Used this sale as my excuse to finally buy all of Godland, also got the second volume of Bulletproof Coffin and got caught up on Sex Criminals, Trees, Manhattan Projects, Southern Bastards, Wytches and Lazarus. All very good comics. and yeah, Chew is great as well.

Waterhaul posted:I would say The Slavers is probably the best part of the entire run #25-30 though it's hard to suggest just one arc. ( #7-12) Kitchen Irish is as Ennis as can be which can be divisive, same with Barracuda (#31-36) but I like them both. MAX is of course very good all the way through, but I'd say the top-tier stretch of the run is Mother Russia through Barracuda, which is 13-36, exactly 24 issues. throw in the Tyger one shot and that's 25, so if your limit is $25, that's what I'd do.

Waterhaul posted:I was thinking what way to get in all the best stuff but yeah that would work too. It also means you'd get THAT moment from Up is Down and Black is White. pretty sure I know what you're talking about, but that story alone has so many hosed up moments that it could be one of several

onefish posted:Aw man. I didn't know Lapham wrote Crossed. I recently read Stray Bullets and loved/am loving it, so it's a bummer that his take on a decently intriguing premise was botched. David Lapham was doing a lot of work solely for the paycheck in the ten years or so that Stray Bullets was on hiatus, and has admitted as much. between his Avatar stuff and his Punisher Max oneshot, he got on this weird tasteless goreporn/splatterpunk kick for a while, maybe because he realized that Avatar will buy up anything with lots of hideous violence. none of it was any good. that being said, yeah, i think there's good writing under all the gruesomeness in the first Crossed mini. it's basically Ennis trying to out-bleak The Road. but i don't blame anyone for not being into it. Stray Bullets is one of the greatest comics of all time. the most recent issue was outstanding.

WinnebagoWarrior posted:I tend to like Bendis' indie stuff. I read the first trade of Powers and liked it and I am currently reading United States of Murder Inc and I like that too. His mainstream stuff has always left me disappointed, though Ive not read much of it. if you haven't read Torso, you should get on that. Torso and Daredevil are the two best Bendis comics, imo.

Teenage Fansub posted:Are their comics in hi-res yet? That's the only bummer part about going cheap on Jeff Parker's Flash Gordon and Archie v Predator, cause they might look way nicer from Comixology. no  i don't mind too much, but yeah, i tend to hold off on the Dynamite stuff since i can get that on comixology. but at least that helps me narrow it down so i don't blow $50 like i originally had in my shopping cart!Archie vs. Predator #1 is loving awesome by the way. it also includes a Hellboy meets Sabrina the Teenage Witch backup that's just as awesome.

Anime_Otaku posted:What good comics are there on Comixology that are centred on villains? I just got, and read, the first volume of Superior Iron Man and recently binged through the Avengers Academy/Arena/Undercover so I'd be happy with either a title where the villain is just being a wonderfully massive jerk to everyone like SIM or a title that shows the villains aren't just a massive jerk like AU. I've got Irredeemable and a bunch of the Batman graphic novels that are Joker centric. Osborn The Hood Dark Avengers Warren Ellis' Thunderbolts run (collected in two editions as Thunderbolts by Warren Ellis)
