There's a comic about a teacher who leaves his baby in a hot car. I wanna say it was by Dash Shaw and it was black and white. Anyone know what I'm talking about? I thought I read it online too, if that's any help.

Sanford posted:On a similar note, if anyone can point me at any Stormwatch volumes that are worth reading, particularly leading directly into the Ellis run on Authority, that would be cool and good. Thanks. The Ellis issues of Stormwatch and Aliens vs. Wildstorm or whatever the title of that was. Anything else is not going to be so great. There's 5 trades of SW by Ellis that collects everything.

obi_ant posted:Is Paper Girls any good? Also, I'm wondering about Black Science, but it seems vol. 2 is sold out for some weird reason. Black Science is fantastic, but I love anything Remender does. Vol 2 is probably out because the series is about to end and they'll probably be putting out a new printing soon.

FAT BATMAN posted:It occurred to me today that by adulthood, Peter Parker should be an accomplished professional photographer with a secret album he can’t show anyone but trusted friends; pictures (that don’t star Spidey) of NYC and life in NYC from angles and perspectives that would difficult/impossible without Spidey powers, like from the top of a skyscraper, or looking straight down off the side of a glass panel building, or a picture of a public basketball court from on top of a hoop. This sounds amazing. The closest I could think of similarly was the already mentioned book of Spidey photos, "Webs." There was a cover for Web of Spider-Man that was one of the first photo covers- it had an actor in a Spidey costume, an early version of the cosplay covers Marvel has been running.

sliami posted:I just read Breaking Glass and it was a banger. I can't stop thinking about Steve Pugh's work for it. Speaking of, do you guys know any other good books with him/artists on his tier? Pugh did a long run at the end of Animal Man, I fell in love with his work there. He also did the Saint of Killers story in Preacher (vol 4 of the paperbacks) that was also brilliant. In addition to the previously mentioned Flintstones (which was great), he also has some work in Doom Patrol, 2020 Visions, Hellblazer, and Hitman. I also wanna say he has credits on a recent Harley Quinn book, but I dunno if it is out yet or not.

Nyeehg posted:I'm a fan of Damian Wayne and read a lot of stuff with him before i just fell out of comics to deal with life. Now that i have time I'm not sure what to read next(if anything). He's been cool in DCeased (I forget which book- there was a new issue this week). The latest Teen Titans run hasn't been bad. Damian being a huge jerk while the rest of the team is being adorable is more entertaining than I would have guessed.

Rebirth has been going since 2016 and it's pretty good. Tom King's Batman started in rebirth and I loved his run, probably my favorite Batman since Grant Morrison's run. Flash was also enjoyable. e: looking over the wiki for Rebirth, there were a lot of good titles: Suicide Squad, Justice League of America, Deathstroke, New Superman, Super Sons are all worth a read.

Waltzing Along posted:I read The Boys and thought it was fantastic. Probably the best comic series I've ever read. I grabbed the first volume of Preacher as that seemed like a natural spot to go next. Ennis is kinda hit or miss with a lot of people. I love him, and would recommend his Punisher Max run. His 616 Punisher run and his Hitman book at DC are good and similar in theme to The Boys: taking the piss out of superheroes; but they aren't as polished as The Boys.

Hulk IS ridiculously good and hits that horror vibe you're looking for as well. You should also check out The Black Coin for more horror- single issue stories from a variety of creators, including Zdarsky. Zdarsky also has a great Daredevil run going on, and wrote a fantastic issue of Crossover (definitely read Crossover).

Desert Bus posted:I'm looking for kid friendly comics for an 8 year old girl who isn't super into reading but also loves picture books. I'm thinking the Terry Pratchett Discworld graphic novels or similar, but would love some recommendations. Christmas is coming up fast. Mouse Guard is all about little mice knights, it's pretty cool but it's been a while since I read any so I dunno how appropriate for an 8 year old it would be. I got a book called Cat Ninja for my nephews, but it's pretty cutsey, maybe a little too cute for an 8 year old. Goodbye Chunky Rice by Craig Thompson might be good. James Kochalka also makes some good kids style books, Pinky and Stinky is the one I own. e: I'm pretty sure there are some Redwall comics out there, but can't say for sure, I lost interest in Redwall back in high school, so the comics never popped up on my radar.

If your taste is as poo poo as mine, you might enjoy Crossed. Truly depraved stuff, but if you like Ennis and zombies, you might get some enjoyment out of it. David Lapham's run was good as well.

Asterios Polyp? e: looking over my indie shelf for stuff dealing with identity/perception, metafiction, cool cosmic concepts, "Morrisonish" books: Superspy and Revolver by Kindt Once and Future by Kieron Gillen is similar to Dept of Truth, only more action Alex + Ada by Luna and Vaughn Memetic by Tynion Miracleman by The Original Writer (lol) if you want a great read, but a bit of a challenge, check out One Soul by Ray Fawkes.

Cornwind Evil posted:Looking for something new to read. I will take anything. I have a slight preference for lesser known but still good comic book runs like say, Jason Aaron's Avengers run (I have no idea if it was good, I'm just using it as an example of what I'd prefer as opposed to say, something in the vein of Walt Simonson's Thor run, which is quite well known), but as said, I will take any recommendation, any genre, anything. You might recommend stuff I've read before, that's fine, you can't read my mind and reading history. Just make it clear if you're recommending something bad just so I can see how bad it is.

The first one was decent, the second and third are more of what I expected from Mark Millar. The art is consistently nice. I think it's about to conclude soon.

Rental Sting posted:Just finished King, Gerad, and Shaner's Strange Adventures, really enjoyed the parts with Mister Terrific and would like to read more stuff with the character but it seems he's never had a solo book. Is there a run of JSA or something else where Mister Terrific is used to good effect? The Terrifics was a fun read. Lighter in tone than Strange Adventures, but it's solid stories featuring Mr Terrific, Plastic Man, and Metamorpho. I do remember Mr Terrific being a badass any time he was in Geoff John's Justice Society of America series, but I can't remember any specific run. Rental Sting posted:I killed this thread, I apologize. But I'm going to try again: are there any good non-Man Without Fear 90s Daredevil runs or miniseries? Trying to go all in on the character and it seems like the received wisdom is to skip from Nocenti's run to Bendis, but surely some good DD stories were written in the 90s, so what are they? Chichester and Weeks had some decent issues, but nothing too fantastic. I mostly read those issues for Week's art.
