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.

I think it would be interesting to do weekly what are you reading posts to generate some discussion around what people are currently enjoying or not enjoying

I finished Nocterra book 1 in no time, so now I am off to Batman the long Halloween. On the side I am continuously reading Uncanny Xmen from Claremont and the 2022 run of Doctor Strange.

I am chronically behind on reading. Mostly I am reading Nyx, everything Red Sonja, and Conan. And as always I am reading Elfquest… some day I will finish the final quest.

I have never heard of Elfquest, looks interesting

They are amazing books. I have been reading them for probably close to 40 years. It is a series that I will pick up and start reading from the beginning quite often.
