Comic Book Discussion!

Last I read was the Darkseid War and boy did shit hit the fan.

Rereading the entire Series of Ultimate Marvel

Old Man Logan

wow only marvel? Why though?

I highly recommend everything Arleston did; like the Troy franchise or Ythaq. Lanfeust of Troy made me fall in love with french comics. Somehow it all feels so exotic and fresh with extremely likeable characters.

Last thing I read was Saga ;_;

Not so sure I want to publicly recommend it lol But the Crossed series is my favorite comic series. If you like or can appreciate pretty fucked up stories, it might be worth checking out. It definitely isnt for everyone though

I don't read the same kind of comics but here are mine :
Criminal
Fatale
Transmetropolitan
DMZ
The boys
Black Science
Fear Agent

I recommend each of them !

Iron Man - Secret Origin of Tony Stack #1, =p.

seriously though i hardly read comics, back in the day i used to read couple of archie's xd.

I just binged through Grant Morrison's New X-Men (I think it's like 40 issues). Next up is probably Agent Venom.
I'm also reading Batman, Batwoman, All Star Batman and Harley Quinn monthly atm

I'm pretty tired right now, but I have bookmarked this thread and will reply later for sure (I LOVE reading comic books!).

Great idea for a thread, by the way!:)

The current Superman series. It cannot get enough praise.
Or, if you want something old but great, hunt down Marvel's ROM series. One of the most overlooked greats of the 80s.

I used to read Foxtrot a lot. Not so much any more but I still have a few books.
Now we just collect random comics to wallpaper our computer room with.

Seems worth mentioning that there's a Humble Comics Bundle going on right now (the 3rd or so this year, I think--past ones have been exceptionally good, especially the Image comics bundle that included Saga, among many others): https://www.humblebundle.com/books/kevin-smith-comics

I'm now reading Barefoot Gen. It's historical, autobiographical, satirical and anti-war. It reminds me of Maus, but more violent and tragic. It's shocking at times, but it tells about really important things that people shouldn't forget

I'd recommend Fables.

If you can read frensh I'd recommend Donjon de Naheulbeuk
It's about a group of adventurers in a kind of tabletop universe - it's a pretty fun read (or you can listen to the audio. Originally it started off as an audio series)

English: Walking Dead
Dutch: Urbanus (I own them all, too bad this isn't in English because this is genius.)

East of West is such a killer.. if only the waiting between issues wasnt so damn long(but worth it!) .

And then there is The Killer that I often end up rereading

Also if you like reading strips you can check out The Realist

I've collected comics for many years now (decades now). It started at a used-book store when I would buy them for 10cents each! I would buy House of Mystery, Ghosts, Baron Weirwulf's Haunted Library, House of Secrets, Dr. Spektor, and many other tales of horror! My dad was given a cottage at Rondeau Park for the entire Summer, and he was allowed to take his entire family with him (he was an OPP officer). So, I would bring a stack of comics with me and read them over and over again. I could never get enough!

As the years went on, I actually started collecting comics for actually "collecting" in addition to the joy of reading them. I started with The New Mutants (I have the first appearance of Deadpool! Yay!), then collected several other X-Men titles over the years (I have some X-Men issues starting around issue #106 or so, and continued the series when it became Uncanny X-Men).

One of my favourite stories was the one where the Brood went and infected a bunch of people (including Wolverine!). I remember his healing factor eventually won out and destroyed the Brood parasite before it could fully take him over. The last scene from that issue (#24) is pretty chilling! In it, Wolverine is about to kill a young teenage boy that was infected by a Brood Wolverine has his clenched hand under the boy's chin, ready to pop his claws. Storm (I believe it was her) is there, and tells Wolverine "It's just a little boy!" (this is when the Brood reverted to the image of the boy). To this, Wolverine replies "There is no boy. Just a Brood." and all you see after that is Storm's horrified expression and the trademark 'Snikt' blazoned across the panel.

Right now, I collect a lot of indie titles, the main Bat-Titles (including Harley Quinn) and a couple of others from DC, and a few Marvel titles Squirrel Girl, The Punisher, and Venom).

I am reading Afterlife With Archie and Chilling Tales of Sabrina, two titles that take a decided dark turn in the Archie universe! For example, the first issue of Afterlife With Archie has Reggie hit Jughead's dog Hot Dog whilst driving drunk! Hot Dog is killed, and Jughead brings Hot Dog to Sabrina so she can bring his beloved pet back to life. Despite her protestations, she brings the dog back to life, and that is when the poop hits the fan! He has been brought back like the animals in Pet Semetary (the Stephen King novel), and Hot Dog bites Jughead!

Jughead becomes infected with a fever and eventually passes away himself! That isn't the end of Jughead, however! He comes back as a zombie, and subsequently devours his parents! As each issue arrives, more and more citizens of Riverdale are consumed and become zombies themselves (animals can become zombified in this world). Unfortunately, the series has stopped at Issue #9, and I am unsure if it will ever be completed. :(

Here is a small sampling of other titles I read:

1. Rachel Rising
2. Mind The Gap (seems to have ended with a proper finale...grrrrr!)
3. Fables
4. Y: The Last Man (hated the ending! Yuck!)
5. Chew

And...well, I shall continue this later.;)

Currently reading:
Usagi Yojimbo, Saga

My favourite comics:
Blacksad, Grandville, Fables, Criminal, Watchmen, Maus, Hellboy and BPRD (read all comics made by Mignola, they're great), Y: The Last Man, Metabarons, Valerian and Laureline, Sin City, Incal, Locke and Key, Sandman, Mezolith, Providence, Preacher, The Wicked + The Divine, The Fade Out, Transmetropolitan, Tintin, Coraline

Dynamite Comics all the way!
But, in truth my favorite comics are always the crossovers.
Like the Amalgam Universe or the JLA/Avengers, mmm I always remember that fight between Batman and Cap.
I also really enjoyed the original Marvel Civil War and DC's Injustice comics (what can I say I enjoyed the game, the comics are just better)
But the problem with both Marvel and DC is simple fact it's always ongoing. No end to the stories.
I like self-contained stories, here is the beginning here is the end, but with the way they have it, here is the story......... here is the end..... okay we reset it so you can read it from the start again. Whats the point?

I guess thats the problem with all comics really.

Favorites Include

The Amalgam Universe (Marvel/DC), JLA/Avengers (Marvel/DC), The Injustice Comics (DC), and I could probably put the majority of Dynamites catalog here but I won't and just say there Legenderry series is aaaawesome.

Nearly 1 year bump xD
Been reading comics like a madman since I last posted here, but now I've read over 5,000 comics!
I keep track using a website, here

Currently reading Lucifer

I've only read The Walking Dead. The comics were expensive af, so I had to get them through less than legitimate means (because I didn't really know if I could get into comics or whether the expense would've been worth it).

I liked the first 100 issues, but I understood that 2€ (now 3-4€) for an issue is just too damn expensive for me.
I'd like to get into them, but I need like a 10€-15€ bundle for something like all the previous issues of Batman or something. :D
