why does everybody keep saying i left...
i sign in everyday

sandman foreverrrrrrrrrrr.



watchmen, v for vendetta, the killing joke, and arkham asylum: a serious house on serious earth are all good too.

Y - the last man. Ex Machina is pretty cool too.

My mom's friend just said he'd send us his spare Batman: Year One and the Dark Knight Returns. I'm ****in psyched. I'm also thinking about checking out some of Grant Morrison's stuff, he sounds trippy. My comic wishlist is as follows:

Batman: The Long Halloween (comic)
From Hell (comic)
Swamp Thing (comic)
V For Vendetta (comic)
Sin City (comic)
The Question Series (comic)
100 Bullets (comic)
Obama (comic)
John McCain (comic)
Doom Patrol (comic)
Animal Man by Grant Morrison (comic)

I'm also probably gonna read Promethea soon.

Project OMAC had been a good comic a girl got me as a present.
All the super heroes were dying from project OMAC and the C.H.E.S.S. pieces.
Hard to explain, Im gonna need to find it.

Just read Blankets, it wasn't bad.

Also I recommend Apollo's Song by Osamu Tezuka it's a masterpiece.

I'm more into the Manga scene, some of the more popular series are actually really good, like Bleach.

No, not like Bleach.
That series makes want to swallow bleach.

Bleach is teh ****.
I bet you don't like Ghost In The Shell either right?

No Ghost is pretty good, but it lacks ferocity.

The TV show is so terrible, but it's probably one of my favorite manga.

Yugioh Manga was raw as shit, though.

I just read Book 1 of Alan Moore's Promethea and was pretty impressed. I just recently discovered that our public library system has over 4,000 graphic novels in their collection. I got Batman: The Killing Joke, Swamp Thing Reunion, and Franks Miller's Dark Knight Returns on my waitlist.

I was thinking about getting this series, mostly just because I like the artwork though...but now that I know it's a good read, it's a sure thing. 'Thanks!

For Christmas I got Jack Kirby's The Demon hardcover and I have to say it kicks ass. Many years ago I had the original series and sold it, and always regretted it, and I forgot what a kickass tale it is.

At the moment DC only have it in hardcover, but it is worth every penny!!

Kirby Rules!!

I recently just got a ****load of comics, which are:

Batman: The Long Halloween
Batman: The Dark Knight Returns
Batman: Year One
Saga of the Swamp Thing
Cthulhu Tales: Tainted
Brooklyn Dreams
Light Brigade
Blood

I'm reading the Long Halloween right now. It's very interesting, and has a unique take on the art and writing; it's very Noir, which is what they were going for.

Any JTHM fans besides me? It's soo good:

The early Bernie Wrightson ones are kickass!!!

I like Squee. That was a pretty good comic. I think it's by the same person, since Johnny was in a part of it.

It is. Squee is pretty good, but I like the morbid humour of JTHM.

I like the dude that makes em, cuz he makes Invader Zim too. He's a good man.

I was really into Punisher a few years back. I remember being so excited when the movie came out a year or so after reading the comics and then finding out that it's one of the worst super hero movies ever made.

Jimmy Corrigan, the Smartest Kid on Earth.

Most depressing comic in the world. You will kill yourself after reading.

Great book! I managed to avoid suicide after reading it but just barely. :D

Yeah, I was definitely hanging on by a thread.

I just finished this 4 part comic series called Blood. It's pretty trippy, and had great artwork, a cool painted look. Neat story... just all around. You gaiz might likez it.

Has anyone read Neil Gaiman and Dave McKean's Mr. Punch?

Can't say I have. Describe them for my interest.

It's essentially a Punch & Judy story but really abstract and crazy. It's impossible to explain.

I don't know Punch and Judy either. I'm lame, I suppose?

If it's Neil Gaiman related I must check it out.

Has anyone mentioned Persepolis yet? I love the first one, and Persepolis 2 is pretty good to.

DC has a lot of great comics cause it's got such great iconic characters.

I pretty much recommend anything by

Alan Moore- Simply the best ever. Anything by him. His DC work is all incredible. I also recommend DR & Quinch and Miracleman.

Frank Miller (until 9/11-- afterwhich he goes a bit nutty and produces crap- his All Star Batman is awful). Batman: Year One is always re-readable and The Dark Knight Returns is brilliant, too-- although I think we're now approaching the time frame when it takes place).

Grant Morrison: Probably my second favorite comic book writer of all time-- Animal Man, Doom Patrol, the latest Batman run, Arkham Asylum-- he also did a great Batman mini called Gothic, and All-Star Superman is a great comic, too. his JLA stuff was very innovative too and still holds up.

Garth Ennis: Hellblazer, Preacher on the DC side-- Punisher on the Marvel. Just a great story teller with a wicked sense of humor.


Batman: Killing Joke

Morrison's got a new series out, too, a Justice League one called Final Crisis. It looks pretty good.

And I heard someone say once that Killing Joke was one of Moore's weakest work, which is weird because it's still good as hell.

Here are a few I have enjoyed lately:

The Seven Soldiers of Victory... orginally presented as 7 4 issue mini series' with bookend comics for a pro and epilogue, thye have been collected into four TPBs. These comics are so incredible cause as each series, they contain a full story, but with the other series, they become this giant all-encompassing story and the TPB contains the entire story, in chronological order.

The cool thing is they didn't use huge well known characters: Zatanna (from JLA), Klarion the Witch Boy(from The Demon), DC's Frankenstein (from Creature Commandos), the Guardian (from Superman) and others. Well written and a delight to look at by a variety of artists.

It would be remiss to not mention the Preacher either... 9 volumes of brilliant storytelling.

Does anyone know of a good site for downloading comics?

Check your inbox.

Anyhow I've been contemplating creating one, but thank you adidasss for digging it up.

I am a huge comic fan, both webcomics and paper back ones. I have to say I am a DC man over Marvel, however I mainly deal with Vertigo. My favourite comic series is Transmetropolitan followed by Fell and then Preacher. Transmetro and Fell are both written by Warren Ellis who I think is one of the best writers in years, the artwork for Transmetro is done by Darick Robertson and Ben Templesmith (of 30 Days of Night fame) does the artwork for Fell. Garth Ennis does the writing for Preacher and Steve Dillion does the artwork and I jsut gotta say this, it involves an Irish vampire, nuff said.

Something more specialized than demonoid per'aps, some forum or summat?

Most of the ones I'd suggest have already been posted - The Sandman, DC's Frankenstein, Sin City. If you're in for the long haul, it's always enjoyable to read as many X-Men books as possible. I was most recently impressed by Wolverine: The End - it's '03, but I hadn't read it. It's pretty good.

Definitely check out Marvel's Deadpool comics, he's probably one of the most enjoyable characters in the Marvel Universe if you're into wiseass mercenaries and gallows humor.

The Marvel Zombies comics were okay, it was the art that was most appealing in my opinion - but check 'em out, if only for that.

However, if you want to foray into the completely bizarre, check out Bob Burden's The Flaming Carrot. Spectacularly odd in the best way possible.

I recently bought my first graphic novel. The Amory Wars: The Second Stage Turbine Blade, the comic that the lyrics of Coheed and Cambria are based off of.
It's astounding, really, that such a creative and progressive band can be based off of such bullocks.
