super hero comics are great because all of the messy stuff like character development takes 3 pages in the first issue and from then on its smooth sailing into uncomplicated violence against Bad Guys see also: Law & Order

Hellboy and its spinoffs, and Beasts of Burden Hill are my favorites. Both are inspired by pulp and horror, are extremely high concept (a devil raised by humans investigates paranormal mysteries, a group of dogs and a cat investigate paranormal pet mysteries) but are really platforms for understated and well develop characters to just react to gently caress poo poo They're really good imo

Modern Archie stuff is pretty good. It's amazing how Afterlife with Archie, which is literally just the walking dead but with Archie characters, managed to out class it in human drama while being a comic where zombie jughead is called jugdead and leads a horde of undead and Sabrina the teenage witch marries cthulhu Also Archie vs Predator was funny

For real if anyone thinks this is weird GBS irony it's not. Archie Comics went through a legitimate Renaissance in the last 6-7 years where management looked at all their poo poo and said "we can do better" and then went out and actually did better. Even the mainline "Archie/Jughead/Betty&Veronica" poo poo was redone with actual artists and is worth a drat instead of being frozen somewhere in 1965. mind the walrus fucked around with this message at 05:23 on Sep 28, 2016 |

They also rebooted Sabrina to be like an old EC horror comic and its legit good too. Also the new Flintstones comic is better than it has any right to be.

Seriously check out hell boy and brpd, check out beasts of burden, check out the modern Archie stuff. Those three things exist in this space where they are pretty genrey, not superhero comics though, but they out class their respective Peter's throughout all media. There isn't a better paranormal investigation tv show than the hell boy or beasts of burden comics. Comics are great at high concept genre stories. Take Gotham Central. It's Law and Order in the Batman universe and it just loving works.

Synthetic Hermit posted:Superhero comics, yes. They're all clones of each other, with the "classic" comics all having very sterile art and plotlines, and the modern comics all having page-filling panels with busy, overcoloured artwork and ultra-grim plots/characters. The Goon, which is another good (though uneven) comic I forgot to list makes fun of '90s superhero comics in an issue:  Also check-made other media:

Putty posted:I've been thinking a bit lately about Comics and how they are kind of sub-par compared to everything else. A lot of you reading this probably have seen The Avengers or The Dark Knight, but haven't cared or bothered about the comics they're based on. With a TV show or movie you are (hopefully) treated to great visuals, pacing, and action. Books let you get immersed in the narrative with the fine details. You can get lost in some good music. Good games introduce immersive progression and reward. on one hand, it sounds like you've never read a comic that you really liked. on the other hand, yeah, there aren't any, say "Blockbuster" comic book issues that the world looks forward to each release. nothing on the scale of The Avengers or Harry Potter or Call of Duty, say. that said, the influence of comic books is pretty huge, especially on video games, television, and film, sooooo.... i dunno

mind the walrus posted:A good comic: We3 Frank Quitely's art is fantastic. Speaking of which, I really liked Flex Mentallo. That said, I've enjoyed most things by Grant Morrison. His Animal Man and Doom Patrol runs were great. Lots of non-super hero comics are great too. Maus was a pretty haunting read. Chester Brown's Louis Riel biography was really well-done too.

Blind Sally posted:Lots of non-super hero comics are great too. Maus was a pretty haunting read. Chester Brown's Louis Riel biography was really well-done too. After that though.... "my autobiography" is a genre into of itself in non-superhero comics. Probably the second-most popular after superheroes. WizardVan posted:Persepolis was kind of cool It's actually really hard to find good "non-superhero" comics to recommend because so much of the non-Marvel/DC output is about superheroes by another name. Most non-superhero books are about characters who don't wear capes or do public good in a semi-fluid status quo, but are still badasses of some kind with exceptional abilities fighting--figuratively or literally--clearly defined memorable villains in the interest of a greater cause. By this kind-of vague definition you could classify Law&Order or Columbo as a superhero work and to be blunt, I really loving would. All that really changes is the genre-flavor (street crime, western, trippy sci-fi, post-apocalyptic, pure fantasy, horror, some blend thereof). It's like "uh sure, go read The Walking Dead, or Saga, or Sandman, or East of West, or Transmetropolitan, or The Wicked + Divine, or Pride of Baghdad, or Fables, or Hellboy" but really, the only fundamental differences are: * How much the characters can swear * The probability characters will die and stay dead (not as high as you might think) * How much violence you'll see * The amount of baggage the characters will be allowed to work through * The probability Batman or Spider-Man will show up (and other associated shared-universe baggage) There's nothing wrong with these mind you. It's just kind of "uhh... if you don't like superheroes but like these then I've got bad news for you..." like your Vegan friend talking about how much he loves these Southwestern Egg Rolls at Chili's. There are good totally non-superhero books out there but unless you're talking about Archie you're going to have to loving dig for them. I'm not talking about looking one shelf over at Barnes and Noble. I mean going to your local comic shop, dealing with the employees, checking online communities for upcoming publishing lists and recommendations. It's something you have to really work for. Everything anyone recommends to you otherwise is the equivalent of when someone says "oh sure I'll get you a fat-free burger" then slaps the exact same kind-of patty down in the back. mind the walrus fucked around with this message at 06:29 on Sep 28, 2016 |

black Hole Black Hole is a really interesting science fiction coming of age comic that I first read in high school and have reread like 10 times since then. It's about a disease spreading amongst the teenagers in a small town outaide of Seattle that causes them to grow abnormal deformities on their bodies or faces. The people infected obviously attempt to hide it up to some of them living in hiding in the woods. It's got a really unique art style and I really like it check it out dudes and ladies comics can be good.

Oh, if any of you fuckers want something "hardcore" look up Crossed. It's what that angry hosed up kid in middle school drew in his notebook taken to a professional level. It is an anthology series about a zombie virus that turns people into the "Reavers" from Firefly, only there is zero pussyfooting around. It features infant rape and dismemberment, on the page in the first issue and largely keeps at that level. I'm going to demonstrate this via various covers. This is about as tame as it ever gets:  This is where the series likes to go with alarming regularity:   THIS IS EXTREMELY NOT WORK SAFE IF YOU ARE DISTURBED BY OR HAVE SUFFERED VIOLENT TRAUMA THESE IMAGES ARE NOT SUITABLE FOR VIEWING I AM NOT loving JOKING YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED             It is not always a good book. In-fact it frequently isn't and feels like an idiot dare taken way too far. Yet it is compelling, and the best stories pull off a level of feral tension that no other zombie story can match. Why? Because you always know that if the human characters get caught and most of the time they do because they're lovely people and/or get screwed over they're not just getting dismembered. To quote Firefly "they’ll rape us to death, eat our flesh and sew our skins into their clothing. And if we’re very very lucky, they’ll do it in that order." So if you find Berserk, Eli Roth, and Hellraiser too drat pedestrian... this might be worth a look.
