just getting back into comics recently after many years, read Watchmen, Batman Year One and Kingdom Come in the last month. Looking for any recommendations or even just talk about your favourite comic/runs and sell me or others on it
>>150598482I'm working through a bunch of old superhero comics because I've reached a point where I'm questioning if I even like the genre or just comics that are good despite the genre. Most of my favorites fall on the outskirts of the genre (Watchmen, TDKR, Mage, Foolkiller, etc).I recently reread The Winter Men and Marshal Law, which fall under that "post-superhero" subgenre, and liked them well enough. I also read Peter Milligan's Enigma and didn't like it as much.
>>150598482Good choices OP, I have read the same ones in the last couple months as dc compact comics and I also read new frontier and all star superman in dc compact. Last few weeks I bought Batman year one off Amazon then I bought these and I highly recommend these after Batman year one. Read the man who laughs the read long Halloween the read dark victory. And at some point read dark knight returns by frank miller. It’s an elseworlds story though doesn’t take place in the 1986-2011 Batman chronology we’re reading. Enjoy!
I've been getting into all-ages hidden gems this year and past but I'm looking to expand to more mature titles
>>150598482The Punisher MAX and Fury MAX: My War Gone By are not only some of the best grounded comics from the Big Two, they've got tremendous impact and are amazing looks at geopolitics and the military industrial complex.
The Crow. The Goon. Eightball. Fell.
>>150598482Read Superman Red Son. The only good take on dictator Superman I've seen personally. He is still Superman in every sense of the word, he is doing what he thinks is right and makes big mistakes but he is never willing to cross his deepest moral lines or be a full tyrant... but perhaps he has already become one without realizing...Only 3 issues too! (though very long ones but still)Also where'd you get that Year One scan? it's amzing
>>150598482I recommend I Hate Fairyland, the art is awesome, and it's quite funny.

My go to webcomicsOut-Of-Placers Unsounded Awful Hospital
>>150601266i think Calvin and Hobbes was the first comic i ever truly loved, classic
>>150600934 I did hear about this one, I like the concept a lot if i see it I'll have to pick it up. Also the pic is just off google images sadly don't have a scan to help you with.
>>150601021Too bad Skottie can't tell a compelling story with that comic.
>>150598482ReccsEC Segar PopeyeKamandi OG Savage Sword of ConanDonald Duck/Uncle Scrooge by Carl BarksDen, Neverwhere and MuvovumMaster of Kung Fu by Doug Moench and various artists Batman Faces
>>150601390Yeah, Skottie's run is carried hard by his artwork and Jean-Francois Beaulieu's colors. (And to be fair there are emotional moments in that original run that I think are emotionally effective)
Challengers of the Unknown by Loeb and Sale. Severely underrated and overshadowed by their later work, but possibly the best of them all.
>>150598482Triangle Era Superman was what I grew up reading. Rereading them again now has been a lot of fun.
>>150601657Any place to read this online yet?
Sunny
>>150598482Read>Bone by Jeff Smith>Usagi Yojimbo by Stan Sakai>The Sculptor by Scott McCloud>Asterios Polyp by David Mazzucchelli>Concrete by Paul Chadwick>Kabuki & whatever Daredevil stuff David Mack did (Parts of the Hole and Echo Quest)These'll keep you busy for a while
>>150598482If you don't mind it being half prose, Thieves & Kings
>>150601867>>Bone by Jeff Smith>>Usagi Yojimbo by Stan SakaiI haven't read the other stuff but would strongly second these.
>>150601867David Mack Daredevil is trash!
>>150602013You're just a pleb
>>150602046Nah, you have shit taste. The stories are crap and the art looks traced.
>>150602365What are some good comics

>>150600402what do you think about the fury (2001) ?
>>150604071Cool
>>150598482I want more non-cape sci-fi like The Adventures of Luther Arkwright and American Flagg.
>>150607944Valerian and Laureline
None
>>150605795Fury and Fury Peacemaker are both really really good but if you don't care for Fury 2001 somehow I still really recommend reading the rest of the Ennis MAX stuff. If you like that stuff, read his Marvel Knights Punisher run too. His Vertigo Unknown Soldier mini was also really really good and served as sort of a dry run for stuff he'd revisit in My War Gone By
>>150607944I've heard nothing but good things about Rogue Trooper, Judge Dredd, Strontium Dog, Lone Sloane, and The Incal. If you want something less European and more pulpy there's always Dreadstar.
>>150610207>Dreadstar.really have been meaning to pick that up
>>150608677I keep forgetting about it.For some reason, it never really attracted my attention, but I'll read a few albums.>>150610207I've read Lone Sloane and The Incal. More visual spectacle than anything.I'm currently reading Judge Dredd and it's been okay so far. Haven't hit the 80s yet.Dreadstar is definitely on my list.
>>150610077this
Dreadstar is cool.
>>150614751I hope so, yeah.
>>150614751>>150615863It's Jim Starlin on a cosmic title.
>>150616086Infinity Gauntlet is trash.

>>150610077Not even your favourite?
>>150598482Any Captain Marvel (SHAZAM!) Comics/Recommendations?
>>150617596It's so good and it's especially good if you're feeling a little down.
>>150620007The alex ross onethe geoff johns one from 2012 (it was beloved back then, but now is hated due to: everybody is captain marvel)thunderworld by grant morrisondarkseid war tie-in issues.second geoff johns run was ok
>>150620007Jeff Smith did a pretty good series
>>150598482Project Nortubel is a very good comic
>>150604071Oh, thank you
>>150620899>>150620920Cool, thanks Marvel family.
>>150598482Year One would be perfect if not for Catwoman.
Why are there two threads with the same OP image?
>>150598482
>>150620899>>150620920Marvelous.
>>150622944Someone needs to slap Kevin Smith
>>150598482If you want some essential capeshit, New Frontier is one of my favorites.>>150620899>the geoff johns one from 2012Seconding this. Reading it has become a Christmas tradition for me.>thunderworld by grant morrisonLiterally one of my favorite stand-alone issues of all time.>>150620007Steve Orlando did a one-shot for some DC event that was phenomenal. Really made good use of Geoff Johns' new "jerkass Billy"
>>150620007Captain Marvel have comics?
>>150624739Plenty, jeff smith, two geoff johns runs, several miniseries, one 90s ongoing, and several good tie-ins like the convergence one.
Any good recommendations for Adam Strange?
>>150625879I liked him in 52, and maybe in that animated short, and then in that Hawkman maxiseries by Vendetti. or it was the previous miniseries with The Atom?
>>150601021Too edgy
>>150601021Not edgy enough
>>150601021Just right amount of edge
Uhh, somebody's been sleeping in my bed.
>>150627465That's nice...
>>150627465I'm so lonely
>>150627465Okay father bear.
Busiek Avengers is my favorite Avengers
I HIGHLY recommend JLA: Year One. It was the best post-Crisis on Infinite Earths depiction of how that version of the Justice League (Black Canary, Hal Jordan, Barry Allen, Aquaman, and Martian Manhunter) formed as a team and grew to trust one another. I have a bias because that was the series I grew up with and familiarized as the founding JLA, but I wish this had been adapted into the movies instead. Or at least they should've made this an animated movie like they did with Batman: Year One and other stories. Also read Legends of the Dark Knight. It's an anthology of self-contained (for the most part though there are a few issues that tie to the greater Batman continuity like the Knightquest ones with Sondra and her brother). They're usually about the early years of Batman's career and explore villains and concepts that rarely get touched in the Batman or Detective Comics titles.
>>150628965>I HIGHLY recommend JLA: Year One.It's turdtastic.
>>150629094Are you one of those Trinity fans? Like I said, this was my exposure to what the Justice League was like as a kid because I read those issues when it originally printed in the late 90's. Not everything has to have Superman, Batman, or Wonder Woman. It's why I love the Arrowverse. Their trinity was Green Arrow, Flash, and Supergirl; and holy shit it worked. Also I recommend Batman: Son of the Demon. If you want the REAL son of Batman and Talia and how they actually hooked up, read this story. I miss the days when Talia was one of Batman's true love interests and the whole larger-than-life scope involving Ra's.
>>150629182I don't care about the DC universe and I don't like mediocre comics.
