Is anyone here reading Dial H?
Because it's one of the most promising new series I've read in a long, long time. Endlessly creative, and completely heartfelt, DC has a real (critical) hit on its hands.
If you are, or if you aren't, check out this little thing I wrote up about it!
50 Reasons I Should Not Write Comics: Dial H: Rotary, But Never Rote
I'm reading the series and enjoy the run. I just wished the that 0 issue came after the end of this current story arc.
I read #1 and it stunk. One of the worst comics I've read in a llooonnnnggggg time.
I didn't drop it yet, though, because those covers by Bolland are killer.
I read #0 and it was actually quite good. I don't know if I'll go back and reread 1 or read 2 to 4.
"I’m a nasty piece of work, chief, ask anybody."
"You ate the 'ony'!"
"I'm vilifying you for God's sake – pay attention!"
"You look far enough into the future, you're bound to see something you don't like. People forget: we're all programmed to die."
"Have we been here before or are we yet to come?"
"What the Hell is the difference between a painting done by someone who chooses to paint like a child and a child's painting?"
I've been reading it so far, but looking for a jumping off point. And Ponticelli becoming the new artist with #7 has given me exactly what I wanted. Uggh.
DAMN i thought i was the only one. But its not one of the WORST comics ive ever readOriginally Posted by HellBlazerRaiser

Dial H has gotten better with each new issue. Keep reading!
It's a fantastic book. So dense and layered. DC is lucky to have someone like China Mieville. He should write a Vertigo book.
Absolutely love this comic, even though it's been a bit all over the place. The zero issue was amazing.
I wanted to like it, I really did, but after giving the story six issues to pull me in I had to drop it. Maybe it will read better as a collected edition, but the plot was just moving way too slow for me.
Lovely Bolland covers, though.
Same. Something never quite gelled for me.
