Recommended Eva Manga reading please
I was wondering because I haven't read the manga (Sadamoto's) Is there any others worth reading or picking up?? I'm obviously a big Kaworu and Toji fan and was curious knowing that, are any of the AU Eva mangas deal deeper into there characters or them becoming Eva pilots and if so which ones are they and are they worth picking up.?
Why in God's name would I wanna keep writing about characters whose central preoccupation are weed and dick and fart jokes? I mean, ya gotta grow man. Don't you ever want anything more for yourself? I know this poor hapless son of a bitch does. I look into his sorry doe eyes and I just, I see a man crying out. He's crying out, "When Lord? When the fuck can your servant ditch this foul-mouthed little chucklehead to whom I am a constant victim of his folly, so much so that it prevents him from ever getting to kiss a girl! Fuck! When, Lord when? WHENS GONNA BE MY TIME?

Don't bother. They all pale in comparison to the series itself.
I'm rather surprised that you want MORE character development in Eva. Episodes 25 and 26 satisfied me in that regard.

Ran's persistent irony is a coping mechanism he uses to try and create some understanding of his paradoxical attraction to and disgust of the elitist bourgeois slaughterhouse in which he's forever trapped. --Muggy

Personally, I liked Girlfriend of Steel 2 (Angelic Days in the states). It has a nice plot being based off of that game, thought the artwork won't be everybody's cup of tea.
You should check out Sadamoto's manga as well just to see if you like it or not. And Gakuen Datenroku is going to be released stateside in August.
Ikari Shinji Raising Project may have good art, but really not much in the way of a plot like the other ones. (At least later volumes....)
There are various threads about all these manga which is why I didn't really go into describing them, but just look into what you think will personally interest you.

I thought both AD and Shinji Ikari Raising Project were cute, though obviously they're both moe/cliche/fanservice/wish-fulfillment fest. If you're as ignorant of anime and manga tropes as I am, you might like them.
Haven't read much of GD, but it looks like a farily generic action story with the characters from the original series. There's lots of Kaworu, if you like that.
Sadamoto's manga is great; it certainly beats the original in the coherence department. The tone is less schizophrenic than that of the original series and the characters and their relationships often make more sense than their celluloid counterparts. Rebuild essentially runs off thunder stolen from the manga, and not very well, at that.

He shuddered a bit, remembering the somewhat creepy level of detail Kaji had gone into, while rubbing a watermelon in a disturbingly sexual way.

Tangent about Sadamoto's manga split to a more appropriate place. Let's try to stay on topic, guys.
Last really on-topic thing from SaltyJoe (victim of split):

A quick note on Gakuen Datenroku: personally, i don't think it is anything special, but there is one chapter in it that is totally hilarious. It features Rei with a fetish for horse heads.

I really like the Sadamoto manga and would suggest getting that - For me I like how there's more Rei scenes and Shinji is less... pathetic for the most part.
There's a lot more Kaworu, though he's portrayed quite differently...
It hasn't concluded yet though so who knows how exactly it'll end up.
Angelic Days I wouldn't recommend... I thought it was short at 6 volumes long and the ending seemed rather abrupt.
I've read the first 3 Shinji ikari Raising Project and am enjoying that a lot more, but I'll have to see how the story progresses.

You should look into this Scooby Doo/Evangelion crossover I heard about:
However, I've only heard about it, and it seems to be a bit on the hard side to find. I hear it is worth reading once you find it.
The famous Mystery Inc. is taking a vacation in Japan. During a day trip, however, they run into much of the cast from Evangelion, hopelessly lost after a training exercise gone wrong. The group tells them of a mysterious string of events beginning to unfold inside the charitable NERV organization's headquarters. Could a mysterious gang known as The Angels be to blame?

So, they end up pulling off Keele's visor to reveal Gendo, who snarls "And I would have gotten away with it if it weren't for those meddling kids!", I presume.
