Narzack posted:I think I might have read Ennis' Hellblazer. Does he go to hell and meet Reagan or something like that? maybe just because of primacy, but it's my favorite ennis thing outside of the boys. there is an arch where he voodoo trips through the dark heart of america with a zombie jfk

the first two sandman archs have some kitchy charm, but gaiman doesn't really get to speed as a writer until seasons of mist/a game of you. also, while the show has some questionable alterations and substitutions, it is surprisingly faithful and most of the questionable edits change things that weren't great to begin with. like, if you want to just watch the show and not read the comics beforehand, you're not going to loose out on a ton, it isn't like going to the watchmen and being like, where's the squid yo? dc did a remaster, redid the colors and separations and rescanned the art for the issue dick giordano inked in a day, that was back in the early 00s. these editions look a lot better, so if you're shopping used, try to avoid the collections from the 90s

Serephina posted:The squid was fine, if a bit out of left field, and removing it for the movie was a solid improvement. I just view it as Alan Moore running off-leash for a bit. lol. the squid is the impetus for the whole book. vietch killed the comedian because the comedian saw the squid factory. no squid = no reason for anything else to have happened afterwards

deep dish peat moss posted:I want to practice lettering. Are there any comics or pages that have notably bad (or not well liked) lettering that I could re-do as a project? dame darcy's lettering is borderline unreadable but it's hard to call it bad when it fits everything else in her books. also dame darcy comics are probably not really what people think of when they think of comic books or comic book lettering

just finished twig and am totally in love with the art. that heavy metal/sam keith vibe really did it for me. did strahm do anything else good? is there anything else he did that beaulieu colored?

you've already read everything! ann nocenti's run on kid eternity was fun and slightly stonerosophical. milligan's enigma was really good, so was rogan gosh. if you want something provocative that isn't british vertigo, the 'nam is really good and, given the circumstances of its publication, nowhere near as jingoistic as you'd expect.

we have largely identical tastes in comic books. so I'm just going to post stuff I read and really liked https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Journey:_The_Adventures_of_Wolverine_MacAlistaire have you read heavy metal? it can be hit or miss but it's a big rear end anthology so there's statistically something that will hit. there's also 45 years of it, so if you want to watch the progression of trends in continental comic books and trends in products marketed towards people who buy heavy metal, it's great for that. I remember liking foligatto quote:Comics writer Grant Morrison became editor in chief beginning with the April 2016 issue of the magazine.[17] They now serve as creative advisor. garth ennis has written a ton of war stories under various titles. I like those, they're extremely ennis and in a grounded real world historical setting the goofy edginess and parody flip into a really satisfying melodrama

magic cactus posted:I'll check all this out, do you have a suggestion where to start with ennis war story stuff? the adventure's in the rifle brigade books are over the top comedic fun. everything else is, pick one, war stories condors kinda stands out to me, as does battlefields night witches. there's at least one more series and this is over 3 or 4 publishers. there are volumes and volumes of the stuff, the earlier stuff reads a little more comic booky whereas the later stuff is a little more of that new cinematic kinda comic booky. it's all good

can you maybe sneak in something about theatre or one of those books where the hero feels free to be themselves when they're suited up? like, a real clandestine nod to the kid that it's o.k. to be themselves which will slip under the radar? e: wow, I was about that age when I read the enigma, but my parents tended to be cool

I was big into sandman at that age. I would contend that neil gaiman is an fantastic young adult fiction writer even when he's trying to write adult stuff. the 90s were edgier times though so who knows

the movie is not so good iir. the book is, the charles vess illustrations are very nice. but unless I'm missing something it's not a book about film making or theater

man, I bet there's some really obvious e.c. horror masterpiece about an actor who researches his role as a murderer by becoming a mmmmurrrderrerrrr ...the facts in the case of mrs. finch. that's the neil gaiman comic about theatre troops, but I can't remember how age appropriate it is

kinda, the second character introduced is a serial rapist and the second or third thing that happens in the book is jail rape. but there are dolphins. like, the end is that big battle at the end of the hobbit except instead of hobbits and eagles it's hippies and dolphins. terry southern wrote a bunch of silly hippy conspiracy novels, at least two got made into movies. with pynchon bleeding edge (9/11 conspiracy) and vineland (60s cointelpro -> 80s fascism conspiracy) would be my recommendations. inherent vice left me kinda flat, but it is a straight up detective novel.... ....there is dirk gentlys holistic detective agency. stanislaw lem's peace on earth might hit the spot, it's a mystery with intrigues playing out in a scifi future paranoia

I found a year or two of an early run at a thrift sale and enjoyed it. a lot of that enjoyment was "lol 80s" nostalagia looking at the angular shoulderpadded women's fashions and everyone smoking. wagner's a pretty good writer through, sandman mystery theater held up, if you want detectivey stuff grendel probably won't disappoint

ann nocenti's kid eternity run is good. there's no emphasis on women folk having agency but thinking back I can't really think of anyone really having agency
