I was just listing comics that came out in 2004. They now fall under the label of "Classic" for just being ten years old.

I think that should be rated as a classic, though I should probably wait until he finishes the whole thing before passing final judgement.

Good idea, but not anything I'd label as "can't miss." Chris Weston's artwork is extremely good though.
