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.
See our sister sites!

After visiting the shop today, a couple of additions:
Doctor Werthless - A graphic novel biography of Doctor Frederic Wertham, author of the 1950s pop-psychology book "Seduction of the Innocent" which attempted to destroy the comics art form as we know it.
I've been reading it a little today, and while I'm sure the creators are biased against the doctor, the facts are somewhat damning.

Charlamagne tha God's ILLuminati - Pencilled by comics legend Denys Cowan and inked by equal legend Bill Sienkiewicz, TBH, I haven't read past Cowan and Sienkiewicz involvement, that was enough for me. :)
