i got very tired of Saga in general around the third trade. the art's consistently fantastic but it's some pretty weak writing by BKV standards.

zoux posted:AV Club did it's best of the year list and they're mostly indies naturally. Are all these worth reading, I hadn't heard of a surprising number of them. i can vouch for Autumnlands (don't know if it's #1 good, but it's very good), Southern Bastards, the Fade Out (probably my pick for #1), Island, Hellboy in Hell, and i only read the first issue of Bitch Planet but it was pretty good. one i'd like to see get more love is We Can Never Go Home from Black Mask, really great mix of crime comic, superhero, and teen romance that just wrapped up its first mini. probably my #2 comic of the year.

zoux posted:What's the hook for Fade Out beyond "Bru/Phillips noir"? it's specifically Bru and Phillips giving their take on James Ellroy, plus the columns on old hollywood scandals in the backpages are awesome.

pugnax posted:No lovecrafty stuff yet, but kiddly-diddling cults look like a distinct possibility. IIRC Bru hinted that the story is something they've been wanting to do for a very long time and that it's big, so who knows where it's going to go. They've got that sweet contract gig over at Image, so it could run for 50 issues if they have that much story. actually the next issue is gonna be the last one

The Moore issues of Crossed +100 are very well done, but as to whether they're less horrific, good god no. The last issue of his storyline is nightmare inducing.

site posted:So I've been trying to read Alan Moore's run on Supreme and while i can recognize what he's doing I just find it boring to the point that I've been sitting on it for like three weeks now and I haven't even made it halfway through yet. I'm blaming this on not being a Superman reader and especially on not having read any golden/silver age stuff. Is this an acceptable excuse or am I not a true comic fan? I kinda felt the same way about it to be honest. It's certainly not a bad comic, but it wasn't really for me. At a certain point with that kind of stuff it's like "ok maybe wrap up all this self-referentiality and tell an actual story"

I have no problem with the sex but that whole arc about the novel that brings the two lead characters together was so dumb I jumped ship on the book

The_Other posted:I also read Daniel Johnson's Do A Powerbomb on my library's hoopla app and I LOVED it! I have to admit while I saw it keep getting recommended in this and other threads I didn't really know what to expect. After I checked it out it sat on my smartphone for a few days until one night when I started to read it, only meaning to read an issue or two. I ended up devouring the whole thing in one night and I have already order the physical trade. my tattoo artist recommended this to me this past weekend, thanks for the tipoff that it's on Hoopla, Hoopla's comics collection remains insane
