Comic Books
A place to discuss comic books of all types, from old to new, Big 2 to indie, and everything in between.
Floppies, graphic novels, compilations, omnibusses (omnibusi?) are all fair game.
There is only one rule:*
Comic Books is a no judgement zone.
You can talk all you want about how Rob Liefeld is trash, Bob Kane is an asshole, or Frank Miller and Dave Sim’s politics have made them toxic, that’s all good.
If, however, another user is LEGITIMATELY a fan of something you don’t like, that does NOT make them a lesser person. Attack the art for being bad, not the person for being a fan of bad art.
* I lied. There are TWO rules... No piracy. Cover shots? That's good. Interior pages, in moderation? Sure. Full books? Links to pirate sites? That's how we get things shut down. :(
I'm not saying it's been a problem, because it hasn't been.
See our sister sites!

Do you have a library in your area?
Have you gone and gotten a library card?
If so, then you might be able to use Hoopla to have access to more comic book publishers.
Related to the other comments, I read Marvel and DC up until I switched to Hellboy of Dark Horse Comics having wanted to read more indie comics that I currently enjoy now, although I still read physical comics of the Big Two that they have.
They have LOTS of comics with up to six borrows per month enabling you to find what you want.
Maybe you also like manga that they have too?
Because they recently added manga to their repertoire of readable materials although I’ve mainly used Hoopla for reading comics.
I will look into hoopla. But absolutely not a fan of manga.
I totally get that. Manga comes from a country (Japan) with different values than ours.
The same goes for anime, another topic.
