First Law' trilogy. So far into the book, they just introduced like 3 of the main characters. The first one is Logen Ninefingers which seems like the typical viking warrior type. In the start of the book he is being hunted by 'flatheads' whatever they are, he falls into a river with one, barely survives. His 'group' was separated. Later he ends up in his village which has been burnt down by King Bethod, who his group used to serve. He backstabbed them and burnt their village. The second character is a Sand dan Glokta who is a crippled, fucked up Inquisitor working for the union. He has to 'get the truth' out of people that break kings law. Though, they are 'corrupt' of sorts, since merchants and guilds with big bucks pay them off. Glokta is at the age where he doesn't give a shit and starts going after guilds to make examples, the leader of the Inquistor gets complaints about him and tasks him to go after the 'riches' of the guilds. His past is cool, in a war he was captured and tortured for 2 years, when he got let go (everyone else that was held captive died) they didn't think he was going to walk. After he hospitalized and came back he decided he wanted to be a Inquistor and do what people did to him.
The last guy is Jezal dan Luthar who is noble and rich. He rather flirt with girls, drink wine and gamble than train. But it seems he is going to be in a tournament in 4 weeks and is being trained in the start of his chapter, even though he doesn't seem to be into it.
