Saga could be good but it tries too hard. I like the art. Beyond that I don't really read comics unless it's like big whole series trade paperbacks that I can binge

a student gave me saga after graduating saying i would love it. i gave it to my wife cause reading is for idiot brainiacs like her.
she said it was about a rape planet or something?

There's a story to be told in Saga that could be very good. This sort of story can't involve sex every third panel though, so that story will never be told

If you like vision that guy is writing Batman now and it's loving incredible

Also the Flintstones book that came out last year I'd a secret masterpiece, it's this rad social commentary but like weird as hell

There's a subplot through most of the book about how the appliances are slaves and at one point the appliances call the family pet "uncle Dino"

Also the issue about marriage where Fred refused to get married until Adam and Steve can get married, and also there's a gay bar called Homo Erectus

The best part about reading aside from the naked escapism is the few fleeting moments you feel smart after reading for a few hours and reflecting even tho in reality ur dumb as poo poo

The best comic currently on stands is Sex Criminals btw because it's a comic about love and dating and dick jokes and also it's a comic where a couple can stop time by coming so they use that power to Rob a bank and things go wildly out of control

Saga is like Weeds in that it's poo poo and it's poo poo precisely because it feels the need to justify its "indieness" but I keep reading/watching it anyway, except there's more reward in Saga while Weeds just bored me out of caring after awhile.

Also I checked out the latest Doom Patrol and it's fun for a Grant Morrison imitation, though it doesn't have nearly the same verve that Umbrella Academy had.

I should check out Batman again, yeah.

That issue rules because it's not even bendis iirc it's like Warren Ellis

Bendis does appear in serial killer horror comic Nail biter, where a serial killer asks him how hes any different than the killer considering how many fictional deaths he's written

His X-Men sucked though, but everyone's sucked on X-Men for years except Mike Carey.

I wish he was still on Hawkeye.

Oh that's the arc that's basically a look at what tabloids slash celeb gossip are like with superheroes

It doesn't stay that way for more than like four issues
