So MANY titles now $5, even $6; just too pricey for me. And the rest, just don't thrill me the way they did. The only thing I guess I'm getting will be the (equally pricey) Milestone intro,...
And meanwhile, I've read Eric Powell's very harsh, but deeply moving (and disturbing) four-issue Big Man Plans, not recommended for those seeking light-hearted fare, but The Goon fans might know what...
Is it any good? Hahaha, well, mileage and variance, of course. I decided to hang onto the series; I like the Pander Brothers' artwork, and I liked that the story, despite being decades old,...
I don't know Dissident, but I actually recently finished XXX. It's a story of underground rebellion against an oppressive state which controls media output, Triple X being (if I remember correctly)...
BIG fan of Kaluta's, and later, Frank Robbins' The Shadow, as well as other iterations, notably a four-issue Shadow/Doc Savage, and a much later Shadow/Twilight Zone (yes, really! and it works!)...
Well, sad news about his own character aside, I'm otherwise here to add love for his JL8 strip. Haven't seen a new one in (it seems) at least a year, but if one hasn't seen any, it's well worth your...
Sadly enough, I found the whole story, in its GN form, disappointing: drab in appearance and in characterizations, in depth and application--I found it wanting as an 'ecological' tale, which I felt...
All I know is that I went through the entire DC offering for April and there was
not one
title that interested me.
Granted, I'm an old (old) reader and my taste has changed through the decades,...
When it first came out, it was so radically different from nearly everything else on the stands, and so well done, it was truly refreshing.
Because it was MacGregor and Colan, I picked it, and really enjoyed it. Two series, IIRC.
Ahhh, Jonny Quest is sooo good, has some really terrific stories.
Me, I'm working my way through Powers for the first time since it first published, and enjoying it as well. But--
Rereading Ellis'...
What a great summation! Thank you! Haven't much care for Doc's writers these past two (?!) decades, after MANY decades faithful following and gradual discouragement, but enjoyed most of his two...
Heh... a little late to the party, but hey, I'm here to add my voice to the loud and deserved praise for Sandman Mystery Theatre. Yes, it is well worth reading.
Yes.
oh wow, very cool good stuff, hcongjasmine. Lucifer, Hellblazer, and Preacher make a mighty powerful blend and Turtles for ccomic relief?
shoeshoemanjoe, I was a big archer and armstrong fan, and...
I recently reread the seven issues of Dark Horse's Triple X ["XXX"], which I'd forgotten so entirely that all I knew was I'd held onto it twenty-five years or more because it's written and drawn by...
#3--heartbreaking, yes, that's the word, alright. Maybe the hardest comic to read (emotionally) I can recall, certainly for many years, now. I will certainly be approaching next issue with a LOT...
I think Squirrel Girl is great! But Tigra is not Doreen Green (Squirrel Girl), and a Squirrel Girl style would not suit Tigra.
I like old sailing ships, and pictures of sailing ships, and it's pirate stories that bring those. I've always liked strong women leads, from Thorne's Red Sonja on. A Man Among Ye is a story of...
Well stingray, you seem pretty well versed in HTD, so, if not too late, let me just say that Spidergeek2000 speaks clearly for me, as well!
right now, new titles (1-3 issues published) I'm enjoying:
A Man Among Ye (pirates)
Dept of Truth (SF paranoia/conspiracy)
Spy Island (amusing (very) paranoia, conspiracy)
Grendel, KY (monster...
Sometime around the first "Secret Wars" from Marvel, which would probably be around the time of the first "Crisis on Infinite Earths." Haven't cared about events since.
With Houses of Mystery and Secrets, I'd create (heh...or 'have someone create') two anthology series of 'mini-series' with one set of creators telling a 4-6 issue story followed by another set of...
YES! But-- as Weirdspace and MRP both suggest, above, it's the first 40-some issues, by Grell, that are worth your time. The Maggie the Cat series is also good reading. The non-Mike Grell Sable...
Oh that's great to hear-- hoping to get ahold of #2 this weekend.
and then, there's--
