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.

Some good stuff for me this week

Toxic Avenger #3 - Actually been digging this series, I bought the first one just to read the "Message from Uncle Lloyd" but it ended up being (while updated and different) pretty faithful to the spirit of the OG.

In Bloom #1 - Art looks good, book looks creepy, will prob give it a shot.

Minor Arcana #4 - Unfortunately due to a damaged shipment I've had to wait for #3, hopefully I can get both this week.

From The World Of Minor Threats The Brood #1 - Ayyy more Minor Threats? Hell yeah! I'm in! The last one Barfly (still great, #4 out next week) wasn't written by Patton Oswalt (the hilarious comedian/actor) and Jordan Blum but this one is and I'm excited. If you've been sleeping on Minor Threats, check out all of them. (Minor Threats, The Alternates, MT: Fastest Way Down, Barfly, and now The Brood)

Batman Dark Patterns #1 - Maybe, I've been buying too many comics and need to cut back a bit.

Space Ghost #8 - Space Ghoooost.

Creepshow 2024 Holiday Special - Never missed a Creepshow and I'm not starting now.

Shiver SuspenStories #1 - Gotta give it a shot!

That's it for me, what are you pulling?

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".

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/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!

Ultimate Universe: One Year In was surprisingly funny and heartwarming.
