The reason why Americans don't appreciate printed cartoons is that in American parlance "adult" means boobs and violence even though boobs and violence, especially in this format, are most appealing to, and, particularly in American popular culture, mostly used to appeal to, children of both the literal and non-literal varieties. So you get something nominally marketed for adults and it's all "HORSE COCK HORSE COCK ZOMBIES HERE'S AN AREOLA!!!" I used as many commas as I could so sue me.

Millions of Crows posted:Remember writers like Moore and Ennis are from Europe. Nudity and sex don't shock there like in the US. There was no Comics Code Authority forcing the whole medium to be only for children. No. Horror done right is more acute when it relies on suggestion than when it depends on disgust. Moore knows this. Helical Nightmares posted:As a Lovecraft fan I have to state Neonomicon is nothing but being gross and edgy to be gross and edgy. Horror done well requires suggestion and pacing. The author knows this and is deliberately turning out trash. In Henry James, writer of the classic horror ghost story "The Turn of the Screw", own words: quote:In the Notebooks an in the Preface to Volume IX there are extensive reerences to Jame's intension in writing "The Turn of the Screw." He wanted to write a ghost story with real ghosts in it, and still make the story believable. He deliberately refrained from specifying the evil influences which the two ghosts exercise over Flora and little Miles. "Make the reader think the evil, make him think it for himself." These and other controls are built into the story. The critic who ignores them and rewrites "The Turn of the Screw" to suit his fancy should be aware of what he is doing. Above by Willard Thorp, Princeton University. Steven King echoes the same sentiment in Dance Macabre. If I recall correctly so does HP Lovecraft in either his letters or Supernatural Horror in Literature. I don't have my copy on hand atm so I'm not quoting from it. Moore is a scholar and knows all of the above. He deliberately chose to go graphic and sexual in Neonomicon instead of using suggestion. Also go gently caress yourself with your limited tastes. Dear reader, it's this narrow mindedness which is why I don't go to comic conventions or read comics that often. Helical Nightmares fucked around with this message at 13:43 on Sep 30, 2016 |

Another quality comic. In progress. Every panel is bursting with details and nuance of the world or it's characters.

I love comics because they're cheap to make. There is no barrier to entry, take an empty page and scribble over it, you have a comic. there are kickass comics literally done in crayons or scribbles

I remember the infinite crisis stuff and it started off like it might be interesting with a fairly minor villain turning out to be more dangerous than people think, thanks to a conspiracy to basically lobotomize him. Then it turned out all the events were caused by an alternate reality superboy punching the main reality repeatedly or something retarded like that. As far as super heroes go All Star Superman is cool, Plastic Man is the best comic nobody ever read and the end of Grant Morrison's run on Animal Man was OK. Virtually everything else is trash.

Seconding the recommendation for Afterlife with Archie. It's amazing. Some other good comics are Hellboy and Axe Cop.
