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.

My Bad Escape From Peculiar Island #5 - Last one in this dumb ass series lol, why not.

Helen Of Wyndhorn #5 - This series has been good, I kinda hope it gets picked up.

Batman The Long Halloween The Last Halloween #1 - I guess I'm going to pick this up, but I haven't read the first series.

Lobo Cancellation Special #1 - Idk much about Lobo but this looks alright.

Creepshow Volume 3 #1 - It's here! The first two were so good! Need more. MORE!

Drawing Blood #6 - Tbh I've been slacking on this one but I'm still picking it up, I'll get to it.

Universal Monsters Frankenstein #2 - Really dug the first one, I'll keep picking this up.

Dick Tracy #5 - Dick Tracy rules! I need to buy a yellow trenchcoat for no reason.

Deadpool Team-Up #2 - Deadpool & Dragons™ I guess. Pretty weird but I'm giving it a shot. I'm not usually into marvel but I do like old Deadpool (and & Cable) and I think I'm gonna pick up whatever Deadpool Liefeld does, probably not any other stuff though (though I heard Scott Aukermann wrote one and I would like to find that lol).

Looks like that's it for me! Fucking hyped about Creepshow! What're you guys picking up?

Action Comics #1069 - Kind of bummed at how the Absolute Power crossover messed up everything, but I guess it's almost over?

Batman The Brave And The Bold #17 - Still a great anthology book.

Black Cloak #8 - Good book, glad it's back for another run.

Cyberpunk 2077 Kickdown #3 - Weird case of comic books being better than the video games.

Falling In Love On The Path To Hell #4 - Loving this.

Flash #13 - One of the books untouched by Absolute Power, has been an interesting treatise on the Speed Force.

Green Arrow #16 - Kind of bummed at how the Absolute Power crossover messed up everything, but I guess it's almost over?

Helen Of Wyndhorn #5 (Of 6) - Awww... it's almost over?

Missionary #1 - Really like the DSTLRY books, oversized magazine format, top creators, quality reads.

Outsiders #11 (Of 12) - I did not realize this was a limited run. :(

Phases Of The Moon Knight #2 (Of 4) - Moon Knight with an Assassin's Creed vibe. I'm in.

Power Girl #13 - Another book untouched by Absolute Power. Another great book.

Space Ghost #5 - Didn't we JUST get #4? Maybe I'm behind on reading it.

Spectregraph #3 - Really like the DSTLRY books, oversized magazine format, top creators, quality reads.

Ultimate Spider-Man #9 - I've been buying the Ultimate stuff out of habit, but I need to knuckle down and read it all.

Uncanny X-Men #3 - One of the few new X-books worth reading.

Zatanna Bring Down The House #4 - Black Label Zatanna. Yes!

Idk I want to say I already have Space Ghost #5 too. This seems to be a limited edition cover or something, "Cover F Cho Limited Edition."

Yeah I hope Helen of Wyndhorn gets picked up, it feels like this is just the beginning of the story rather than the end.

Sounds like I need to check out Helen.

I'd recommend it for sure! I like the art, and the basic synopsis so far is Helen's author dad dies and she's whisked away to her nearest living kin, her grandfather, who lives in a palatial estate where she continues being a lush. As it turns out those fantastical books about far away realms written by her father may not be as fictitious as she once believed, however...
