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.

Whooo big week, for me and the list in general. Let's see:

Blue Book 1947 #2 - Aliens, WWII, #1 was pretty good.

Batman Dylan Dog #1 - Don't know what it's about but I'll at least flip through it.

Westley Dodds Sandman #6 - The end of the line. Been pretty good for a superhero book.

Fishflies #5 - Fishflies has been great, guy shoots a kid, turns into a giant mayfly creature, on the run with a different kid escaping her abusive dad. Slow going, quarterly I think.

Napalm Lullaby #1 - "A child with unimaginable power is raised to believe he is God by a cult of zealots utterly confident in the moral authority of their religion. The Magnificent Leader has imposed his will on humanity and created the ultimate theocracy. Join them, or be cast out to suffer with the masses." Rick Remender of The Sacrificers, def giving this a shot even though I can't get into his "Low."

One Hand #2 - Ram V, digging the split thing with The Six Fingers.

Petrol Head #5 - Cheeky robots drive fast.

I Hate Fairyland #12 - Should I be paying attention to this one? I guess I'll browse through it and see.

What're you reading?
