Rassidan Posted March 1, 2014 Report Share Posted March 1, 2014 The last comic I read was Green Arrow: Year One. I have been considering picking up some of the new DC comics but am not sure where exactly to start as I am still disappointed they really don't have much on Raven, to my knowledge, since they reset. What we are born with, we must make our ownOr it remains a mere appurtenance.-Faust Link to comment

Atomic robo is comics as comics should be. Go to the atomic robo website and read the rules the creators set for themselves in writing it. That'll make you appreciate it fer sher.

2128m Posted April 15, 2014 Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 Just finished the last Runaways series (frustrating cliffhanger ending, though I guess Avengers Arena answered that question?) Getting caught up on Marvel at the moment. Finishing up X-Men Legacy and Secret Avengers before moving onto the "All-New Marvel NOW!" stuff. Link to comment
Zardoz Posted April 16, 2014 Report Share Posted April 16, 2014 I'm currently re-re-re-reading Planetary again. I love that series ever so much. Aside from that, I'm kind of in a comic book limbo until te next Hawkeye tbp comes out. Since I don't work at a comic shop anymore, I've fallen out of touch with what's been going on in the realm of comics. Questing!Current / 1 Link to comment

Raxie Posted April 28, 2014 Report Share Posted April 28, 2014 Just started Batman Year 100. Very good... very different. I highly recommend it I also am a huge loser and am reading the Buffy comics.

They're basically considered "seasons," following the show. You're not a loser. You just have excellent taste. I'm reading the Serenity comics that just started coming out. Same deal.

Raxie Posted April 29, 2014 Report Share Posted April 29, 2014 I actually have put off reading them for yearssss because I thought it crossed some uncrossable nerd line in my brain. But really I'm fine with it hahah. I've accepted my dorkiness and am actually really happy with my finally giving in. I'm also pumped they are as long as they are. I just got through the first omnibus of the first season and am so glad there are more that are still this season. Serenity comics??

Sleepless Posted May 8, 2014 Report Share Posted May 8, 2014 Anyone here read 68?I've read some really good things about the comic and what it does for the zombie genre and I've flipped through one of them in a bookstore and like the style, but I haven't seen the first issue; is it worth investing some time and money on this series?

smftexas86 Posted May 8, 2014 Report Share Posted May 8, 2014 Just started reading the new weekly series Batman: Eternal (amazingly cool series so far), picked up the #1 of the amazing spiderman (it was hilarious) and #1 Marvels original sin (not sure yet). I have to many plans for comic books and just not enough time in the day, still trying to finish out all of Neil Gaiman's Sandman to.

Legato Posted May 11, 2014 Report Share Posted May 11, 2014 Holy moly am I happy to have found this thread. =D I'm a little behind, but I'm a huge fan of Hawkguy, East of West, Sex Criminals, and Saga. Some all-time favs are Sandman (haven't read any of the new ones though), Y:The Last Man, and anything by Matt Kindt. I also just finished the first The Invisibles TPB, and uh...well, I don't think I get it. I go back and forth on Grant Morrison. I love We3, like Joe the Barbarian, and didn't care much for Animal Man. I thought Arkham Asylum was interesting, but mainly for the artwork. The Invisibles didn't make much sense to me, but I don't know if that's by design or if I'm a little slow. Anyone care to way in on good reasons to keep reading? I love love love comics and am super-excited about this thread. Link to comment
lumberjane Posted May 15, 2014 Report Share Posted May 15, 2014 Sex criminals! Also saga. Sooo into saga right now. At first I was like, eww, Romeo and Juliet in space, alright I get it. But it was so much better :3 Also I love how far comics have come mainstream wise. I bought my first copy of saga about a month ago and I swear I got so many admiring looks and 'saga?

Legato Posted May 15, 2014 Report Share Posted May 15, 2014 Saga is also my current go-to gateway comic. You know, the comic you give to people who say they don't like comics. Then they read Saga TPB 1, and the hook has been set. Lying Cat will turn anyone into a true believer. Link to comment
lumberjane Posted May 16, 2014 Report Share Posted May 16, 2014 Oh meng, I want a lying cat shirt so badAlso, you should really get on the new sandman train. I'm trying not to get my hopes up but it seems to be setting itself up to answer some big questions and play with some major ideas.

Legato Posted May 16, 2014 Report Share Posted May 16, 2014 I'm waiting for trades for Sandman. I don't think I can handle another series with an erratic release schedule. I have to wait longer, but then I get to binge. I can't wait though. I love Gaiman, and I love JH WIlliams III, so that book is just full of win. Link to comment
Robpocalypse Posted May 16, 2014 Report Share Posted May 16, 2014 I just finished the second omnibus if the Walking Dead. Have to say even though the show deviates substantially from the comic I think it retains the spirit pretty well. My only fear is that some characters in the show have become almost larger than the show itself and I hope the writers don't make too many concessions to keep alive fan favorites. Link to comment

Tbh I was never really super into the series for whatever reason, the tv show or the comics, but it got popular enough that it became a thing to do with friends so I did. Norman reedus tho. I do agree, after awhile, especially I the prison arc, you can tell they are just pandering hardcore to the audience and giving him thee 'best lines' or what their writers think are their best quips. I feel like that kills the realism for me when that becomes too plain X_x Also it used to really bug me how perfect Loris hair was all the time I'm waiting for trades for Sandman. I don't think I can handle another series with an erratic release schedule. I have to wait longer, but then I get to binge. I can't wait though. I love Gaiman, and I love JH WIlliams III, so that book is just full of win.It is tough taking things piece meal fo sho. I love the binge, but I'm also loving the dual covers and having something to look forward to every couple months I actually like the other artist cover a little better aesthetic wise, but I keep having to go with the Mckean covers because...it's like his sandman partner in crime, y'know?
