Stymie posted:the reboot of prophet was pretty crazy and i like it quite a bit Image is coming out with a whole shitload of good stuff these days. "Saga", "The Manhattan Projects", "Orc Stain", etc. "Witch Doctor" isn't technically as good but it's fun and stupid, and the Luther Strode books are gory post-superhero stuff, sort of like "Invincible" without the friendly, upbeat stories. "Chew" is pretty well-written but I hate the art so I'm giving it a pass. I'm not sure what happened at Image but I hope they keep it up. Other good recent comics to check out: the Casanova Quinn books by Matt Fraction and Gabriel Bá, the ongoing graphic adaptations of Richard Stark's "Parker" books by Darwyn Cooke, "Asterios Polyp" by David Mazzucchelli, and (surprisingly since it looks like animu-knockoff crap) "I Kill Giants" by Kelly and Nimura. It is completely safe to ignore anything by DC or Marvel these days. You will miss out on absolutely nothing.

Prophet is pretty good, it's weird science fiction that makes clever use of Liefeld's old characters. There's a collected version already too. The only thing I've liked recently from Marvel or DC is Dial H by China Mieville. DC has actually been smart enough not to get it bogged down in stupid crossovers, but they'll probably find some way to ruin it.

CD is such a tiresome forum. someone says they found the goblin king really silly and over the top and the regulars say "uh, didn't you watch teh beginning of the film? bilbo is exaggerating the story as he tells it, you aren't meant to take that literally!"

Stymie posted:um, i read graphic novels, thankyouverymuch i love gto and akira. i found the animes to be inferior, yet they served as gateways to the real deal, and the mangas taught me to imagine. i, uuhhh, really love your old av. i know it is sinful, but even odin hoarded the true key to 2d reality amidst a blinding frozen tundra. and unlike stationery, animated gifs transcend stasis by granting time and motion to a still image. true purgatory is an affliction of unending stillness. frozen in time, how does one perceive true depth? what is love without a gripping story? how do mortals shatter that glass ceiling without first finding a golden ticket, and who is willy wonka? progressive frames mark the procession of time, and yet peripheral vision means nothing without movement. some women are ice queens until one offers them the "chocolate" item from their inventory menu. only mammals can survive the cold of winter, and blue cats are an unconventional yet nonetheless acceptable spoiler alert that radiation is ahead. i want you to reconsider how lame your new av is in comparison to catboobs.gif. it is because i care.

Alright so I finished Robert Charles Wilson's "Spin"; it was cool. Mainly I just checked it out because the author lives like three blocks away from me. But it's got some interesting ideas on the way that life forms might colonize the universe. Now I'm reading "The Long Earth" by Terry Pratchett and Stephen Baxter. I like it so far; I was a bit skeptical of a collaboration between those two writers but it seems to be working pretty well. I got like three pages in and already there's a character that is literally a sentient vending machine so lol.

Finally decided to man up and read The Book of the New Sun series/compilation/whatever and it's so dope. I like how personal it feels, with one narrator telling his own story with a ton of details in a great style. The setting is also super cool but very nerdy, with a medieval society that still hasn't lost all of the advanced technology of previous ages. Definitely not what I was expecting. Is The Book of the Long Sun worth it? e: ol qwerty bastard posted:Alright so I finished Robert Charles Wilson's "Spin"; it was cool.

I haven't been able to read anything by Pratchett since I gave up on Unseen Academicals halfway through, the Alzheimer's is just getting more and more obvious and it's really sad
