We're doing manga? good cause i recently started reading Danzai no judith.



Description:

Manipulating a demon with a worm-eaten body, the girl exterminates all sinners!! Accepting requests from the families of victims killed unreasonably, boys and girls are set on continuing to kill the sinners. They are responsible for this business without knowing when it will end, but also unable to live a different life,

What this description fails to mention is that in the between moments of the story there are some bdsm scenes.

I started reading Batman recently, after seeing Batman vs Superman. I'm loving it. Batman is a charming character (not saying this because of Ben Affleck), I should have started to read it before.

Do you have any advice to give me about Batman comics?
I read "The Dark Knight returns" by Frank Miller, recently, and I found it very interesting...

If you want, I can hook you up with some comic book download sites where you can find literally almost anything you could think of. That's the easiest way to really get into comics without spending all your money, and dealing with Amazon or special orders through your local comic book shop. Not saying you shouldn't buy comics (I still make my weekly pilgrimage to my comic shop and spend anywhere from $10 to $25 every time), but just like music downloading, I wouldn't have gotten into it or found so many things to spend my money on without it.

But as to Batman comics you should check out: for a more traditional B-Man experience that still has a high artistic level, you gotta go with The Long Halloween next, and then its sequel, Dark Victory; The Killing Joke is short, but it's also the definitive Joker story in comics, and has been the basis for every interpretation of the character since it was published in 1986 (it was pretty much the textbook that Nolan and Ledger followed for his portrayal in The Dark Knight Returns); after that, you need to check out all of Grant Morrison's comics, such as the surrealist acid trip that is Arkham Asylum: A Serious House on Serious Earth, and then read his brilliant run on the monthly series in the early-mid 00's; and Scott Snyder's run on the current series is also pretty fantastic.

After that then there are five million other Batman comics that will rock your ****: Arkham Asylum: Living Hell by Dan Slott, The Man Who Laughs, Hush, etc. There's so much brilliant Batman out there that I have only scratched the surface, so this list isn't exhaustive by any means, but it's a good place to start.

You gave me a lot of elements, thank you! Unfortunately, in my town and in the near ones, the aren't any comic shops, so I have to buy or read comics on the Internet. I bought online a few days ago a Snyder's 2015 comic, the vol.33. However, I think The Killing Joke and Arkham Asylum will be the next ones that I'll try to find and buy. Maybe a whole life wouldn't be enough to read all Batman comics ahahaha, but I'll do my best!

I haven't gotten much past issue twenty or so of Snyder's run, but the opening arc, The Court of Owls, is fantastic, and Death of the Family (marking the return of the Joker, in quite possibly his most depraved incarnation in any medium) is also excellent.

Killing Joke and Arkham Asylum are definitely fantastic starting points. I will reiterate that you need The Long Halloween in your life. It's one of, if not the longest, Batman graphic novel, so you can really immerse yourself in it in a way that you can't with shorter books like the above two. It's the quintessential Batman story IMO. Oh, and I totally forgot to mention Year One. It was written by the same guy who did The Dark Knight Returns, and is generally regarded as the second-best Batman story ever (after DKR).

You are a real Bat-encyclopedia Now I'm searching for a website where I can read The Killing Joke and Arkham Asylum in Italian (I understand English, but it's easier to read in my first language ahahaha). I will search for The Long Halloween too!

The Batlord

Good luck, but I doubt you'll be able to find anything like that. I've found a website that allows you to read The Killing Joke (in English), but other than that you'll have to download. And 99.9% of downloads are in English. I think you're just gonna have to bite the bullet and starting reading 'Murican.

I've found Spanish translations of certain comics on Pastebin.com, so that might help you, but I kind of doubt it. It's probably just the one guy posting Spanish translations.
