All of the Phonogram covers are copies of essential britpop album covers, with characters from the series replacing the original figures etc. It's a great look, directly ties into the story, and each issue usually featured a look into the cover-album as well. If you even recognized the cover to THIS IS HARDCORE, then this graphic novel is probably for you, sir. Aaron: No it wouldn’t actually.

It's sort of like CINDERELLA but, like... dirty or something. The art is nice, and every chapter ends on a cliffhanger, but without anyone dying. The end of the series was disappointing to me, because I didn't like the chick he ends up with. It'll do well enough, I think. I'm not familiar with GIN TAMA, but I think I've heard of it... ?
