Hey guys this humble bundle is full of amazing books you should probably be reading. Only a day left:

https://www.humblebundle.com/books/image-expo-comics?hmb_source=navbar&hmb_medium=product_tile&hmb_campaign=tile_index_4

I'm sure some are stinkers, but I really enjoyed Chew, Manhattan Projects, East of West, Southern Bastards, Saga, the Wicked and the Divine, and Sex Criminals.

Bunch of things there that I've wanted to read for a while. Thanks for the tip!

Cactus, my dad's bulldog, really enjoyed my Nintendo Power comics.

It's been a few years since I read it, but I don't recall it being egregiously offensive. Then again, I only recall the first arc where they showed that Wolverine was the one that tortured Nuke.

It's not offensive or anything, it's just really stupid, self-important, ugly and boring. I'm mostly mad at myself for buying so many issues because I really wanted to learn more about Wolverine's past.

I want to ask about the Moon Knight: Some time ago I saw a pretty interesting post in the Touching and Inspiring Panels Thread about him confronting his multiple personalities. I'd like to read that run in the future but there's a couple of things: First, I've never read any MK. Second, the only easily available run for me to acquire is the one that begins with Warren Ellis followed by Jeff Lemire, which I assume is the one that was posted in that thread, except, so far, they've only published it here until Moon Knight(2016) #9, which I'm assuming that does not contain the climax that I saw on the other thread. There's only one tpb left for them to finish the run, and it would be a huge dick move to not publish it, so I'm going to hope it'll be done soon. I'm still considering taking the plunge on the first 5 volumes but I'm wondering how confusing it'll be for a first-time reader.

You don't need to read anything before Lemire's run. There's a stretch of Brian Wood and Cullen Bunn between Ellis and Lemire that I doubt many people bothered to read. I sure didn't.
Get Ellis' trade anyway, since it's good.

Yes, I've given MU a ride but it's kinda shoddy for an app made by a multimillionaire company and also I'd like to have them both in physical volumes and in my own language.

Also, worst comes to worst, I can buy it on Comixology, which I thought was much better for digital issues.

I know people ask about age-appropriate comics a lot, but I tutor a lot of ESL kids and want to recommend some kid-friendly reading for some (think around 10–13). Vocabulary is the biggest hurdle for them; I think visual context will really help. I credit comics for building mine up when I was young, but I've got no idea what's safe for kids anymore. I see Jeff Smith's Shazam books and Supergirl in the seventh grade tossed around a lot; is Spider-Man Adventures still in print? Is American Born Chinese okay for that age range?

I don't hate it but a lot of people do. I'd say it does feel like one of those runs where they wanted to write a particular character, but got assigned a different book so they just make a bunch of unnecessary changes

Other people hate it. I liked it, but will admit it's really anticlimactic, cuts off early, and leads into an event that didn't actually happen for another 2 years (which didn't even feature Moon Knight). I dug the concept, but I'd really only recommend it if you are a Bendis/Maleev or Moon Knight completist.

Bendis shits on established continuity and inserts his own take. That's it.

I'm meeting my friend in a week and I've been thinking of gifting her a graphic novel. She's just read Lemire's Essex Country and loved it. Daytripper is also one of her favorites. She's a high school teacher and reads a lot of literature. What would be some good books for her?

Hard mode: no Sandman (she already has it I think)

I think a shorter graphic novel would do better than a long or ongoing series, but The Unwritten does sound like something my friend would enjoy.

Lemire's other creator owned works are much shorter than Essex County and Sweet Tooth. Royal City's currently ongoing, so who knows, but that has a slice of life feel probably closest to Essex.
After Death (written by Scott Snyder, drawn by Lemire) is interesting, being half prose.

The tpbs by Fantagraphics are good, they collect the entire series. Also, as a fellow south American, I’m gonna recommend you Bookdepository.com
It doesn’t charge shipping and in most cases it’s cheaper than amazon once you convert to your local money.
