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.

It's a great comic but I don't recommend it to anybody who enjoyed the Jim Carey movie. It's very very thematically different.

What about people who enjoyed the animated series?

We do not speak of the dark arts.

Jokes aside, the comic revolved around insecurity leading to death and violence like a curse, and the TV-Show was rated PG.

Somewhere around here I've got the 1st appearance:

Concrete looks like a chill dude

[–] jordanlund@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Concrete was TOTALLY chill... for a dude who was kidnapped by aliens and put into an artificial body made of concrete.

All really good stuff!

Where can I find these historic documents? If there was such a Torrent of data flying my way, I would Use a net to catch them all
