#3: DMZ: Volume 3: Public Works Written by Brian Wood and Drawn by Riccardo Burchielli

DMZ is an amazing comic. It's set in Manhattan, during the Second American Civil War. Volume 3 picks up with the effects of a no-bid reconstruction contract given to a shady company with connections to the President and a reputation for corruption. Oh, and hiring mercenaries.
That's not the only part of it, though. But even with that, what makes DMZ great isn't the individual plots. It's the depiction of life in a war zone, for the civilians who live there. And then it places that in New York City, to bring it home. That and the art both make it much more direct.

Man, I suck at literary-type reviews. It's a good comic. Read it.

I'm still working my way through How to Win Friends & Influence People.

No real surprise here (stolen from [livejournal.com profile] frustratedpilot). Whenever I read through D&D books, I figured this was the alignment that fit me.

Their list of people who're defined as neutral good is a little bit goofy sometimes, though.

Neutral Good "Pure Good"
"Benefactor"



A neutral good [person] will obey the law, or break it when he or she sees it will serve a greater good. He or she is not bound strongly to a social system or order. His or her need to help others and reduce their suffering may take precedence over all else. Neutral good [people] do good for goodness' sake, not because they are directed to by law or by whim.


This alignment desires good without bias for or against order.
