Having only gotten into comics in the past year-ish, I wasn't really around to hear good things about TWD, only bad things, so I kind of forgot that it used to be really good. So would you suggest picking up the compendium that has 1-48? I'm not really into zombies, but I do enjoy good comics.

Yes, I always refer people to the compendium to start off with. The stories within that book are gold, and the reason why The Walking Dead picked up as a franchise to begin with. I will say though that if you enjoy it as much as I did, when you hit the last page of the final issue in the compendium you might as well pick up the second one then catch up. That book at it's absolute weakest is the "event" that just happened, but like I've said a dozen times, it's a prelude to the real story. Right now things are kicked off fresh again.

 

[fauxtrot]

Yeah i had no problem picking up 10-15 page books this time due to them being half off

still debating if i want to just get the Bandette issues for three dollars or get the swank hardcover

 

[Freezasaurus]

That Teen Titans cover is actually really good IMO.

I'm kinda tempted to check out the new series. I haven't read TT in ages, and Raven looks badass with that helmet on.

 

[Zer0 Kane]

This guy is on my radar now. His art style has so much character.

He's pretty good.
Probably does my favorite Flash and I don't think he has even done a complete issue.

From All Flash #1.

He is the main reason I am looking forward to Gotham Academy.

So, I've been getting kind of bored with my current comics: * X-men, * Avengers, Spiderman, and a few other ones. Any recommendations on what I should pick up? Perhaps Thor? Or TMNT?

TMNT is rad. Definitely give it a shot.

Okay, sweet. I'll definitely pick that up sometime then.

nooooooooo

although it'd be like the cheapest double dip ever so, hell with it

 

[SRG01]

TMNT is rad. Definitely give it a shot.

I'll go see if there are any trades. I've missed a lot of issues already and I need to catch up!

 

[fauxtrot]

Speaking of the Monkeybrain sale, has anyone read Red Light Properties? The art isn't really my style but the premise sounds interesting enough.

Get some stuff from Image.

So a book I haven't read much discussion about in here has been "Figment" by Marvel/Disney Kingdoms.

It's two issues in so far and is essentially the story of an inventor who starts to turn his imagination into matter. I'm honestly not sure if this is a character from Disney's history, but it's been a pleasure to read so far.

Figment was created for Epcot back in '83. He and the inventor are stars of the Journey Into Imagination attraction.

 

[Kipp]

Oh my goodness. Has anyone here read Garth Ennis's Dan Dare? On a whim a while ago, I picked up the "omnibus" which is all 10-ish issues he did for something like $2 used.
None of the comics I've tried reading this past week (while I wait for my IST order to arrive so I can continue reading Unknown Soldier) have really been clicking, so I decided I might as well give Ennis's Dan Dare a shot.
I just read the first issue of it, and oh man. I totally dig it. I haven't read any other Dan Dare stuff and know nothing at all about Dan Dare, but so far, it's just a super cool sci-fi/space story. Pretty much what you'd expect an Ennis sci-fi/space book would be (it's not vulgar like other Ennis stuff though; it seems he completely held back on the vulgarity for Dan Dare, which works well for it so far).
I'll probably talk more about it once I read more, but having just read one issue, I'm super excited to read more of it. Without knowing before I started it, I think this is exactly what I wanted to read. Comics are so good.

But seriously, getting back to the question I opened with: has anyone else read this? I've never seen it mentioned anywhere (which led me to assume it was going to be pretty lame). I wouldn't know it even existed if I hadn't typed "Garth Ennis" into the GoHastings search engine and decided to buy it since it was so cheap.

This. I remember it from when I was a kid. Figment was an animatronic puppet.

Sex Criminals, Rat Queens, and Superior Foes of Spider-Man!

TMNT is great too

Thor is definitely an amazing read. Plus you get THREE!

Found this in the Arrow OT - Lemire + Sorrentino are leaving Green Arrow in September, and are getting replaced by Andrew Kreisberg, Ben Sokolowski (Arrow producers) and Daniel Sampere.

Yeah, we talked about it a few pages back. I'll give it a trial issue and go from there. I like the guys art.

 

[Toa TAK]

Miles Morales #3's cliffhanger bums me out. I was PUMPED.

 

[Tragicomedy]

Just caught up on all 19 pages of the thread. Shame that I missed the clown shoes Quietly Catwoman drawing. Dude is the worst.

I finally caught up with all of Daredevil Vol 3 last night. It might be my favorite take on him yet. I haven't read the full Bendis or Brubaker runs yet, which I intend to do soon, so that will be the ultimate test.

I'm clearing out a massive backlog right now and looking for advice on what to read next. My main choices are the full series of:

1) Bone
2) Punisher MAX
3) Sin City
4) Sandman
5) 100 Bullets

I'll eventually read all of these, but I'm looking for advice on which is the "must read."

 

[flaxknuckles]

Karl Kerschl who is the artist for the newly announced Gotham Academy, posted this on Twitter, a future variant cover of a book not GA. I love the style!

Edit - Added another.

Wonder Woman's hips look so weird they kill this whole cover

Is this guy incapable of drawing pelvis regions? Wonder Woman's whole hipthigh region is like a big circle and Wonder... Girl? (?) is similar. Otherwise I like it, Batman's cowl reminds me of Gatchaman

EDIT: DAMN YOU FLAXKNUCKLES

Man, why was Daredevil 0.1 $5.
Didn't even have a digital code.

Depends on what you're looking for, but I can't ever pass up suggesting Bone. Any of those choices would serve you well though, so just pick the one that best fits your mood!

Axel Alonso's brilliant business sense.

Marvel needs to hire someone dedicated to pricing structure.

[Zeus Molecules]

Oh yeah, Manhattan Projects should definitely be on my to-read list, I always keep forgetting about it. I'll definitely look into it, thanks for the reminder.

No problem. Also you might want to look Into another ongoing "Prophet" by Brandom Graham. The only thing is you will need a basic understanding of "Youngblood" characters to really know wtf is going on.

 

[GAMEPROFF]

What was he going to pay Selima for?
Edit: yeah. Misses her second Bubble. Its way to late, I need to sleep

 

[Owzers]

It's a collection of the whole Marvel Infinite Daredevil digital story, longer than a regular issue.

That's why I love my thick, new Wonder Woman. Fight the gap.

Those lips.

 

[fauxtrot]

Even that WW has thigh gap, and each of her thighs are thicker than her head!

She makes Chun-Li look reasonably proportioned.

 

[Zombine]

Good for eating hamburgers.

 

[Jedeye Sniv]

Read Teen Titans Year One, it's incredible looking.

 

[gerg]

Even that WW has thigh gap, and each of her thighs are thicker than her head!

She makes Chun-Li look reasonably proportioned.

She also has a magical top that is at the same time partly metallic and shaped, and yet does nothing to alter the natural fall of her bust whatsoever.

 

[Zombine]

Read Teen Titans Year One, it's incredible looking.

I had no idea this existed. Looks stunning. Reading asap.

 

[fauxtrot]

New Wonder Woman is gonna need some new doorways installed in her house:

I think I have finally accepted the nu52 costume changes. This actually looks good.

Is that hack still writing the book?

Nope, Will Pfeifer is writing, never read anything by him myself. Kenneth Rocafort is drawing, which could be good. I like that the hood being removed from Wonder Girl's costume makes it like 50% better

 

[Tragicomedy]

Sandman or punisher Max

Thanks, guys. Punisher Max followed by Bone it is.

Pfeifer isn't bad. His run on Catwoman followed Brubaker's.

 

[ReiGun]

I've always liked the TT's nu52 suits save Red Robin's. And even that would be fine with a few alterations. Wonder Girl, Bunker, and Beast Boy's suits I especially enjoy.

I just wish they could get some better artists drawing them in the books.

........shit.

 

[Lombaszko]

That's from the Wonder Woman anthology book that's coming out, a variant cover I think. Finch's Wonder Woman looks similar to Jim Lee's.
