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.

Indie comics tell some of the best stories by the best creative teams in comics, and recent years have truly been a golden age for the genre. Unlike the big two publishers, Marvel and DC, which mainly publish stories about superheroes, indie comics from publishers like Image Comics or BOOM! Studios cross every genre imaginable, from high fantasy to the darkest horror.

Most indie comics are owned by their creators, meaning that the comic book industry’s best creators have a chance to tell the stories they truly want to share, as opposed to being constrained by the limits of a more controlling publisher. The result is unrivaled creativity and some of the most innovative and compelling stories available in comic books today. With this high level of quality, there has never been a better time to check out some new indie comics.

They are:

  1. The Many Deaths of Laila Starr
  2. The Good Asian
  3. The Department of Truth
  4. Love Everlasting
  5. The Cull
  6. W0rldtr33
  7. Black Cloak
  8. Damn Them All
  9. Somna
  10. Eight Billion Genies

Many Deaths of Laila Starr fucking ruled, Rare Flavours was the same team IIRC and was also just as good. W0rldtr33 also rules. Haven't read the rest unfortunately.

Thanks for the recommendations - I'm becoming quite the fan of Ram V and was wondering what to try next.

No problem! I'm a fan of his too, he's a really good writer!

I enjoyed The Department of Truth and have ordered Damn Them All thanks to that listicle.
