I'm reading through Chew again and it still holds up. The issues actually go by pretty fast at first until Guillroy starts going crazy with the easter eggs, but reading it in trade sized chunks is pretty satisfying.

Is anyone else reading Revenge? It's horrible, but I love it. A 70's action star old franchise gets updated for the modern day and this old, roided out man is suddenly a start again. He heads down to Mexico for some cutting edge plastic surgery only to have his face cut off his skull and grafted onto a younger man who's being manipulated by his gold digging trophy wife. It's pulpy, gory and totally gratuitous in every way and I kind of love it. It's not a *good* book, but it is a fun one.

Oh yeah, I don't want anything thinking it's anything but garbage. It's just the kind of over the top garbage that appeals to me. There's three issues out, you'll know by issue 2 if you like it.

Princess Ugg is pretty good too. A barbarian princess goes to finishing school. It plays around with a lot of typical tropes you'd see in this kind of story in interesting ways. The only draw back is that I'm not a fan of the faux Scottish accent

Lazarus chat: It was really interesting to see that, despite the alliances of the various families, their Lazaruses (Lazari?) were pretty much their own little club with their own rules and seemed to get along.

Hedrigall posted:I'm getting back into comics in a massive way. Here's a chunk of the stuff I'm really enjoying. Can anyone recommend a good series-starter trade paperback I might like, that I could ask for for Christmas? Keep reading Lazarus and anything else by Greg Rucka. Check out Rucka's Queen & Country about a british spy that's more police procedural than James Bond superspy bullshit. His White Out series about a US marshall in Antartica is a wonderful murder mystery and a semi-prequel. Never, ever watch the movie. Rick Remender has a SCI-Fi book out that's only a few issues deep called Low. Earth is hosed up, people live in giant underwater cities and resources are just about used up. They need to find a new planet or humanity is extinct. Princess Ugg is a fantasy series about a barbarian princess who goes to a princess finishing school and has the typical misadventures you'd expect. Southern Bastards just finished its first arc and should have a trade out, grizzled hardass returns to his small southern, football worshipping town after his father's death and slams head first into corruption. Great, great series by Jason Arron. Check out his previous "things can always get worse" series Scalped about an native american FBI agent who goes under cover in his old reservation.

Big Bad Voodoo Lou posted:Does anyone else read Chew? Because I'm binge-reading it thanks to my public library, and it is awesome. For what is primarily a comedy book, it's super-creative, with really deep, involved continuity, character development, and high stakes as well as great gags. It reminds me of The Venture Bros. that way. Chew is a wonderful, wonderful book that I need to remember to pick up in trades.

Did anyone else read Red One? I have no idea what's going on. Is porn mainstream in 1970's Hollywood? I'm giving it one more issue, but not even Dodson art is going to keep me around if the writing doesn't clear up.

GrandpaPants posted:I just finished reading the first Lazarus HC, and while I liked it, it comes off like a sci-fi/post-apocalyptic Game of Thrones, although I suppose "competing groups vying for control" isn't exactly the most original setup in the world. But having a pair of blonde incest twins in each is just a weird thing to throw in there. That being said, I still enjoyed it and I like the art a lot, but one minor question was why Forever (Vol. 2 minor spoilers) let the guy run off with the bomb-making chemicals without doing a thing to stop or track him. Wasn't she on the rooftop of the shed that was being stolen from? Did the trade have all the back matter text about the different houses and their histories?

GrandpaPants posted:Yeah, it did. I didn't delve too deep into it yet since I kinda wanted the worldbuilding to be a bit more organic and through the story etc, but it's there. There's a lot done through the story, but outside of a prequel series, I dOubt we'd ever learn most of what the text portions were about. I'll be picking up the trades then.

Sanford posted:Someone want to explain the ending of Chew for me? Was he just mad that they made him sad and do some bad stuff? I hate endings that don't wrap stuff up neatly (I am a lazy reader). They killed the woman he loved, his best friend, and millions of people. I don't blame him for holding a grudge.
