Comic Books
A place to discuss comic books of all types, from old to new, Big 2 to indie, and everything in between.
Floppies, graphic novels, compilations, omnibusses (omnibusi?) are all fair game.
There is only one rule:*
Comic Books is a no judgement zone.
You can talk all you want about how Rob Liefeld is trash, Bob Kane is an asshole, or Frank Miller and Dave Sim’s politics have made them toxic, that’s all good.
If, however, another user is LEGITIMATELY a fan of something you don’t like, that does NOT make them a lesser person. Attack the art for being bad, not the person for being a fan of bad art.
* I lied. There are TWO rules... No piracy. Cover shots? That's good. Interior pages, in moderation? Sure. Full books? Links to pirate sites? That's how we get things shut down. :(
I'm not saying it's been a problem, because it hasn't been.

Good release last week that I didn't notice until I hit the shop on Saturday:
Legend of Luther Arkwright Hardcover:
https://www.darkhorse.com/Books/3011-203/The-Legend-of-Luther-Arkwright-HC
So a little history lesson... The Adventures of Luther Arkwright is considered by some to be the very first British graphic novel, done by writer/artist Bryan Talbot.
It was first serialized in the US by indie Publisher Valkyrie Press and ran 9 issues.
Wiki has a good summary here:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Adventures_of_Luther_Arkwright
tl;dr - Alternate universe England, psychic soldiers, all black and white art.
About decade later, Dark Horse picked up the rights, reprinted it, and published a sequel called "Heart of Empire".

So when I saw Legend on the shelf, I got interested... is this reprinting all the old stuff in a fancy hardcover?
NOPE. It's an ENTIRELY NEW Arkwright story!
That does look pretty cool. I didn't see it at my shop unfortunately, I'll have to look into the back issues too!
