Anyone hear read deathrattle? If anyone here wants any issues of DR and has a comic book reader on their comp I can hook you up... I've got a huge library of CBR files, mostly classic stuff (original Fantastic 4 and a huge library of Jack Kirby stuff (super rare issues of old horror stuff he did)) Chances are if you like it I most likely have it... Hit me up for free files....
Akira was an awesome read, it's a classic, make sure you get all 6 volumes. They cover the movie in about 3 volumes and then it's nothing but surprises.
Did you go through the appendices ? It's way more weird than the comic itself is'nt it ? I wish he'd give more details on his "Denise" relation. He could devote a whole new book just on that if you ask me ..
The appendices are the best. Would definitely love to have more details about his relationship. Would love an interview with her actually. Weird stuff. Romantic in a way...
I recently read this: And it was an amazing read. I'm currently travelling but I wish I had a copy with me, I would definitely go through it all over again.
Yeah ^ Tatsumi is awesome ! You realize that his Sook-Yin Lee is the one that was played in Shortbus ? I would love to read is take on this (and Joe Matt's )
Great thread, i have learned I should get Invincible , Walking Dead and Haunt! Thanks guys! I will also be looking for Imiri Sakabashira
Why There are tons if amazing dutch (well, mostly flemish..) comics that I would love to see translated ! Do you know about Brecht Evens and Olivier Schrauwen ? You also have Joost Swarte, who is godly ! http://www.bries.be/artists.html are publishing and translating good stuff too.
I don't know them... I have been out of the comic scene for about 10 years As a kid I read Kuifje/TinTin, De rode ridder (Willy Vandersteen & Urssla Lundmark) and suske and wiske (Willy Vandersteen) After that really got into Storm, and not much later came across some Marvel Comics. Due to a lack of time and the closing of a nearby comicshop it has been a while since I bought my last comic/stripboek/grafical novel. I am hear to make up for lost time. I will definitely look in to the names of the Flemish guys you stated.
I really enjoyed Brubaker's Incognito. Oh, and everything involving Ben Templesmith, especially Wormwood The Gentleman Corpse.
Thank Freaking Satan!!!! i have wanted to talk comics on here for like forever!!!! Ok so i read pretty much everything I have been a big DC guy for years and i read a good amount of marvel but i also read tons of image and indie stuff so... books that rule ... But Daytripper was Awesome Scalped Is great Izombie is way fun and Sweet Tooth and American Vampire are Gold
Surprisingly, I've picked up this serie (Spidey affiliation..) and I'm enjoying it I zombie is cool too, but the other DC stuff, I don't know how you do it !
I grew up on it i have a green lantern collection that is in its own right pretty damn impressive but as of late this new 52 idea is dog shit and im ready to just give up on dc besides Green Lantern... but FF is awesome you can tell hickman loves the four and that he has amazing ideas for them
I think this will be a bomb ! This was supposed to be a Batman book ?! The story reads like an unrefined El Eternauta. The art is awesome. Very crude. If Tintin in Congo was banned in some places and Le Schtroumf Noir had to be made purple in the US, I wonder what will happen to this. Miller is not the first major artist to tackle the subject of terrorist bombings in graphic novel (Yslaire did it years ago, in a more romentic way) but I think it will be the one that gets the most talked about.
Richard Corben just had an auction on his site. I woulden't mind an original "DEN" sketch, hanging on my wall! However I did not buy anything, but looking is fun to.
Started reading Osamu Tezuka's Black Jack. Not sure how I feel about it yet. I haven't been a fan of short stories in a bit but I can't seem to stop. Already on Volume 2 though so I must like it. I just also picked up Tekkon Kinkreet and Solanin. The TK movie was amazing especially w/ the background art. The comic is definitely much simpler and just in black and white.
Since nefasth brought up the Chester Brown book, I have to give full props to his Louis Riel biography. I am really surpirsed no one mentioned it yet actually. Great art, great story (even if you aren't interested in Canadian history). I would also recommend Joe Sacco's "Palestine." Originally a series of comics, it has since been collected into a hardcover.
I didn't realize the collection had come out!!! Anders Nilsen's Big Questions was a favorite surprise discovery of mine from a trip to Quimby's back in '02. I was only in town for the day and pressed for time by the time I arrived at the store so I just dropped my last $40 on mostly random grabs from their wall of self published stuff, hopped in the back seat and off I went back to Detroit. Been following Anders ever since. I'd go on and on about watching his growth as an artist and a storyteller over 10 years as this series slowly came out, but I'm sure a quick search will yield dozens of articles about the same things. Me, I'll skip 'em until I get this collection in hand; I've missed the last couple issues and wouldn't want to risk the NYT or other fancy rags spoiling even a single page. I'd like to second the nomination for Louis Riel to line your bookshelf. As satisfying to read and look at as the true stories within are enraging and compelling.
