I discovered the Parker novels a few years back, and loved them. I had already loved that genre and type of crime fiction thriller, and Parker was like seeing the ancestor of Jack Reacher and similar characters. Each book was efficient and precise, just like its main character. And Parker was such a fascinating protagonist: ruthless, uncompromising, focused, smart,
Finally picked up the comics today, and I'm in love with the character and stories all over again. The comics capture everything that made the novels great, a perfect translation from print to panel

I forgot to mention there's a neat, if unforunately brief, take on Dragon riders in issue 11. I sort of want them to focus more on the fantasy world just to see what the artist will conjure up next.

Happy birthday Messi and Tim!
Is it just me or does Carol's righteous outrage about incessant Cosmic Cube tomfoolery make her pretty entertaining to read now? It was boring when she was just acting as muscle or an enforcer but having her trying to juggle alien shenanigans as ambassador while also trying to put out Cosmic Cube fires is great.

Oh damn, just realized Darwyn Cooke was the guy behind Parker
We should do a book club for the series, so more people can learn about them and appreciate his work

Incidentally, it seems that the two "sides" in Civil War too are at least on the outset somewhat more reasonable than what they seem. Between Shi'ar fuckery, SHIELD Cosmic Cube fuckery, PEGASUS Cosmic Cube/ ISO fuckery, and Galactus showing her the flow of time as he sees it, I'm not unsympathetic to Carol maybe wanting to use someone's ability to see the future.
Hello comic-gaf! I'm slowly getting into comics. I don't know if i posted in one of these official threads before. But wanted to post some small thoughts.
After a guy at the local comic bookshop recommended Geoff Johns GL run, i got Rebirth, No Fear, and Sinestro Corps War today. They had a pretty good sale so i said why not. Got GL Secret Origins last week and liked that one.
Just finished Rebirth. Didn't like how much of an asshole Batman was in this. Haha. But overall good book. Thought Hal's revival was done pretty good. I was a bit confused on who/wtf The Spectre is. By the end, i think i sort of got what his purpose was.
Hopefully the other two books are just as good. I've heard Sinestro Corps War is really good.
So is Geoff Johns GL run the best out there or is there something better?

That's a pretty safe opinion. His run takes up A LOT of the past ten years of GL. I think they have three 1000+ page omnibus volumes out at present of just the Johns stuff.
Book club is bad idea
Yeah i didn't realize his run ran for 10 years!!! Gahh. I should have looked more into it before starting this collection!

Oh my. I made the mistake of assuming that Spread was concluded before i started it.
Mistaaaaaake.
Now there's a question i never thought i'd see.

I jumped off the train when he filed his taxes late. Fucking shameless, that dude. Ill never drop a $0.99 + tax on his ass again
aka the Edmondson/Red Wolf conundrum aka Schrödinger's bullshit
Forgot to wish you a happy birthday. I hope it was a good one. Here is a video that describes what I think your life is like
Is Civil War II less trash than the first one so far?
It's hasn't started yet
Is it out? I thought it was gonna be out in June?
The lead up seems better. No idiotic school explosion, instead legitimate conflicting interests.

Those Quitely and Pope covers for X-Statix rule
My mistake. I thought it had just started.
That's good to hear. The first was a couple of hours of my life I'd like to have back.

When it comes to Hellboy and quality, you never gotta detail what part you're reading. It will be, at the very least, good.
Srsly, mignolaverse is freaking ridiculous

Considering the route many indie game threads go over on Gaming side, 4/6 pages of discussion is pretty successful IMO

And plus, I imagine with Cooke's passing, now would be a time that more people than usual would want to check out his work. Which they should. Because Parker is fantastic

#0 comes out this week. I'm expecting disaster.
Lol make the thread. But one does escape the fate that is a comic book club

Whaat, Bond does some work? That's awesome.
I think early BPRD was a little rough, but once they settled on Mignola/Arcudi/Davis it became amazing
Everything I've read has been incredible. Really looking forward to starting Hell on Earth when I can. Hellboy in Hell has been such a delight so far.

Reading childrens crusade. This is not a good book. The og young avengers book was good. What happened here?

I didn't dislike it.
Heinberg essentially sabotages Children's Crusade because it's not so much a sequel to Young Avengers as it is an attempt to rehabilitate Scarlet Witch after she got Bendis'd in House of M, so a lot of it is continuity nonsense (Remender is interested in doing something similar with Wanda in Uncanny Avengers but pulls it off a bit better)
also it focuses on Wiccan, clearly the worst Young Avenger

I like how they deal with the obvious parallels to silence of the lambs.
Also that this book is popular here and so many of you have a problem with Avatar Press levels of gore makes no sense whatsoever.
Oh don't you worry, the quality will nosedive quite a bit after Tom Taylor drops writing duties and Buccelatto takes over.

I didn't mind the Rat Queens support, but this is too far. Impeach Freeza.
