strangemusic posted:The first issue was pretty I actually enjoyed the first issue. It didn't have much in way of the story or dialogue, but the art is just amazing. I can honestly say that it's the best art I've ever seen in a comic. (Then again I don't read many.)  Click here for the full 1280x1992 image. Source: Joe the Barbarian, Issue 1, page 17

but damned if I haven't enjoyed the rest.

strangemusic posted:I would also highly recommend the Cost of Living. I thought both Cost of living and The Time of your Life were pretty good. Skip on At Death's Door. It's just a stupid excuse to draw the characters in kawaii manga style.

Just picked up issue 5 of Joe the Barbarian and god drat. When Jack's explaining The heroic Iron Knight and we see that in the real world Joe is looking at pictures of his father I teared up. gently caress this whole issue was filled with tear jerkers. Best one I think. I really don't think that Jack is going to make it. One crunch on a mouse from a dog will easily kill it

Edge & Christian posted:No one outside of Rich has confirmed this, but then again no one has talked about the Jill Thompson Delerium OGN announced at this panel either. Is Jill Thompson the one who did the manga version of Death? Edit: Yes she is. Gonna pass on this one then. Shame too cause Delirium was one of my favorite characters.

So I finally managed to finish Scapled. Dear god what an amazingly fun series. From the very beginning you could see that the series was going to be an Odyssey and It did not fail to deliver. Like I'm genuinely upset that I finished it cause now that means it's over. I looked up the writer on Wikipedia and see that now he's doing superhero work and that's the saddest thing I ever heard. Never liked superhero comics and I feel his amazing writing is wasted on that poo poo.

Really glad I caught up to this thread. Brother Lono and The Wake are both pretty drat good. I'm not liking how quickly The Wake seems to be moving or how actiony it got. I guess I was expecting something more like Sphere but it's still very drat good. I remember some one earlier in the thread saying that they couldn't get into 100 Bullets and reading Brother Lono I can see why. I love 100 Bullets and regularly pick up my trades to read it through from start to finish but it's very difficult to follow at times. The way the scenes cut from one to another, or how dialouge boxes continue the conversation while the scene cuts away to something else. A lot of things between characters are left unsaid because they already have a history and people don't normally plot dump for no reason in real conversations. Brother Lono has the same feel. I had to re-read issue one and two a few times to try and follow everything and I still feel like I'm missing something.

God drat if Brother Lono doesn't get better with every issue. I've taken to re-reading through the entire thing when an new issue comes out just to refresh my self. I really should just wait for the trade.

Quantum of Phallus posted:Scalped is really good and it probably helps to read it in one sitting, I was reading the trades as they came out and couldn't remember what the hell happened between each volume as the story sometimes veers off into side-tales. Scalped is amazing. It had it's issues with pacing here and there but it got really tense especially since every one was a rotten person and you're just trying to figure out who's going to come out on top. I haven't gotten around to reading The Other Side but I really should since it seems he's doing superhero work mainly now. Which I get, gotta make a paycheck, but I would really like to see him do some more original stuff.

Dickeye posted:You're in luck, he's doing Southern Bastards at Image soon-ish. It's described as Dukes of Hazzard by the Coen Brothers, and between that and Jason Aaron's name on it I'm super excited. The Other Side is great, too, probably my favorite not-Ennis comic about Vietnam. You just made my day.

sky shark posted:Anyone reading Brother Lono? Hell yes I am. Keeps getting better and better as it goes on. The one thing I can't shake is that I'm actually rooting for Lono now. I'm so used to him in 100 Bullets where he's the most unlikable character but now this is almost like a redemption story for him. I think issue six comes out on the 20th. Such a long rear end wait.

Jedit posted:Unless it's a delay so 2-6 can all come out in good time. I get the suspicion they would have preferred to release issue 1 in January, but had their hand forced by the 25th anniversary. JH Williams is not the fastest brush in the West; it took nearly six years to publish 32 issues of Promethea. If he keeps drawing art like he did in Sandman: Overture then it might drat well be worth the wait. Speaking of which, finally picked up issue 1 and I feel like talking about it. Story wise, I'm a little disappointed to be honest. Despite the fantastic setting of the the first few pages the whole thing of Morpheus sensing a coming danger just felt a little cliched. Like any other wizard in a Tolkein rip off setting sensing a disturbance in the force. Even the ending beat of Morpheus being summoned to someplace with all of his incarnations felt...not cliched but forced. The plot feels very shoehorned in and quick treaded. Granted it is a mini-series and you have a very limited amount of pages so that could be the reason. After all you have to get on with it and fast. About the art. I'm sorry to all you Neil Gaiman fans out there but Sandman: Overture is no longer his comic. Gaiman's writing is taking a back seat to the real star of the comic, Williams' art. I haven't been this amazed with art in a comic book since Joe the Barbarian. Most of the time panels are just pictures to me. They just set the scene, let me know who's talking, and what's going on. Nothing more. Williams has taken this to the next goddamn level. It starts off on an amazing note with the planet and dream fading into being awake and it does not let up. When I noticed the two page splash framed by the Corinthian's teeth where each tooth was a panel I had to start reading from the start and really take in the art like I have never before done on a comic.

Seldom Posts posted:The only thing that makes me question it is that he still seems to have his reflexes and strength. Muscle Memory, man. Finally caught up to the last issue and holy poo poo if that last panel didn't just hit me. Father Manny echoed exactly what I was thinking. Those cartel members have no idea how hosed they are. It feels so strange to be cheering on Lono.

I know most of you are probably going to think I'm retarded for this but I want to say that I'm not really a comic book dude. I pick up titles that seem interesting but for the most part I don't really follow the news or who's who in the industry. There's a few writers that I do know and occasionally google to see if they have anything new out but mainly I don't know who's who. I was flipping through the latest issue of The Wake. One of the panels was a close up of Lee and something about her face caught my eye. The square jaw, the thin line for lips and slight sketch look to her face. "This looks like a Joe the Barbarian." Hell yeah, I recognized Sean Murphy's art and made the connection all my self. I thought that was kind of cool.

I posted this in the GBS thread but that's GBS so maybe you all might understand it a bit better. A big part of Sandman is stories. In the beginning Morpheus doesn't really have any stories of himself. He's just a part of other people's stories from the dude who he meets every 100 years to Barbie in A Game of You. In a lot of the trades and he's only a minor figure in a bigger story. So in that tradition of stories, I would like to see the Sandman movie be an anthology of stories. Three of four shorts that highlight the different parts of Morpheus. One based around his family, one in line with something like the dream vortex, ect, ect. You get the idea.

I'm both looking forward the inevitable rampage in Brother Lono 8 and also dreading it because it's going to be the last issue.
