Ouch... Which invalidates my recommendation (not because they are good or bad, but just because I'm not reading them). Well, as I go check those two titles out, anyone want to add a more legitimate and researched recommendation to the world's most inept thread? :) PS - Thanks, Ice - Both for...

I have a few that I would like to pick, but am not going to break my only rule :) Choose a single creator (writer or artist) that you would recommend based only on the on-goings they are currently producing. Try to NOT let past creations play into the equation. I will suggest the front...

Once again -very similar! Black Science was great! I'm going to suggest you check out Zero by Ales Kot (on Image) Different artist on each issue, but the colorist is the same, and as a result, the continuity is in the 'palette' - Great story so far, with a broken narrative feel. Similar vibe to...

Ok, I'll stop being a goofball long enough to ask a related side question (because the notion of the 'perfect' comic interests me :) ) Are you currently reading anything that MAY turn into the perfect comic for you, but you're not yet sure because it's incomplete? Both Saga and Manhattan...

...and I bet you ARE OLDER than you were a year ago. It's happening. Come to think of it, I don't think I've ever seen the two of us in the same room at the same time. Weird!

I dropped out of the line for the last while, BUT, if you take me, add the ability to spell, and to create sentences at an adult level, I could have honestly written every single sentiment expressed above by E. Every nuance of the line seems to have struck us identically. E - if you switch...

I love this thread! I'm going to make a list here of the comics that are on goings, and whose next issue I am most looking forward to. Manhattan Projects Saga East of West Zero Velvet Lazarus Sheltered Five Ghosts Morning Glories Pretty Deadly Chew It's official...ten (or...

Coming late to the party... Just saw it, and though it was good, but not great. I get that the middle part of the movie was supposed to show us 'the man without the armor', but I found its execution a little boring. I also thought the 'Power Pepper' was a little cheesey. This movie was in the...

They are quite good. I suppose this will sound silly, but one plus Valiant has (for me) over Image is that their books are in the same universe- there are crossovers. So it reminds me of Marvel when I was a kid... Cool crossover events without 'creativity - crushing' decades of continuity to...

While I have been a Marvel guy for over 30 years, the truth right now, IMO, is that Image is significantly, consistently better than both of these options. Reading review sites with no agendas ( comicbook roundup.com, the rottentomatoes of comics, for example), and checking the Eisner nominees...

It's funny you mentioned Preacher... It's also in this category for me. Conversely, there's stuff that I buy just because of the art/artist, but I suppose that's another thread. :)

Do you have any titles, past or present, that seem to be hailed as great, but you just can't read because you don't like the art? This thread isn't intended to anger people, though being critical of something almost universally liked will, by nature, do just that. I, for example, have...

Re: Saga by Brian K Vaughan and Fiona Staples Haha - bet the pub was Maxwell's Plum? (sorry for hijacking the thread - I LOVE Saga!!) :)

Re: Saga by Brian K Vaughan and Fiona Staples Halifax NS? Which store if you don't mind me asking? (I'm from NS)

Going with a writer that's a personal sure thing might be a good starting point. I think it was you that had responded to a question I had about reading order on Hickman's FF... and I remember you voicing positive things about his Avengers title (BTW, as much as I enjoyed Avengers 1 and 2, I...
