I'm looking for some good stories that involve Thanos, I enjoyed reading Thanos Quest and the Infinity Gauntlet story and was wondering if there any other good books involving him?

All of the early Jim Starlin stuff is awesome too. The resurgence of marvel cosmic with Annihilation also has lots of Thanos. And the recent Thanos series by Toni Howard is solid.

I'm buying some stuff from comixoligy and in the mood for some anthromorphic stuff having been in an Usagi Yojimbo mood latley and have just read all of Boom Comics' Wilds End and also the Granville series. Anything new anyone can point me at? I know of Blacksad but want to buy a physical copy of that, just looking at digital things for a trip.

Gogor is an all-ages fantasy with humans and anthropomorphic animals. Low is underwater post-apocalyptic SF with intelligent animals.

I was gifted a couple months of DC Universe subscription for the shows. I love all things animated DC, I basically grew up watching B:TAS through JLU, but I've basically never read any actual comics. Since I've got this subscription anyway, and the collection is a hellscape to navigate if you don't know what you're looking for, what are some suggestions for some storylines or comics for a neophyte to check out? If it helps narrow down interests: I'm a lifelong DCAU fan and have seen a good chunk of the animated movies, I have a strong penchant for female heroes or leads, and would probably like lighter/fun stories than particularly edgy stuff. Sometimes-fan of the Arrowverse shows but especially love Legends of Tomorrow. So far I've peeped through Doomsday Clock (meh), 2016 Supergirl (got more interesting after the axe-dude mystery started), and 2016 Doom Patrol (this was pretty great).

Since I've got this subscription anyway, and the collection is a hellscape to navigate if you don't know what you're looking for, what are some suggestions for some storylines or comics for a neophyte to check out? If you've seen most of the animated films, definitely read Darwyn Cooke's New Frontier, which was the source material for that movie (and Cooke came up working on the animated series; he designed the opening sequence for Batman Beyond, among other things). New Frontier is one of my all-time favorite DC series, and pretty much anything Cooke touched was gold. It's great for unfamiliar readers, too. Starman, written by James Robinson, with art by Tony Harris and others (ran from 1994-2001; might feel very " '90s, " but it's my all-time favorite comic and a great introduction to lesser-known corners of the DCU). Justice League (#1-6) --> Justice League International (#7-25) --> Justice League America (#26-60) and Justice League Europe (#1-36, which started around Justice League America #26 and ran concurrently) -- the ultimate superhero sitcom series, and a pretty big influence on Legends of Tomorrow. It's another lifelong favorite of mine, co-written by Keith Giffen and J.M. DeMatteis. You will see why Brandon Routh's Arrowverse character was originally intended to be Ted Kord, the Blue Beetle, and why his Ray Palmer has always felt more like Ted, between the writing and Routh's performance. (1987-1992.) Catwoman by Ed Brubaker and artists including Darwyn Cooke (him again!), Brad Rader, and Cameron Stewart (#1-24 is a modern classic run, but Brubaker continued on the book until #37, and I feel like the art went downhill and it got too caught up in Bat-crossovers later on). Very noir, but Cooke, Rader, and Stewart always brought a Bruce Timm/BTAS aesthetic to the book. Also check out Batman: Ego and Catwoman: Selina's Big Score, both written and drawn by Cooke.

If you like female leads look up Gotham central which is focused on the day to day life of cops in Gotham and a lot of focus is on Renee. After that read 52 and followed by ruckas detective stuff which is Renee as the question and Batwoman. Rucka’s has some storylines during Batman’s no mans land that also are part of the Renee arc.

Batman: White Knight is a self contained, non-canon story but has a lot of little nods to TAS continuity. I have no idea if it's on their digital service but it's the rare modern Batman tale that makes me feel like a TAS-obsessed kid again. (It is decidedly not FOR kids, though!)

I dunno if “Batman: White Knight” is on DC’s app, but you can find it on Hoopla.

Is there a long run of something good made in the last 10 years or so? I'd like to binge through something. I enjoy comedy and action, generally liked preacher, y and he last man, invincible, walking dead, etc. I don't think I've read more than a few issues of anything in the last 5 years.

I think people have enjoyed Saga. It's not finished though... and on a long hiatus, too. But that's a good recommendation, I think.

If you want a long run of something good made in the last 10 years or so, you enjoy comedy and action, and you didn't mind some of the gross parts in Preacher, Image's hottest completed series is CHEW. This 60-issue madcap epic by John Layman and Rob Guillory has EVERYTHING: action, crime, horror, sci-fi, humor, classic movie references, people eating food, people eating things that aren't food, people with food-related super powers, a killer rooster, and what's that? It's all collected in twelve TPBs or six hardcover Smorgasbord editions (many of which can be gotten for cheap)! It's also available on the Hoopla digital download service through your friendly neighborhood public library.

obi_ant posted:Really? I always brushed it off as campy. Do you think its worth jumping in and collecting at this point? TMNT? I really enjoy it. They are taking all the old concepts from the OG comics, cartoons, and movies and weaving them into a big, kinda crazy, story. There are some slow bits and some that don't work for me, but I'm always excited to catch up. There's a lot of stuff and mini series (I skip most of them), so it can be a little confusing to catch up. For the most part, reading the main series and dipping into whatever minis pique your interest is fine. The first year or two had one shots that are pretty important to read but are collected in the trades separately, so those can be confusing to read in the right order.

It's definitely wayyyyy more 'comedy' than 'action' (there's not really all that much of action at all, to be honest), but Giant Days by John Allison ended earlier this year and won an Eisner, so maybe that might be worth a look?
