      mainstream sickness that started me on my path to great story telling & people with issues:

      i also loved the HBO Spawn cartoon series from years back.  i have some more obscure stuff like grendel & other comics that were just kind of twisted, but the above are the ones that have stood the test of time for me.

      bonus material

      if i had a place to put them i would still buy comics 😠  & the character i love most is mr. natural

          yeah, some of those comics are older than some of our forum members  😉

          great stories are great stories regardless of format. wish i had more time to pursue all my twistedness  😠

            I agree MM, I don't buy much new stuff at all. Luckily I have a massive back catalogue of awesomeness to keep me going.

            Side note - Me and Tommy are currently playing Arkham City…...BEST GAME EVER!!

                It's basically more of the same, but about 10 times bigger, and a lot prettier.

                  Got a system running, leaves me some time to write a proper post.
                  This being an international forum, I will not care (also because I do not necessarily know) whether the comic, BD or manga has yet been translated in English, French, German, Japanese, Swahili or any other language… sorry!

                  Belgian/French style: (skipping the classics like Tintin, Largo Winch, Schuitten etc.)

                  • Magasin Général: Québec, Canada in the 1920s, small village, very nice drawings and well made scenario.
                  • Bunker: Imaginary Sovietic kind of country in the Himalaya with old gods. Scary story.
                  • Sanctuaires: Same scary idea as in bunker, with an old god trapped for centuries and finally released.
                  • De cape et de crocs: imaginary world, theatrically described, inspired by Cyrano de Bergerac.
                  • All things from Marc-Antoine Matthieu, just pure nonsense, black and white, but damn it is good.
                  • Sentinelles: WWI at its best/worst, this one gives back to war what belongs to war: horror, fear, guts etc. Well made.

                  American:

                  • Alan Moore: V for vendetta, From Hell etc.
                  • The walking dead.
                  • Maus, Art Spiegelman… no need to introduce
                  • Will Eisner, disney drawings because he worked there, but some of his stuff his really good.

                  German:

                  • Gift, trial and decapitation of the last lady poisoner in Bremen in the 19th century. Really good!
                  • Haarmann, homosexual cannibal serial killer from Hanover in short in meat post WWI Germany. Give you the creeps!
                  • Die Sache mit Sorge, German spy in China and Japan for Stalin.

                  And of course: Japanese mangas:

                  • Nausicaa, Miyazaki Hayao (and all his animés from the famous studio Ghibli!!!!!).
                  • Taniguchi Jirô: Sommet des dieux and alll his stuff.

                  I forgot many I think but this post will still be there later on. Please give some advices for good stuff!  😃

                      Me and my mates were crazy waiting for the next comic to come into our local book store.

                      That Midtown Comics store in NYC is madness, those figureines are o for owesome.

                      [Image Missing]

                      This is a cool Iron Man, my mate had the cast metal one which was way more expensive

                      With the lights on

                      This car took me a few months to build up, it had about 1500 pieces, it rolls along the ground alright. took me plenty of late nights to finish.

                      My X Wing fighter is broken up at the mo

                      Got some other lego Star Wars sets I havent done up yet.

                      Star Trek Enterprise, all the sounds and lights still go

                      [Image Missing]

                      Bumble Bee TransF car, its freckin hard to transform properly

                                    Chew is great fun. I like Invincible and Powers as well. Sam & Twitch, Locke & Key and Fell are all good. Might be going to San Diego ComicCon this year as well.

                                            I went 3 years ago on a work trip, it was excellent. Everything from Suicide Girls from old dudes dressed as Power Girl.

                                            There are some things you want to re-live, and some you just can't un-see, no matter how much alcohol you drink…
