You touch upon a curious facet of my character, which I've been grappling with for ages. Namely, that this title aside, I've never read any comics. And I've mentioned elsewhere that I've never been into any of the other standard fandom fare which people commonly associate with "nerd culture."

That has been challenging when I try to join "nerd" communities online in an effort to find "my people" only to be completely lost by all of their memes and cultural references. I've not seen any superhero films, or TV shows, or anime, am not into cosplay, or video games, or RPGs, have never seen Star Wars, or participated in any of the other standard nerd activities.

But my musical interests are all-consuming. The most concise response I've been able to pen summarizing my sonic proclivities clocks in at just under 350 words and closes with a Fruchterman-Reingold graph, to which I'm usually met with jeers or dismissal for my use of terminology like "quasi-geometric transformational linearity."

All the more reason that I'm glad MB is here.

You should check out Watchmen. Anything by Alan Moore in general tbh: Miracleman/Marvelman, Swamp Thing, etc.

I actually haven't read the comic yet but I remember the movie not being all that great. The comic is considered one of his absolute best though so I'd definitely suggest giving it a try.

Oh and Judge Dredd is the ultimate post-apocalyptic, dystopian comic. There's a bunch of collections of the entire series (34 volumes at this point I believe). I highly recommend that ****.
