Comic Books

A place to discuss comic books of all types, from old to new, Big 2 to indie, and everything in between.

Floppies, graphic novels, compilations, omnibusses (omnibusi?) are all fair game.

There is only one rule:*

Comic Books is a no judgement zone.

You can talk all you want about how Rob Liefeld is trash, Bob Kane is an asshole, or Frank Miller and Dave Sim’s politics have made them toxic, that’s all good.

If, however, another user is LEGITIMATELY a fan of something you don’t like, that does NOT make them a lesser person. Attack the art for being bad, not the person for being a fan of bad art.

* I lied. There are TWO rules... No piracy. Cover shots? That's good. Interior pages, in moderation? Sure. Full books? Links to pirate sites? That's how we get things shut down. :(

I'm not saying it's been a problem, because it hasn't been.

Light week for me, thankfully, since I've had other things I needed. But still one I've been excited for!

Minor Threats II The Fastest Way Down #3 - Minor Threats is great, Scott Hepburn's art is so detailed in strange ways that just give you a taste of the scenery, and Patton Oswalt's writing is fantastic. Can't wait for the next series already, Minor Threats: Barfly, following one of those aforementioned background elements: what appears to be a punk kid that got Goldblumed (see: The Fly.)

Space Ghost #2 - It's no Coast to Coast but I liked issue #1, we'll see how long I stick with it.

I Hate Fairyland #15 - I love I hate Fairyland, as confusing as that sentence sounds.

What's on your lists?

Scarlett #1 - Been fairly interested in the Energon Universe and so far have only read Transformers. Feels like a good entry point to see if I'll like the G.I. aspect of the universe.

Kaya #19 - This continues to be one of my favourite indies. Wes Craig has crafted a really fun world with excellent characters. #19 is probably going to be the start of a new story arc.

X-Men #35 - I always struggled to really get into the X-Men comics longterm, but following the hype of X-Men '97 I figured might as well try again, especially considering that this issue is supposed to be a transition to their new era.

Birds of Prey #10 - Really looking forward to this. Birds of Prey is the best ongoing Big 2 book imo and one of the few I regularly check out.
