The Comic Book Thread

[mittens]

Tend to opt for stand alone or short series graphic novels myself (with the exception of Thor which I try and keep up with fairly consistently).

I Read 'Arkham Asylum: A Serious House On Serious Earth' last night.
It was fantastic. Honestly the best art I've ever seen in a comic.
Really liked the direction they went with in regard to the characters as well (especially Maxie Zeus). I really got a feel for each character's specific mental illness and could easily peg which villain had what psychological disorder, rather then the usual comic book insane eccentric weirdo shtick. Kind of disappointed that Scarecrow only had a small cameo though, as I feel he has the potential to rival Joker as greatest villain in the Batman universe, but constantly gets down played as a bit of a joke.
Anyway, highly reccomend this one, best Batman comic I have ever read (better than Year One, Dark Knight Returns, Killing Joke etc.).

Also, because I can't stress enough how great the artwork is, here are some examples:

(was gonna embed, but they're fucking huge)

So, anyone else read comics? What are you into? Read anything lately?

[twofivefour]

I've been keeping up on Spider-man and The Immortal Iron Fist.

I won't touch on the whole One More Day debacle, but I've been enjoying the Brand New Day stories. There's a lot of fun and life injected into them, along with a revamp of the Rogues Gallery. Even if Eddie Brock isn't seen again, knowing that Anti-Venom exists makes me happy - then again, I like my comics with a side of zany.

Fraction's work on Iron Fist... Wow. I don't think I can adequately describe how much I like this series. The new writer is doing OK, too.
Waiting for the Fat Cobra limited series now.

[Dastardly]

Been meaning to pick up Iron Fist for a while.

My recommendation is Captain Britain and MI:13, which can best be summed up with the storyline that British Superheroes (and Blade) go fight Dracula on the moon. Haven't actually read that part myself, but it's an excellent read (and it's been cancelled, so there'll only be a finite amount of stuff to collect)

[twofivefour]

Yeah, the recent Pete Wisdom / MI:13 stuff has been a lot of fun. Poor John Lennon.

I still haven't seen the new Agents of Atlas series, but the last one was decent, and I would recommend it.

[Dastardly]

So, how do you get your comics man? Download/TPB/Singles?

Used to get singles, but since I'm been 'around' and not having regular access to my comic store I've switched to TPBs (although, that said, MI:13 is the only thing I've got recently).

Now thinking about it, I might investigate getting Starman

[twofivefour]

Seeing as there's no local dedicated stores, whatever I can get through local newsagencies - which are surprisingly well-stocked.
TPBs when I travel to a larger place. Like Newcastle.

[mittens]

Amazon for me. Just ordered all the Sand Man absolute editions. About $60 US a pop, but totally worth it, looks beautiful.

[meatrocket]

Still lamenting the fact that J. Michael Straczynski's run on Thor is coming to an end.

[mittens]

Still lamenting the fact that J. Michael Straczynski's run on Thor is coming to an end.
Yeah, it's a shame, I quite liked his work. Never been a huge fan of Silver Surfer, but the stuff he did on that was pretty great too.

[mittens]

So, I just finished reading all five volumes of Scott Pilgrim.

Always passed up on reading it because the art style irked me and from what I could gather, the humour was rather lolz so random. Regardless, a friend of mine assured me it was great and honestly, I wasn't disappointed. Don't get me wrong, it wasn't anything spectacular, but it did serve as a nice distraction on those nights where I couldn't sleep.

It did have genuinely funny moments and even though the story wasn't the greatest, it still has me wanting to know what happens in the last issue. So, all things considered, I would recommend this to anyone with a bit of time to kill.

Edit: Also, started reading Starman TPB's. Where have you been all my life?

[TAT]

Amazon for me. Just ordered all the Sand Man absolute editions. About $60 US a pop, but totally worth it, looks beautiful.
Well, yeah, I totally can't afford that so I just downloaded all 75 books.

So far I'm absolutely loving it (about halfway done)

[mittens]

Digging up painful memories of when I once had money.

Seriously though, the Sand Man absolute editions are probably the best collected comics I have ever come across. Each page is just huge and beautiful.

[Dastardly]

Edit: Also, started reading Starman TPB's. Where have you been all my life?
Times in which the phrase 'Compared to you, I'm Chris Issac' will be appropriate.

Sad.

[Dastardly]

Also, picked up the third and final Captain Britain and MI:13 trade today, Vampire State. Not even having read it, the premise alone of going and fighting Dracula on the moon is awesome enough to give it full recommendation.

May also be picking up the War of Kings hardback next week.

Man, within the context of his songs, you could say that to anyone currently in a relationship.

[Dastardly]

Who would get it?

Besides
"Man, my relationship is shit"
"Yeah, well compared to you I'm Chris Isaac"

Would probably just produce something along the lines of "lol, wut?"

[meatrocket]

They are heathens not getting references about Chris Isaak.

[mittens]

Dr. Doom is the most sinister villain ever concocted. Example:

http://i170.photobucket.com/albums/u274/jujibelly_album/ProblemHulk.jpg

http://i170.photobucket.com/albums/u274/jujibelly_album/DoomPedo.jpg

Trolling Hulk seems like it would be way too easy for someone of Doom's intellect.
I would have thought he would spend his spare time trolling Richards and asking Sue to post tits.

[eintein]

HMM, SO MANY KIDS, SO LITTLE TIME

[mittens]

The subtleties are brilliant.
The subject in the e-mail to Ben had me lollin.
Doom is such a dick.

[Quatterarbro]

That's awesome.

p.s. someone with MS Paint skills, make a Dr Doom Troll Face please

Finally found the full comic.

Requesting this be moved so links can be posted.

[Dastardly]

Just say what thread you're posting it in, no need to move the whole thread.

Also, I'm betting it's from Marvel Adventures, right?

[mittens]

Just say what thread you're posting it in, no need to move the whole thread.

Also, I'm betting it's from Marvel Adventures, right?
Yeah, good point. Will upload to mediafire in a sec and post links...somewhere.

It's a one-shot called Internet Super Heroes Meet The Internet Villains.
It's made by some anti-bullying charity that Marvel gave rights to use all of their characters. I don't think it was publicly released.

If you can get past the mind numbing levels of smug radiating from the self-insert director of the charity, then it's a hilarious read.

Batman: I, Joker
After reading the premise, I didn't have very high hopes for this one. Got just what I expected.
Terrible, cliche plot. Clunky, uninteresting writing. Mediocre art.
This is probably the worst Batman story I have ever read (and Batman is my favourite character).

Batman & Dracula: Red Rain
Unlike I, Joker I thought this one had potential to be a bit of fun, at the very least.
I was just wrong.
90s as fuck.

Dethklok Vs. The Goon
Were the author's names not printed on the cover, I could have mistaken this for shitty fan-fic.
Also, it looks like the artist spent all his time drawing The Goon pages and a 3 year old added in Dethklok, as an after thought.
Seriously though, a 30 page one-shot?

Green Arrow: Year One
Only ever read Green Arrow in Justice League. He was always one of my favourites though, so figured I'd start reading some of his books.
This was just a great story and Ollie is quickly becoming one of my favourite heroes.
The art was a bit hit and miss, though.

Pretty sure I read this at some point and thought it was fucking terrible.

It's the one set in the future, where some guy is posing as Batman and has convinced everyone in Gotham that he is a god.
He then "resurrects" Batman's villains and hunts them down to prove his claims.

Bought Batman: Year One today.

Absolutely amazing, and you can definitely see the influence it had on Batman Begins.

Batman & Dracula: Red Rain

I saw the TPB of that and the two stories after it in Borders. Might still go have a look and see if it is there. Because, even if it is shit, it's still something interesting to have.

[mittens]

A lot of people I've spoken to enjoyed it, so I may be in the minority on that one.

Buffy Series 8 isn't bad.

Kind of disjointed in parts, given the freedom (whatever they can draw can happen) but otherwise it's a really cool continuation of the story.

Series 8 of Buffy is feeling pretty damned average after 20 issues.

The writing has been watered down due to the freedom of the newer medium, and at times it really feels like they're doing shit just coz they can; spoiler ->Mecha-Dawn, for example

Totally over all the time travel shit, too.

[Sir Faggot Dibs]

I have a question about comic book text: What's the deal with the bolded words? It seems to be done randomly in most comics.

[twofivefour]

IT'S MEANT TO EMULATE THE EMPHASIS OF SPOKEN WORDS WHILE REMAINING ALL-CAPS.

IT'S MEANT TO EMULATE THE EMPHASIS OF SPOKEN WORDS WHILE REMAINING ALL-CAPS.

[Tremendous Boob]

It's often done quite arbitrarily. Have you ever read a MAD Magazine? Christ!

ftr I'm not necessarily calling MAD a comic book, I don't know how you comicbeards classify these things.

[mittens]

It has the word magazine right there in the title.

All Star Batman & Robin is the worst offender of random bolding I can think of, off the top of my head. Made me read the whole thing in Shatner's voice.

They're both from PCPP.

So, I'm halfway through Astro City: Life in the Big City.

Can't say I understand what all the acclaim for this is based on. I was so pumped to read it, after reading the introduction, too. The intro made it sound like everything a post-EXTREME 90s comic should be. But so far, it's pretty fucking boring. I'm seriously having trouble keeping motivated to read the whole thing. At the moment, I'm reading a chapter, then smashing down a few drinks, then reading the next chapter. I can't bring myself to read two chapters in a row.

[twofivefour]

On the way down to hang with Quatters & Aran, I stopped in at a decent comics shop. Ended up buying The Great Outdoor Fight. Very pleased with this purchase.

[Gobias Industries]

Excellent comic.

[mittens]

Never heard of it. Will have to download.

Reading through TransMet, very Warren Ellis (Very good, but very Warren Ellis)

[mittens]

Finally worked up the motivation to finish off Astro City this evening. The last chapter was okay. But other than that, my previous views still stand.

I understand what Busiek was trying to do with it, and I appreciate the intent, but the execution was so dull.

Last issue of Scott Pilgrim was pretty lame. Interested to see the movie, though. I really don't see how they're going to adapt most of this crap.

mittens, do you buy all your comics or is there a website where you download them? I've started reading Fables, buying the first three volumes, and you're right - it is fantastic.

Just got my hands on From Hell, Fables and the latest Alien v Predator series Three World War which continues the story of Machiko from AvP: Prey (and, infuriatingly, hasn't finished yet).

Four chapters into From Hell, and it's already great. The fact they've kept it so true to history is making it really interesting to read.

[mittens]

Yes to 100 Bullets. I don't really buy any more, just download. I'll give you some links thursday (about to go to the airport). But I will quickly say that it's a lot like downloading music. Comic + mediafire in Google usually works well (google blogsearch also works good).

I manage to find a lot of my stuff in /rs/.

[Jeremy's Dick]

/rs/ isn't 4chan, is it?

[TAT]

Fuck 4chan

[Dancel Pow]

Got stuck into Scott Pilgrim after seeing the movie. Really enjoying it, mostly because it seems a lot less ridiculous when it isn't live action. Art style's a bit weaboo, but still sorta endearing.

Which program do you use to view your comics?

[mittens]

Yeah, /rs/ on 4chan will get you most of the big name titles. I haven't been on 4chan in quite some time, but they used to do request threads on /co/ once every couple days where you'd ask for something and some dude would go find it for you. Both 7chan's and 99chan's /co/ have stickies with a shitload of links. The bros at 420chan's /co/ will usually be happy to help you find something (other boards will ban you for asking).

avaxhome.ws has heaps of stuff (including comics)

Demonoid actually has quite a good selection.

warezbb also has quite a few.

I haven't downloaded any comics in a while and just went through my bookmarks, only to find most of the sites I used to use have been shut down. Here's the ones that survived:

I was curious to know why there was so much hype for the Thor movie, so I grabbed a few one-shots leading into the current series.

Funny you should say that, just downloaded the first 10 issues off a torrent (In The Beginning 1-6, Kitchen Irish 1-4).

Like the darker tone, but I'm not so much a fan of the digital colouring.


Also downloaded Moebius' "The Long Tomorrow". Good god that's some busy pen work

Man I love Moebius.

[Dastardly]

So, read up to the current issue of Invincible. Good series, and I'm glad it's been pulled back (a little) from wanton character deaths. Although I suppose it's something the series returns to, so hey.

So, yeah, recommending it. Good modern take on the 'teen superhero' thing (in a more violent vein than Ultimate Spider-Man)

Any know if The Fall of Cthulhu is any good? Need a Lovecraftian comic fix and I've already read H.P.Lovecraft's Haunt of Horror and The Strange Adventures of H.P.Lovecraft.

Reading Fables, atm. Just read the Animal Farm arc. Vertigo put out some amazing shit

[Readman]

What's this Fables thing?

[mittens]

It's a series where all the characters from classic fairytales live in an alternate dimension type thing. But that world gets invaded by a bunch of bad guys. so they join the human world and live amongst them in secret.

[TAT]

Basically Sandman and Fables are the two most incredible series I've ever read.

[TAT]

I'LL SAY THE SAME THING IN ANOTHER 4 ARCS?

[Readman]

The Sandman is pretty awesome, though.

I'll look into Fables.

[TAT]

Well, yeah, but it's like proclaiming a television show as one of the best of all time after 2 episodes, even if those 2 episodes are stellar.
Fawlty Towers is still considered the pinnacle of British comedy and has a grand total of 12 episodes.

What's your point?

[eintein]

Would you call it the pinnacle of British comedy after watching only two episodes?

[TAT]

Right now, Starman.

It was mentioned in a random 411 column so I decided to check it out.
Not disappointed so far.

Basically a reluctant hero story with great character development and a mystical twist not unlike Sandman

So I saw a bunch of DC rags in Borders with some pretty bangin covers. One for Batman, one for Superman, Wonderwoman, etc. so I pick up the Batman one. Batman wasn't even in the comic until 2/3rds of the way through and only for like 2 pages. Plus he was wearing some retarded rocketeer/ironman hybrid suit. In conclusion, comic books still fucken suck.

[TAT]

Got into the Green Lantern recently, which is kind of cool because the recent mega event, Darkest Night, revolves around an all-out war between 8 different power ring factions.

If you're interested, the most recent sequence starts with Green Lantern: Rebirth, continues with the Sinestro Corps War (and the Green Lantern & Green Lantern Corps series') leading into Darkest Night, which totals 80 (!) separate issues.
