Southern Bastards made me so mad

 

[Messi]

Also, for some reason this page is attacking me and turning aggressively into a blatantly fake, probably virus infected "Your Java is outdated so you should totally update through this pop-up site" thing. Maybe I picked up a virus or something, I don't know.

I am the virus

Southern Bastards made me so mad

I just finished it. So much this.

 

[GAMEPROFF]

I just cant read Southern Bastards. Its so clichee Hill Billy style, at least in the first issue. I feel so akward while reading it...

 

[Kipp]

As far as I know, the only place to buy it is Bergen St Comics in Brooklyn or etsy when Michael Fiffe randomly puts issues up there for sale. It'd be great to be proven wrong since it sounds like something I'd absolutely love.

You can order the first TPB from here.

The art is absolutely stunning. Some of the most creative stuff I've seen in comics.

 

[Boogiepop]

Slayven posts have that effect. Just wait til this page is over, friend.

I am the virus

Who do I believe?!

 

[ViewtifulJC]

Who do I believe?!

well Messi posts all the fuckin' time, but this never happen until Slayven posted, right? Seems pretty obvious to me who the culprit is.

I think we're safe for now

 

[Tyrant Rave]

Who do I believe?!

Messi was 1/10th of the last thread, it's not him that's for sure

Read the first issue in Stray Bullets vol 1 the other night and that was pretty good. I'll try to read some more today

You know how you are like the Legion of Superheroes? Tried, forced, and yet you keep going even though all your fans are gone.

 

[Loxley]

Hey gang, I'm looking to get back into reading X-Men comics this month. Would "All New X-Men" be the place to start?

Bro, bro brobrobro BRO. Don't do this. Your verbal drone strikes are going to cause collateral damage that you can't afford.

GrandHarrier will still be here in a hundred years when the Legion is a vague memory of Paul Levitz and Lighting Boy.

and you still won't be shit

Messi, you better pray Slayven doesn't join us, or your reign of "most posts in a single thread for some reason" will come to an end

You should probably just get over your awkward awkwardness and read it. The creators are from the South and telling a Southern-ass story, and it's incredible. Every issue is damn impactful and it's all setting up to snowball like Scalped did. I'd say get to issue 4 before you even consider dropping it.

Yo did you read Deathlok? Shit was amazing.

Laurel Gand and Jeka Wynzorr are the only legionaries that matter.

It seems to be pretty controversial on account of Bendis writing it.

It's basically Claremont lite. It has some high points, and is pretty much not the worst thing Bendis is fucking up right now.

Ya'll love voting so much, so now its time to vote for the Top 100 Comic Writers/Artists of All-Time again.

CBR did this four years ago, here's 2010's top 125 Writers and Artists lists

 

[Filthy Slug]

Nah, to be honest I haven't read a single Edmonson book that I've enjoyed. I think the dude is bland as fuck, in general, but I'll check Deathlok and see what's going on in there.

That's ok I guess. It's like how I don't have any interest in reading more Blacksad because even though the art is gorgeous, I've seen deeper detective noir stories in a Calvin and Hobbes "Tracer Bullet" strip.

OmnibusGAF,

Did anyone get that Deadpool & Cable Omni this week? I'm thinking about getting it, but I never read the series.

Worth it?

It's a fun series. I think it's worth the ~$60 that it's going for on IST

Great list, but

Spoiler

Frank Miller

that high on the writing end is super ballsy, but I can get behind that list almost 90%

I guess you can't deny the influence the dude has had in the medium.

 

[Filthy Slug]

Yo, if you see one vote for Ian Bertram for top 10, it's mine.

This section from 2010 is hilarious:

94 Judd Winick – 106 points

92 Scott Lobdell – 109 points

91 David Lapham – 110 points (1 first place vote)

This totally makes up for the Nightly News gaffe on your part.

how did Judd Winick get 100+ points

big Jason Todd fans out there I guess

Nice lists. Everyone except for Lapham, Claremont, and Moore would be on my top 10 writers as well (and that's just because I haven't read any Lapham or Claremont and have only read Watchmen by Moore).

Also, high five for including Miller and Martin on your top 10 artists list.
Just before I refreshed the ComicsGAF page and saw your post, I was thinking about how I need to catch up on Private Eye. I think I might hold off until it's finished though since it's sort of close to wrapping up. I loved the first five issues though. Especially Martin's art.

Marcos Martin is an incredible artist.

Do that, the whole 10 issue series is gonna read well together. As it is, it takes about 2 months for each 28+ widescreen pages issue to come out, but I think its the best thing BKV has ever done, and its no small part because of Marcos Martin's fantastic work. I could have put a million people in that #10 slot, but I went with Marcos. I honestly believe he's one of the best sequential artist ever.

There really is something special about him.
His work on Daredevil in particular blew me away.

2 pages already! Don't you guy's have families or something.

I'd be interested in a top 10 colorists list. This year I've been hyper aware of incredible colorists like Jordie Bellaire, Rico Renzi, FCO, etc.

[my name is ed]

Moebius is the worldwide GOAT. Everything else can be up for debate.

 

[arkon]

First Stray Bullets trade arrived in the post today. Looking forward to it. The first issue I read was fucked up, in a good way.

 

[Zombine]

Moebius is the worldwide GOAT. Everything else can be up for debate.

He is, but he has a couple Marvel things that he drew that I consider questionable quality wise.

Edit: let me clarify, those Marvel pics he drew are flawless, but a couple do not appeal to me.

 

[BlueScrote]

Damn it! I'm moving my last posts my the previous thread to here.



Full time job here, though honestly most of my posting happens while at work. On the weekends I'm doing shit around the apartment, spending time with my GF, and trying to play video games.



Did you know I didn't finish black flag. I got 3/4 of the way through it, and then the fucking seagate external hard drive died and took all my game saves with it. I disliked the ship stuff so much I can't go back.

Also my GF and I got woken up at 4 am this morning by my server's raid card's alarm because the last of the seagate drives I bought died. Fuck Seagate. 4 drives in 2 years dead.




YAY on Batman 35 making it, at least 1 of the books I voted for made it in the list this month.

I guess it just goes to different tastes, but I thought the ship stuff was the best part of Black Flag.

Is Transformers #35 a pick up of an old series? I've only been following More Than Meets the Eye (which is fantastic). I didn't think there was a non-subtitled Transformers book coming out.

The book now known as The Transformers used to be called Transformers: Robots in Disguise, but that has now changed as the sequel to the Prime cartoon is using that title. I don't see the need for the change as they're different markets, but that's the reason. Both books are crossing over for Days of Deception as well.

We totally should do a ComicGAF best of the year list.

Book of the Year as always:Tarot: Witch of the Black Rose

Runner up: Spiderverse.

 

[ThyMusicMan]

On to a new month.

So I finally read Harley Quinn PeeGee..
I may get banned.... but it just doesn't do much for me.
I enjoyed it,, book looks good.. I don't dislike it. Just doesn't do much for me.
Sorry Messi lol.

Also I finally did it,, finally dropped Amazing Spider-Man. Never been crazy about spider-man,, the only thing that got me ready amazing spider-man was because I really like Superior Spidey and just continued onto Amazing.
