I've strayed from anime since the early 2000s and the dvd boom. I'd get crunchyroll but with all my other hobbies I know I'd not get to it.
I'm always frustrated there's more fiction and games out there then I have time to consume. I want it all!!!!

I am pro transformable giant mecha / robots so I often have to turn to anime / manga to sate that particular appreciation. The complete and utter lack of any sort of western version in comics is of particular sadness to me.

Double post sorry.
Good points, but know who else is made of meat? Batman, doesn't stop him from taking done aliens with matches.
So why not have him go against a guy that uses military tactics for 40+ years too?
Bonus points for the opposition defeating frank
Man Barracuda was kickass, which is funny because he was more likable than Castle haha.
On your first point, Frank went to public school.
On the second, the old fucks usually like frank. You're talking about people like Fury, Zakharov and company. Send Steve and Frank has been written lately as revering the guy so much he won't even try to fight if he gets face to face with him.
Barracuda was written to be more likeable than Castle. Almost every line of dialogue of his is funny, cocky or both. Then you've the second Barracuda arc with the absolutely hilarious
battery to the balls
IDW is doing a good job with transformers.
Bandai on the other hand...at least in America they keep jerking that Gundam dick and then slap a cock ring on it. There's never any release and they're giving us blue balls.
No American release for Turn-A is horse shit.

Freeza and I always rock anime/manga avatars. Mine is still half manga!
I have my volumes of Nisekoi on the same shelf as All-Star Superman. It's the advanced Literature shelf.
Have you read Transformers: More Than Meets The Eye? It's so good.

I might bite on the next sale. But transformer comics in the past haven't clicked with me. Plus there's so many transormers that I see on the covers that I have no idea who they are.

I'm not really into Transformers. I mean, I respect what the comics are doing, and wholly support it (my roommate also is hella into it). But I've always been more Macross / Gundam style. I'm someone who absolutely loved the absurdity that is Macross 7. I'm a kickstarter backer for the soon to release Robotech Tactics miniatures game. But the wasteland of
Mecha ain't no game son.
You know what Manga I love that I honestly didn't expect to enjoy? Rosario + Vampire. The art is sooooo good.
These keep me satisfied like you wouldn't believe.

Word. I started watching Sailor Moon Crystal just because it was there. I'm digging it, and I'm not usually one for magical girl anime outside of Madoka.
Technically, Transformers is a Japanese property, too. It just gained more footing in America than anything else. Maybe America is racist against giant robots.
As far as Gundam, the Gundam Origin manga volumes from Vertical have been really gorgeous releases.

I was thinking...are any of the Silent Hill comics any good? I have a few random ones that I found at a shop for dirt cheap but I'm curious if I should bother a) finishing off collecting the series, b) look into any others...

Ya'all scrubs talking Transformers?
That' the thing: You don't need to, heck I never knew who
Swerve, Skids, Rewind, Chromedome, Brainstorm, Pipes, Red Alert and First Aid
were (and that's to name a few!), but they've quickly become some of the most interesting characters to read about in a comic series for the longest time. Here, let me give you a quick introduction to some of the crew members
Even if you don't like Transformers, get MTMTE, if you even remotely like reading and/or great characterization, you HAVE to give the series a read.
It can't be as bad as your passable comic taste, out with it. I want to catch up on that Sailor Moon anime someday.
I only read the one story featuring the 6th Doctor which I rather enjoyed.

I own that shitty Batman and Robin cover up there. I own floppies of the first 5 issues of that run.
This cuts close my friend. Even I'm embarrassed by Bible Black.
I still read Zenescope books. They are not good.

It was a quick way of pointing out that Frank lacks, has always lacked, and will always lack the resources that Bruce has, thus making any comparison between the kinda shit they can pull off somewhat absurd. Especially JLA Bruce.
But hey, if starlord can survive in space for as long as he has, maybe frank could manage too.

Like seriously you want to see awesome writing? James Roberts' Transformers run has it in spades, take this gem for example
Swerve: "For your information, apart from Tarn and the D.J.D., I'm scared of(one, two, three four...)five things in this life: One, Megatron. (Obviously.) Two, Overlord. Three, Sixshot. Four, Shockwave. And five, some nightmare combination of Megatron, Overlord, Sixshot and Shockwave."
Hoist: "They can't combine...!"
Swerve: "Matter of time. Decepticons are obsessed with combining. Put two of 'em in a room and within seconds one will be standing on the other's shoulders. Fact."
I own the Hardcovers of various Morrison series.
...and you calling the cover shitty proves my point :V

I don't think Frank lacks anything, his military tactics is what kept him alive all this time along with knowing how to outsmart his enemies.
We all know Bruce had to go round the world and go through some hellish training and improvisation to reach the level of prep time he has. You make it sound like Bruce had been in some special Hogwarts-like school for training kids into becoming human weapons lol.
I would call my taste different in some regards. I seem to have a different angle than most people on here. Especially when it comes to female led books.
Don't be scared of what is different. I won't bite.

Guys! Guys! It's happening!
Could be worse, you could be reading Zombie Tramp. You know what book I am curious about though? That one where the dude is dating all those monster girls. I don't remember the name.
I do want that really bad. Don't necessarily want any Guardians merch other than that. Best part of the movie next to

Monster Musume? I've been reading it. Didn't pick up vol.4 yet, though. It's reeeeally pervy.
I randomly bought a book today. I hope it's good. It's the first issue of Madam Frankenstein. I bought it because I loved the art style, I adore black and white art.
Oh, I'm gonna check this out. It's on Comixology?
Edit : oh I got confused. That is most definitely not on there

No but it's written by Paul Dini so I'll buy some issues on rep alone. You enjoyed it?

Bruce chose, from a very early age, to direct his vast resources towards becoming a human weapon. On top of that, he had Pennyworth to make sure that he was well-rounded as fuck. Of course that is what i am saying. Dude can use and build top of the line tech, vehicles, healthcare, whatever. He created a gun that could kill a god. He walks around with a grappling hook.
Whereas Frank can barely use a computer, has to suture his own wounds, and drives around in a van. In the rare occasions where he does get something above standard ballistic/explosive tech, it is because he stole it from someone else. Of course a guy like that can't be expected to stop aliens with a paper clip.
You'd be better off comparing bruce to tony or tchalla.

Eh I dunno, I mean yeah I'd put him on similar if not lower levels than the average super hero, but I wouldn't say he's not that resourceful.
It all comes down to knowing who you're dealing with.
That book is disgusting and one of Ennis' worst titles ever. If you've even remotely read any of the series that featured the Marvel characters in it you'd be turned off by its meaningless violence and 'wow factor' the book goes for.
