Stick the Armageddonquest series on your "must read" list...

Without a doubt, Armageddonquest is not only one of the best comic books that I have read, but also one of the best works of fiction I have been overall.Do not confuse this series with an average graphic novel. 6 years in the making (with some chapters taking over a year to develop), Mr. Roach's incredibly well written 900-page-epic is full of incredibly complex and well thought out characters, plot twists, action, and overall adventure. Somehow, through all the plots twists and turns, he manages to never lose the reader, nor contradict himself, all the while linking the story back to various prophecies. Mr. Roach is clearly a scholar, and both his research and creativity shine through on every page.While the art is at times crude, and while on a graphical level he may not be as good as others in the industry, he makes up for it and even goes beyond it through his storytelling and incredible plot. In the armageddonquest series, the black-and-white art is there to compliment the story, not drive it, and in this way, Mr. Roach has created a comic book that really sucks you in.900 pages is a lot for any man to write, and a 6 year project is enough for a life's work, but I certainly hope this is not the last I see of Mr. Roach's work. I'm hooked.
