I'm not sure if every Europeans comic listed count as independent, as they might be part of big editorial houses in their country of origin or they appeared in magazines that were pretty popular back...

Sure, I mention comicbooks with friends (casual readers at best, except for manga, where there're a few that read constantly), relatives (one of my brothers likes comics of all type a lot; two of my...

Anna Karenina, by Leo Tolstoy

I bought this book almost a year ago, had it in the shelf since. It has also been almost a year since my first and last (until now) Tolstoy novel, War and Peace

I'm going to be that pedant user in the thread: Boku No Hero Academia is part of the superheroes genre. I don't like when "manga" is seen as a genre :p

But seriously, I'm of the opinion that...

I've just been reading a ton of Tintin (and just for his birthday a couple of days ago!). Some in spanish, my mother tongue, and others in catalan, where part of my family comes from (and a language...

The Return, by Hisham Matar

That Green Goblin was born out of the infamous 90s Clone Saga. The character, Phil Urich, was pretty regular in the Spider-Man titles under Slott as a new incarnation of the Hobgoblin (this time as a...

I hope Marvel announces ASM Epic Collection volume 6 soon. I haven't found any info about it, but I expected to complete Stan Lee's time as the regular writer of the series this year

After reading some more albums of Tintin, I started the fourth volume of Blueberry, that collects albums 10 to 12 of this glorious western
...

Nick Spencer has been a fun writer in ASM so far. He has had cool and boring stories. I think he hasn't reached as high but neither as low as Dan Slott's with his best and worst stories.

I think...

I read Lemire and Smallwood's Moon Knight and really liked it. I'm no expert on Moon Knight at ALL, but I got a great time with this run, some cool twist and amazing visuals. If I remember right,...

At first glance: I hate it
Later: Maybe it's not thaaat bad
Now: When does it arrive to Marvel's Spider-Man for Ps4!?

Tintin in the Land of the Soviets, by Hergé

My uncle used to collect Tintin as a child and for some reason my mother kept those comics, so I always had access to them and this year I read some...

Thorgal collects albums 5 to 8
Blueberry collects albums 10 to 12
And that first Tintin story was one of the few that I didn't have

Trouble, by Mark Millar and Terry Dodson. I was in my early teens when I read this story and it was the first time I experienced repulsion at a comicbook for how bad it was. I couldn't believe that a...

All Star Batman & Robin, by Frank Miller and Jim Lee. Although it can be a fun experience if you turn your brain off

Dark Knight Strikes Again #3 by Frank Miller and Lynn Varley. Many people hate...

I'm of the idea that no matter the decade, there's some good stuff for me to read, but my favorite Marvel era is definitely the 80s. I think it had the perfect balance between superhero suspension of...

The Man Who Loved Dogs, by cuban writer Leonardo Padura

Off the top of my head: Tom King, Jean “Moebius” Giraud, Liam Sharp, Mike Deodato Jr, Ivan Reis, Jorge Fornés, Jack Kirby, Andy Kubert, Kentaro Miura (though I’m not an special fan of his change...

Most of my life, I was a re-reader (does that term exist?). As I earned more money, I started to prioritize new comicbooks and balance them with books. Nowadays I don't read as many comics as before,...

I smoked from 15 years old to mid-17. Not my kinda stuff really, my biggest drugs are beer and coffee ... and comics, of course
