ITT: Comics no one talks about
>>152311383This seems interesting.
>>152311383Alright, you have my attention. It is any good?
>>152311383Glister is really cute.
>>152311413>>152311530I don't know, I think this comic has never been storytimed ever.
>>152311535We literally storytimed it two years ago
>>152312320She isn't talked about beyond that storytime.
>>152311383What is this? Art style is making me think a superhero girl with the tone of I Hate Fairyland?
>>152312293Wrong, the first issue was, then never again.
>>152312320and the other 3 times after that. i sswear there was one around summer last year.
>>152312808I think you're thinking of Princess at Midnight
>>152312827you can think anything you want about what im thinking. i know ive seen that glisten posted many times.
>>152311383I think this has only ever been mentioned on this board a handful of times and only in passing.
>>152311383I remember enjoying a few issues. Kind of surprised it didn't continue.I guess it was off brand I Hate Fairyland
>>152312517>>152312965I mean OP's pic has Jason Young's name on it, so yeah, that assumption makes sense to anyone that has only vaguely seen a cover of this series, like me.
>>152313029Is he not the artist / writer for the series? Was that just a variant cover?
>>152311383It looks terrible.>>152311424No one really brings up Tomine.>>152312930I didn't like it. It was way too short for what it was.
>>152313070I am not sure, I do remember reading like 2-3 issues sometime after IHF ended (probably ~2019), and the interior art was the same as in the OP, all I remember was that Gamma Rae (probably got her name wrong) is part of a supervillain family but she wants to be a superhero, I think that in the second issue she gets angry at her family because one of their henchmen she was close to died but then its revealed he has backups and that the comic's main gimmick is that she is pretty violent (get it?)
>>152311383>Rokkin is a comic book fantasy mini series created by Andy Hartnell and Nick Bradshaw and published by Wildstorm. The series details the rise of an ordinary man named Arness, bestowed with godlike powers in his search for revenge against the tyrannical Lord Vulmax, whose minions destroyed his village and slew his wife. I remember liking this comic when I read it a long time and being disappointed in the unresolved ending like it was expected to get a sequel.
>>152312320I saw it last year too.
Jax Epoch is my champion of choice for this threadLast time she was mentioned here was nearly a decade ago
>>152312798The second issue did have a storytime, but literally no one responded.#1:https://desuarchive.org/co/thread/109485828/#2:https://desuarchive.org/co/thread/110286763/Also here is the only piece of Pretty Violent fanart that exists in the Internet.
I've never once seen anyone bring this up
>>152314468Oh hey, I read this (Internet Archive)I thought about storytiming but I didn't have any access to quality scans so I opted not toJax was actually in a short story Dave and Raina did for an anthology back when they were still married>>152312848>>152314349I was literally guy who storytimed Glister, I only did it three times in 2024. First time for the first two stories, second time for the rest, and third time all at once when I finally got higher quality picshttps://desuarchive.org/_/search/subject/glister/
>>152314473awful
>>152311383Garbage Night is pretty damn great, wasn't expecting it to be so bleak, though a little on the fast paced side. Never seen anyone bring it up on here, not even once.
>>152314473>literally no one respondedFuck. I thought you were being hyperbolic but no, literally no one turned up. Was the comic bad or something?
>>152314562>Garbage day!
>>152314602Could just be a matter of bad luckIn my personal experience, storytiming anything unfamiliar on a Wednesday is a risk because of the competition on the catalog
I've seen absolutely NO ONE ever talk about Cyber-Kitties on here, let alone the rest of the internet.
>>152311383
>>152314602People didn't care
>>152311383>>152311530"I hate Fairyland" crossed with superheroics.The graphic violence (lungs, spleens, and spines ripped out) makes "Invincible" look like the Bobbsy Twins.But the art style makes it clear that it's all in fun.I liked it.
Haven't seen anyone talk much of The last American, pretty strong art from Mick McMahon who's more famous for Judge Dredd.>>152314846Looks interesting, is it like Omaha?
>>152314506Same guy that drew this BTW.
>>152316312That looks great.
>>152314489I thought about checking it out since I like the style a lot, is it any good?
>>152317179It's pretty good
>>152313070He was a writer alongside creator & series artist Derek Hunter. I wonder what they are up to nowadays.
Years ago I started a thread about Queen Bee, and it got deleted almost immediately. Why?
>>152317230Why would it get deleted ?
>>152317230>>152317878I don't know, but it looks like shit.
>>152317912I really enjoyed Blue Monday so I'll probably read this when I get the chance
>>152311383This makes me wonder, anyone know does good superheroine ryona comics? PV is just too gory for me, though some scenes where the MC is getting beaten is nice
>>152311383Lightfall and it's a pretty weird series.>Started as a cartoon pilot aired on nick>Author some how kept the rights to it>Continued the story as a comic, will even get it's 4th issue out this yearI am planning to story time it but outside the pilot when it original was made I hardly see anyone mention it
>>152314562>>152314846I will never read these.
>>152314468>a decade agodamn
>>152311413>>152311383Just a shitty copy of I hate Fairyland
>>152313070>>152313029>>152313070Uhh you mean Skottie Young.
>>152314489True crime meets sunday funnies
>>152320759Skottie Young had nothing to do with Pretty Violent aside from probably promoting it at one point while it was ongoing.
>>152316312Other than featuring furries, no quite. Cyber-Kitties is really fucking weird, I can say that much. It's purely an episodic comic series where they run into vampires, occultists, demons, random parodies of official characters, monsters, cannibals and going into cyberspace itself. It's also not really sure whether it wants to be a parody or taken seriously or not, but I feel that kind of adds to the batshit craziness of it all.Oh and one of the Cyber-Kitties is a psycho cyborg who has a massive hard on for killing people, just thought that's worth mentioning.
>>152311383first comic I ever bought. think it was in the 25 cent bin
>>152321703looks and sounds bad
>>152323174I mean, I never said it was GOOD, it's just really fucking weird. I find it to be fascinating though, mainly in the "so bad it's good" way. Surprised not more people have discussed it, it's really out there.
>>152311383I have some but can't talk about them.
>>152314506>>152316411Yes that comic sucks that girl dont have the charm of Gert
>>152311383But we don't read comics.
>>152311383>>152314473How old is she supposed to be?
>>152316312>>152324374These look badass. Are they good?
>>152311424>hmm art seens alright>look inside>"dude what if an asian guy had an interracial fetish"
>>152325680he married a white woman
>>152314489I too watched that new YouTube video.
After doing licensed comics for unspeakable franchise, Tony Fleecs got enamored with ferals, he did several graphic novels with cutesy animal protagonists in bloody situations. /co/ does not talk about them much.
How come regular comics very rarely develop fandoms behind them
>>152326560fandoms are like locust swarms , a couple of fans will just like something but not enough to display the typically fandom behavior. You need them to reach critical mass in a certain area to become a fandom
the spider king
>>152326556I know Stray Dogs was got a storytime before. Not sure about the sequel comic. Feral also deserves a storytime at least. I'm surprised it hasn't been covered here before. Feral is fine. It's a zombie story with cats, And is fairly by-the-numbers beyond that. I don't think it ever dips into being terrible, but it never goes beyond pretty good.
>>152324189/co/ are that abnoxiously degenerate. I get It, anon...
>>152326560Niche in a niche, marketing, etc. That and regular comics end, and usually in satisfying ways. You saw that recently with something like I Hate Fairyland, it ended well but people felt conflicted when it came back.
>>152311383This looks like I Hate Fairyland
>>152312930I always get this confused with Sonic Disruptors
>>152328551>Sonic DisruptorsI remember that being posted once. It was... okay.
>>152328192I can see that but with I Hate Fairyland there is a difference between "This comic already had a great ending and its returning without Skottie as the artist but he has improved as a writer and the plot is something new" and "This comic returned to the original status quo despite selling itself as a sequel in a manner that does not even work if you only like IHF as a comedy, so why care anymore?", I still remember back when a preview of the first issue of the revival was released and anons were cautiously optimistic.
>>152311383Mark Spears Monsters
>>152326560Distribution and accessibilityThere are actual people who think comics like Beneath the Trees were born yesterday or don't know Invincible was made in 2003The Walking Dead was a top seller before the show but it's popularity skyrocketed after said show became a successThere's also how as a nexus, /co/ fucking sucks at getting good comics exposureMore people (blatant lurkers and tourists) attended the IANS storytime than anything else in recent memoryAnd even regarding storytimes /co/ hasn't been a leader in setting trends nowIf a comic series does become popular online it'll likely be from some twitter mention or video essay rather than it being a cult favorite here
>>152326560People give LOCG's community flack and rightfully so, it's still a better place for a fandom to manifest for a currently releasing non-Marvel/DC book than /co/ is even though everything is still overshadowed by Marvel, DC, and some licenseshit
>>152330586That's mostly due to 4chan's downfall in general. /pol/ has been shitting on our rug for about a decade now, and insisting that keeps the woke numale SJW cringe cucks away... except it's driven a good chunk of the people who give a damn about comics away.
>>152326527It sure got me to buy a copy.
>>152331375>>152331332These are cult classicsThey're discussed, just not on /co/
>>152330405>check comic>literally a dozen variant covers>3d models with heavy filters on itHuh
Any of you guys storytime?What have you done and how did it go?
>>152331668I'm the guy who's been posting all those Year One comics this month - it was good, but I was surprised that certain threads didn't get that many replies.I'm considering doing it again next January... just with less of the, shall we say, "inessential" stories. I'm not sure anyone needs to read Metamorpho: Year One more than once.
>>152331760Also, you CANNOT storytime anything without a captcha these days. Maybe something a few pages long, but even a single issue is too much.
>>152331760Start each thread with the most popular ones and then follow it up with the lesser known ones. Gives people more of an incentive to give the thread a shot.
>>152331661Just read it. The art is not great, but the story actually is. It took me a few attempts to get through it.
>>152332009Honestly, some stuff gets forgotten for a reason. "Agressively mid" is the phrase du jour, I believe.
>>152331760What about that Image firsts label?
>>152331668I'm this guy >>152314503Did a couple of storytimes in 2024 and a lot in 2025 but I'm likely not gonna do as much this year.Also did a few single issues for then coming floppy series' a few years priorOff the top of my head I've storytimed Amelia Rules, Patty Cake, Thieves & Kings, Sunny, A Sea of Love, Jingle Belle, Rosalie Lightning, Hellaween, Leave it to Chance, Bandette, Clan Apis, Recess Warriors, SLG's Wonderland, Unico, Electric Girl, Glister, Anne of Green Gables, Princess at Midnight, Bea Wolf, The Land of Nod, Blue Monday, Peanut, The Mighty Skullboy Army, Opposite Forces, Psycho Killers (The John Wayne Gacy issue), etcI think I'm forgetting a few thoughBasically if someone thanks people for bumping at the end, that's probably meAs for traction?More hits than misses
>>152330586>IANS storytime?
>>152333213oh nvm it's I'm not Starfire
>>152333230even the guy who was storytiming it got pissedwouldn't be surprised if that contributed to him quitting
>>152333141>Jingle Belleoh thanks anon, that was a fun read
>>152331668I did a Breaking Bad Comics storytime when that show turned 15, a Hellicious storytime shortly after the show was announced and one for Fluff the World as other storytimes of that comic were in subpar image quality.They might last one or two days and are , I would recommend putting some commentary in a page if there is something you think is interesting to comment on.
>>152325659old enough
>>152325659Too old.
>>152331622Where?
>>152333653Boomer forums
>>152314473Hardly the "only".Googling "Gamma Rae" turned up an entire new comic.>http://pirateclub.com/gamma-rae-quest-for-the-living-skeleton-2011/
>>152334250>http://pirateclub.com/gamma-rae-quest-for-the-living-skeleton-2011/Anon he was talking about fan art
>>152333141Oh yeah, I also did Ida Red, Red's Planet, Lenore: The Time War, Magic Pickle, Reed Gunther, Cici's Journal, Nat Enough, The Creepy Case Files of Margo Maloo, The 3 Geeks, and Civilian JusticeAlso one or two Dear Dumb Diary storytimes though I wasn't the only one who storytimed that series that year
>>152334250How did his art regress so much in 8 years?
>>152314473Underrated belly
>>152331760>>152333141>>152333323Thank you for your service
>>152333141Also Amy Unbounded and Sardine in Outer SpaceI think that's all of it from 2024 to 2026
>>152333367Based. This and Bubblegum Jane need more love.
>>152311413Trust me, it ain't
>>152311383It's like one of my Chinese doujins. I liked it better than Lovesick, and the blood and gore ain't all that bad. There's something about watching someone become a worse person over time. Wish it'd go on forever, or I wish I could read it for the first time again.
>>152330405Those are some pretty great saggers.
>>152331332Seen this posted before and talked about.
>>152334275Happy, now?
>>152339036I couldn't read this one because it hit too close to home, but the art was lovely and you can tell the writing is doing it justice.
just discovered this recently. It's not the most unique thing but I enjoyed regardless
Everyone always talks about James Robinson's run
>>152324374Holy shit, didn't realize that was a full series. Also fucking hell why is the captcha getting worse?
>>152343983Using French comics is cheating
>>152343983I remember somebody used to post scanlations of the really early albums
>>152345858Again, it's a cult favoriteAbout on par with MadmanFar from entry level but also not exactly obscure to people who got into comics proper
I'd ask if anyone is reading the new Twilight Zone comic, but IDW, so...
>>152345914IDW have wasted money on so many licenses, they're the /co/ equivalent of Telltale Games
>>152345947Yeah, but IDW Dark has been surprisingly neat so far.
>>152333141Damn, I didn't realize a lot of those were the same person. You're an absolute MVP of this board
>>152336947Just remembered one moreCompass
>>152346846I appreciated that one, sad that it was just one
I thought there'd be more talk about I Hate Fairyland but I haven't seen the newer comics storytime'd. I was tempted to do it for the latest one since it was pretty cute but I didn't know if anyone else was gonna
>>152346914People hate that comic now.
>>152346914Last Storytime was over the Popeye crossover when he became public domain and it was more of a "might as well" thing.https://desuarchive.org/co/thread/151023175Seems the current issues are a "Gert her own Frankenstein's monsters and faces the consequences" story arc.>>152346934Worse, people don't care anymore.
>>152333141>Thieves & KingsThanks for this. It's been a blast to read!
>>152311383Age of Reptiles: Ancient Egyptians. Which is really something considering how Tribal Warfare and The Hunt have been storytimed multiple times and been well received each time.
>>152314602The art is Dobson tier, the story is predictable, even the dialogue is lame
>>152333141Thanks, man. I quite enjoyed those storytimes and seeing stuff I wouldn't have known about.
>>152331668I've done it a few times; usually not entire runs of a comic but I'll go through and pick a bunch of stuff to fit a theme.Like one year, I did a bunch of spooky Usagi Yojimbo stories for Halloween and capped it off with Teru Teru Bozu. I've done that with Archie as well where I found a stories with panels that were turned into memes and posted them in their original context with similar stories.
>>152346949>Worse, people don't care anymore.Except that one guy who finds every excuse to complain about the plot twist
>>152333141>>152334523You storytimed all the stuff I avoided reading (I dislike comics for the cartoon-watching crowd), but I did try to bump your threads if I saw them.
>>152340073I hate that every time I see CHAZ I can only think of that communist zone in Washington DC in 2020 that was an absolute failure.
>>152333253>>152336033>>152345978>>152346861>>152346953>>152347548You're welcome!I always love seeing fan art be done in storytime threads>>152349085To each their own but I appreciate it all regardless, thanks for bumping
>>152331332>>152331375I've posted about these and seen others post about them.>>152331364I've seen others bring it up constantly.
>>152346846Funny thing this was storytimed recently. Had a decent thread going.https://desuarchive.org/co/thread/152188656/#152188656
>>152342372How is it?I've been filtered by Robinson's run twice.
>>152314562Another story about sad midwest furries? Sure I'll read it.
>>152314562And it's not on any of the usual comic sites, welp.
>>152311383You could post like 98% of anything that isn't Marvel or DC, or overhyped mainstream slop like Invincible. Despite being a bunch of sad losers, /co/'s tastes are indistinguishable from the average moviegoing normalfag.
I just started reading thisI love barbarian conan shit I forgot dc had their own
>>152350772ACKCHUALLY Warlord owes as much to Pellucidar and John CarterBut yeah, that shit rocks
>>152351211I havent actually read/watched much barbarian/sword and sorcery stuff yet. But I loved He-man because I grew up with the 200x cartoon and hand me down toys, but I missed out on the massive trend it and Conan set back in the 80s. I'm also reading Warlord partly because got back into comics in general recently when I started rewatching Bruce Timm verse stuff too. I found put Bruce Timm started on the Heman minicomics too. So it all kind of worked out. I'll have to check out stuff like John Carter too.
>>152314605“Huh…..? NO!” (BLAM)
>>152350094Anon, that's what he was sayingHe was listing books he storytimed
>>152314473>little girl for a protagonist>nobody on /co/ caresNever ever thought I would see this.
>>152331375gorgeous art
>>152350772Check out Druid!
>>152351337Speaking of John Carter.(cool digits btw)
>>152351639Good for that anon!
>>152351822Not that it stops /co/, but she is ugly.
>>152314846"Classic" print furry comics are very very very very very boring.
>>152353928I blame the comic's art style
