I bought the comic book to take with me on holiday to Spain, after spending half an hour browsing the comics section of the bookshop for some reading material to bring... I left it in my bag at the airport coffee shop by accident but that's another story.
So yah I read the comic book first and was so blown away by it I went on the 'net to see what else I could dig up about the story. Discovered the movies, and obtained the first one. Watched it, loved it (though was slightly disappointed, as one always is when seeing a movie production of a wonderful book/comic) and decided against watching either of the sequels.
Oh yeah and the Crow movie soundtrack is awsome. Burn made me pick up some other music by Cure (never listened to them before then) but I was disappointed that most of their work isn't as powerful as Burn.
