neepheid Posted January 21, 2011 Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 I used to be well into my 2000AD. Judge Dredd, Rogue Trooper, Chopper, Strontium Dog, Zenith, that sort of thing. Ultimate Spiderman was ace too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monster Zero Posted January 21, 2011 Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 I read the Preacher series of books pretty much yearly. I like Alan Moore's stuff, especially From Hell. A friend of mine is a huge 2000AD fan from when she was young but she had to have a clearout and just gave me a shit lot of books, happily there's a couple of Alan Moore's in there, Halo Jones and Complete Future Shocks, along with loads of Rogue Trooper, which I loved as a kid, and lots of others that i've nae heard of. She also gave me the complete Sin City collection which is cool because I only ever read the first couple. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monster Zero Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 David Boring by Daniel Clowes.I just read that, picked it up for a few quid in the Oxfam shop. Not bad, Strange and a tad bewildering, like the other stuff by Clowes that I have read. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soda Jerk Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 I'm not too familiar with Clowes apart from David Boring. Would you recommend any of his other work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 Watchmen, Maus, Preacher, V for Vendetta and Red Son are almost the sum total of my comic boo...graphic novel experience. They're all fucking good though. I'm intending to use Maus with my S2s in a wee while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Owl PhD Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 Ghost World, if you haven't already. IHis first graphic novel 'Like a Velvet Glove Cast in Iron' is pretty great. It's certainly a reasonable distance 'out there' at times. I think there's at least one compilation of Eightball stuff, which is very good too.

Would you recommend any of his other work?'Ghost World' was the first I read after seeing the film, which I reasonably faithful to the book. 'Like a Velvet Glove Cast in Iron' is the only other one of his I've read. It's pretty fucked up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moose Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 back in the late 60's/early 70's I used to read lots of different Marvel ComicsBatman, Superman, X Men, Avengers, Thor, Fantastic 4....etc..... always loved em'but during middle 70's/early 80's I read LOTS of the "pocket" comics : War Library & Commando..... anybody else like these?Shaki was a big fan of the Commando comics. I believe he still has about 100 of them in a big box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jester1470 Posted January 24, 2011 Report Share Posted January 24, 2011 wanted to add...... (cos I forgot them) the "Air Ace" ones, which I probably read the most!In the early 80's we used to get Starblazer, and the Eagle one when they did that, which was very good, Used to love the Eagle and Eagle/Scream in the early 80's with the Thirteenth Floor, Doomlord, monster and Dan Dare.

Jaaakkkeee Posted January 24, 2011 Report Share Posted January 24, 2011 Anyone ever read that other one by Bryan Lee O'Malley? Worth buying or does it not compare to Scott Pilgrim? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stroopy121 Posted December 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2011 The new Avenging Spider-Man series and Mark Millar's Superior are making pretty good reading so far!xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soda Jerk Posted December 13, 2011 Report Share Posted December 13, 2011 Anyone ever read that other one by Bryan Lee O'Malley? Worth buying or does it not compare to Scott Pilgrim?I like Lost At Sea. It's very different to SP, other than the artwork, but even then it's much more bleak and minimal. Less explosions and flying punches in the face. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stroopy121 Posted December 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2011 I've never read Scott Pilgrim because of my blistering hate for michael cera. I really shouldn't let that stop me reading the comics, but in all honesty it probably will.#hipster?xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soda Jerk Posted December 13, 2011 Report Share Posted December 13, 2011 I like Cera. He's a total bigshot now, but it was stemmed from Arrested Development. You can't hate someone who was in Arrested Development, even if they murdered your family.I read an interview with him recently. I expected him to be an unrelenting bigshot twat, but he seemed like a genuinely nice chap.He's done some bollocks films though. That one where he has split personality disorder is particularly horrid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaaakkkeee Posted December 13, 2011 Report Share Posted December 13, 2011 Youth In Revolt is great. Anyone up to date with Walking Dead comics?

Soda Jerk Posted December 13, 2011 Report Share Posted December 13, 2011 I liked Youth In Revolt. I'm pretty sure we've had this conversation before.It sounds familiar. Did I call you a cunt and say I'd fight you? Or was that all the other topics? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaaakkkeee Posted December 14, 2011 Report Share Posted December 14, 2011 I've got two Civil Wars and another Robert Kirkman een needing read. Spiderman is a whiney little bitch. I forget he's meant to be young. I'm still expecting there to be a civil war spin off where Iron man fucks him. Hard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially michael 'I'm awkward, isn't it just so fucking diabeties-inducingly endearing' cera. I won't even capitalise his fucking name on principal. Fuck him and everyone who looks like him. And everyone who has a similar sounding name.If your name is schmichael cena, then fuck you, you pile of festering cunts.xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he said in an interview that if he keeps being this bad he's going to have to kill him off. Which I quite like the idea of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jester1470 Posted December 16, 2011 Report Share Posted December 16, 2011 I've got two Civil Wars and another Robert Kirkman een needing read. Spiderman is a whiney little bitch. I forget he's meant to be young. I'm still expecting there to be a civil war spin off where Iron man fucks him. Hard.I've recently read the civil war and much as i did really enjoy it i was left thinking - they wouldn't act like that, I just can't see Stark or so many others backing the bill, I could believe it of reed Richards, he's a twat, how he ever got Susan i don;t know.My girlfriend recently got into comica in a big way through Sandman and it's helped me reignite the liking I had when i was a teenager. Stand Outs I've read so far include: Marvel 1985, Captain Britain and m13 - Secret Invasion; the Sub-Mariner mini series which involved the destruction of Atlantis, the defenders, the dark Avengers; and anything with Namor as he is by far the coolest character in the Marvel universe, one minute he's good friends with Iron man, the next he's mates with Dr Doom, will always do whats best for him and his people, a decent anti-hero.

kirkt Posted December 17, 2011 Report Share Posted December 17, 2011 I've mostly just got Alan Moore stuff and Frank Miller's Batmans. Anybody got some good recommendations? I'm thinking of starting on The Boys, Y: The Last Man or 100 Bullets soon.If you enjoyed Frank Miller's Batman then you may enjoy Scott Snyder's recent run on Detective Comics which has been collected as Batman: The Black Mirror. Dick Grayson is Batman in this story but it follows on 20+ years from Year One.My favourite series is Preacher by Garth Ennis which is equally violent, hilarious and moving throughout. Essential.

kirkt Posted December 17, 2011 Report Share Posted December 17, 2011 Currently hopelessly in love with the Marvel Noir and Marvel Zombies series.If you've not already, check out 1602 by Neil Gaiman, which is just a what-if the Marvel Universe was set in 1602 but is really well written (as you'd expect by Neil Gaiman). Lots of clever twists and it makes sense in a way how the X-Men are treated as witches in the times of James I and the Spanish Inquisition etc 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
