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.

New list is up! Some good stuff this week.

Minor Arcana #5 - A woman moves back to her hometown when her mother gets sick, and she has to run the family psychic busines she thinks is bullshit. Only, she discovers there may be much more to it than meets the third eye (pun intended) when she has visions of her own. Written and drawn by Jeff Lemire who did Fishflies, also great.

From The World Of Minor Threats The Brood #2 - Minor Threats seems to be delivering again as usual, these books are good.

Shadow Of The Golden Crane #1 - I don't know anything about it but it looks neat.

Space Ghost #9 - Still following SG but I'm behind on it.

I Hate Fairyland #19 - Gert fucking shit up as usual, plays on my Happy Tree Friends nostalgia and has a better story, what's not to love?

Moon Is Following Us #5 - The fight to get their daughter back seems to grow tougher by the issue, but then if it didn't it wouldn't be much of a comic I guess now would it?

Well looks like that's it for me, what's on your pull lists this week?

From The World Of Minor Threats The Brood #2 - Finally caught up on all the Minor Threats stuff, pretty brilliant.

Green Lantern Fractured Spectrum #1 - Entry point to all the new GL stuff this year.

Jenny Sparks #6 (Of 7) - Almost the end here, no idea where it's going.

Justice League Unlimited:
Challengers Of The Unknown #2 (Of 6)
Question All Along The Watchtower #3 (Of 6)

Next entries in the JLU adjacent titles, these and Atom Project.

Skin Police #4 (Of 4) - Final issue, basically "What if Blade Runner was clones instead of androids?"

Space Ghost #9 - Surprising how good this has been...

Ultimate Wolverine #1 (Of 12) - I know, I know, it LOOKS kind of lame, but all the Ultimate stuff has been good to date.

Exceptional X-Men #5 - All of the X books are in decline now, but this is probably the best of them.

You Won't Feel A Thing #1 - New DSTLRY book! Woo! By Scott Snyder AND Jock! Woo!

Yeah I've been loving Minor Threats, the world has a lot of depth to it! I loved Patton on Reno 911 and from his stand up back in the day, and now this too!

Looks like I missed the DSTLRY one from my list but I'll be grabbing that too! If my shop gets it, they were missing blood brothers last week.
