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.

Don't see it up yet, here's this week's list!

Looks like a light one for me, but I'm excited nonetheless!

Rare Flavours - a Rakshaasa(sp) wants to be the next Bourdain, maybe a few people eaten along the way. Issue #1 has me hooked so far.

Ice Cream Man - The sickly sweet demon god Riccardus needs no introduction. Can't wait to finally find out just "what the fuck is a Figglybump?"

Yeah, I'm tryin', but have been overloaded recently. :( Wife was in the hospital for 9 days so lots of running back and forth and now I got tapped to moderate a couple of lemmy.world communities. Exciting and exhausting!

This week for me it's:

Action Comics #1058 (Cover A Steve Beach), - Still enjoying all the Dawn of DC Supes stuff.

Alan Scott The Green Lantern #1 (Of 6)(Cover A David Talaski), - 3rd in a set of three following the Wesley Dodds Sandman and Jay Garrick Flash.

Batman The Brave And The Bold #6 (Cover A Simone Di Meo), - I'm just a sucker for a good anthology book.

Captain America #2 (Cover A Jesus Saiz) - #1 got the big thing right with cap. He's always just Steve.

Cerebus In Hell Presents Wild Pigs #1 (One Shot) - My monthly Dave Sim charity donation.

Flash #2 (Cover A Mike Deodato Jr. & Trish Mulvihill), Dawn of DC Flash reboot.

Gone #1 (Cover A Jock Wraparound Variant), - So, if you missed the magazine sized sampler from DSTLRY you might not be aware of this one, hit your local shop and ask for the "Devil's Cut" sampler. New creator owned publisher.

Green Arrow #5 (Of 6)(Cover A Phil Hester), - Feels like I missed some. #5 already? Feels like #3.

Neal Adams Vault Volume 1 SC - RIP Neal Adams. So hang in here, storytime... Late 80s, Adams bails on D.C. and Marvel and fires up his own comic book company called "Continuity Comics". Creates some new characters, writes some stories, then hires other artists to come in and mimic his style. Never really published on time, or even particularly good, but Neal Adams is still Neal Frickin' Adams. This reprints the ACTUAL Adams works, not the later knockoffs. Worth a look if you've never seen it.

Power Girl #2 (Cover A Gary Frank), - One of DCs most under-rated characters.

Rare Flavours #2 (Of 6)(Cover A Filipe Andrade), - Ram V. definitely spins a tale...

Tales Of The Titans #4 (Of 4)(Cover A Nicola Scott), - Final Issue.

Unstoppable Doom Patrol #7 (Of 7)(Cover A Chris Burnham), - Final Issue.

Wonder Woman #1 & 2 - Not sure how I missed Tom King on Wonder Woman.

Fall of X:

Alpha Flight #3 (Of 5)(Cover A Leonard Kirk), -

Jean Grey #3 (Of 4)(Cover A Amy Reeder) -

Ms. Marvel The New Mutant #2 (Of 4)(Cover A Sara Pichelli) -

Uncanny Avengers #3 (Of 5)(Cover A Javier Garron) -

Uncanny Spider-Man #2 (Cover A Tony Daniel) -
