Comic Books/Graphic Novels

Where's the cleavage? I expect boobs, dammit!:)
Unfortunate but true :(. Male dominated industry, sigh…
You guys didn't hang out in High School did you?
-
I must admit that the idea intrigued me, but DC are shitting on so much stuff at the moment. They're hiring the writers that nearly killed Marvel 15 years ago.
-
I just read a load of the Fables graphic novels while on holiday, really enjoyed those stories.
-
I tried to cheer myself up about the shitty state of my beloved DC by re-reading all the classics, now I am finished I feel all sad and empty when I look at what they're doing now
-
Anyone check out the new Before Watchmen yet? I want to check it out even though the whole series is kinda a sacrilege. I was curious what you guys thought, though.
I keep wanting to. I know it's a really cynical attempt to generate more cash, as a friend of mine said "Watchmen is perfect, it contains its own backstory".
On the other hand, I am slightly curious… £3.00 per comic is too much though, I may wait until it's all collected.
Or it gets cheap in digital form. I feel the holding back of the last two story arcs as a really, really cynical move though.

batman long halloween
akira (movie and books)
hate
bone
early punisher stuff
was really into deadpool at the start of the series but when the artist changed and the story took a shit i lost interest
sincity obviously
also really dug the oni double features when they first came out
batman year one was amazing too
been looking to buy the love and rockets collections and dive into that world -
If anyone has not read Kingdom Come, by Mark Waid and Alex Ross, stop what you are doing and go buy it, right now.
-
Never been man, I'm in the UK so it's a fair trek
But if it sells comics, and is inhabited by individuals who believe that a man can fly, I would most certainly love it
-
Thanks Nate, I do love a good geek out
Who's everyone's favourite writers?
For me, I roll with Alan Moore, Grant Morrison, Warren Ellis, and Mark Millar (Moore is my number 1).
Artists, I love Alex Ross, and for some reason I absolutely love the style of Frank Quitely.
-
Alan Moore, Frank Miller, Garth Ennis, Mike Mignola, John Layman
-
Shit, I forgot about Frank
Dark Knight Returns is one of the greatest books ever -
Moore, Miller, Ennis, Ellis, Gaiman, Zulli, Bendis, Mack, Millar, Steranko, Loeb, Furman, Straczynski, Claremont, Windsor-Smith. To name a few
Edit… Can't believe I forgot Romita and Waid, currently reading Irredeemable and Incorruptible. Oh and Brubaker, his run on Daredevil
-
Newest Daredevil is fantastic

Any of my fellow geeks read much of DC's "The New 52"? I thought it was such an awful idea that I've avoided it like the plague…..but I'm rapidly running out of comic books to read.
