Comic Books/Graphic Novels

Image makes my favorite stuff. Have you red "Wytches"? Saga is great, Wicked and Divine is good too. Revival is also fun.
I have the 3 1st Wicked, i remember it was pretty cool, we had no big book store where i lived as a kid and the releases were so irregular i had to stop.

Not surprised this is a thread on here but kind of surprised I didn't think to search for it.
Anyone read Image comics? I particularly love Stray Bullets, The Humans, and Saga to name a few!
When I was going through my divorce 5-6 years ago I spent a lot of time at the comic book store in town buried in horror/sci fi trying to ignore the inevitable. The above titles really helped out and I heard Saga is starting back up again.
I also read up to #178 in TWD…not sure if anyone is interested in that book but the comics were so much better than the show.
The Humans is sweet. I actually went to a BBQ at Tom Neely's house while I was in LA a few years ago before I knew about his work. Awesome dude. He bought one of my paintings last month from a gallery and it made me feel incredibly honored!
I just read the first four Red Room issues and loved them. Ed Piskor is twisted and I'm a huge sucker for anything cyberpunk.
Wow that is awesome! I think I'll start getting back into comics now…I'll check out Red Room.

Heck yeah dude I'll check out Wytches…though it does sound familiar. Wicked and Divine had the coolest cover art. I have the first several issues in a comic box tucked away in my studio. Thanks for reminding me.

If you’re digging Alan Moore you really need to read swamp thing.

@Oaktavia Wytches was a Scott Snyder basically passion project, dying for him to put out more

Is anyone here into comic books? I've been reading the classics lately: Watchmen, Frank Miller's The Dark Knight Returns and so on. I just ordered the first volume of a collection of Eastman's and Laird's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
Edit:
Alright! Now since @goosehd guided me here, my question seems off. What a cool thread! -
Not at all, @RobeOfTheMagi . I read a lot of graphic novels, both classics and newer stuff.
Current favorites are Monstress and Saga. The Night Eaters was also great—same creators as Monstress, and the story is already complete if you don’t want to wait for more to come out.
-
Way to revive a dead thread @RobeOfTheMagi some classics you mentioned there!!
@sabergirl Haven’t read Monstress but loved escaping with Saga 10 years or so ago.
Definitely a fan of a good amount of marvel and dc runs but found myself drawn to some of the smaller labels that had a lot easier of an entry point like Saga. Other favorites that come to mind that fit this description; Chew, Lock & Key, and anything Robert Kirkman - specifically Invincible

Fun fact:
I've ordered my copy of Watchmen from a platform that sells used books. It was quite inexpensive since it was supposed to have minor flaws. When I received it, I discovered a random sticker inside the book, presumably covering some daub. After removing the sticker I found the signature of Dave Gibbons beneath it :).

Right? Who would have thought a signed book was cheaper than a regular one. Only the remains of the sicker is a bit annoying.
