 Title: Thorgal Created by Jean van Hamme and Grzegorz Rosinski Publisher: CINEBOOK LTD Brief description: A boy from a doomed civilization from beyond the stars grows up in viking society. They name him Thorgal Aegirsson after their gods. Why I like it: It's an epic viking saga with laser guns (or sun swords as they're called in the comics). The art is pretty kick rear end too. Issue that is a good jumping on point: Child of the Stars collects the origin of Thorgal.

I really wonder how they got Alan Moore of all people to write for Spawn.

rogue wave posted:The second to last issue that came out had a two page spread where there were like several thousand Viltrumites all flying full speed at Invincible, his dad, Eve, Space Racer, Allan the Alien, and his lady friend as various body parts, eyeballs, chunks of brain and other goo literally exploded on contact as they tore through them (these were young halfbreed Viltrumites).They are grossly outnumbered, however. The fight has a lot more to it than that, but yeah that moment happened. Their plan has a few different layers than that and they are busting out solid cameos left and right of older characters. We get to see tether dude again and, back on Earth, what Rudy/Robot/Clone-Rex-Splode has been up to. It's disturbing and badass at the same time. The art is top notch. Their daughter is heart warming, and the former Viltrumites back on Earth all have funny side poo poo going on now too. Have you tried Metabarons?

BioTech posted:Metabarons is awesome. The whole thing feels like Greek mythology in space. Sure it doesn't always make sense, but it is a glorious ride. I very much disagree with the statement that it lacks complex themes, there is a lot to explore. Yeah, a comic where a character has to hunt down the head of the last surviving poet in the galaxy in order to feel love has some themes.

Just read Crossed+100, it was an interesting setting but I kinda expected a little more considering Alan Moore wrote it.

Did Rat Queens go through a soft reboot? When the last arc happened Hannah was in magical prison and her father was executed. Now he's alive and no one even seems to mention that Hannah was arrested and told her friends to gently caress off

Happy Noodle Boy posted:Saga started so good for me but then after 2 volumes or so it now feels completely aimless and just spinning wheels until he figures out what he wants to do with the story. I think Saga made it pretty clear what kind of story it was going to be. It was never meant to be an epic Romeo and Juliet story, but a simply a story about growing up during wartime.

angel opportunity posted:I mentioned wanting to try The Incal several posts up. I read it a few weeks ago and mostly hated it. The art is good, but I feel Moebius is actually kind of overrated (I feel people are going to get mad at me for this.) His skill is there and great, but I don't really care for his sense of aesthetics if that makes sense. The plot, writing, dialogue, pacing–everything other than the art was absolutely awful. The Metabarons feels more like a fluke now than anything. I'm very put off from trying anything from Jodorowski again. The Borgias is really good.

Read a Walk Through Hell and really liked it. When you know it's a story about hell and a child murderer written by Ennis published by an indie label you kinda expect the worst, but this is Ennis at his most restrained. The most horrible stuff is left to the reader's imagination. It also have some neat twists: The gruff agent who breaks the rules would usually be the hero but in this story she unknowingly causes the manifestation of anti-christ. There's also a part where it seems like it's all an elaborate hoax before it's revealed that, nope, this is really hell The art is also good.

I mean that's good news, but at the current pace I will probably die of old age before the series is completed.

Finished reading Sunshine & Roses and I didn't really enjoy the Amy Racecar stories. I didn't really need Lapham to explain the themes of the story over and over again.

Thorgal is a very standard fantasy bit it's also really good and has beautiful art. The premise is that a kid who was born by our ancient forefathers who traveled to space gets orphaned and raised by vikings. Oh, and the norse gods and maybe the christian god are very much real.
