Monster by Barry Windsor-Smith won a bunch of Eisners and I just want to recommend it. It's not an easy read at points, and can be very heart wrenching, but it is one of the best graphic novels I have read this year and is really worth checking out.

Oh the Eisners finally happened? I want to see who won best manga. It better be Chainsaw Man

Edit: it went to Junji Ito. Boo! Boo I say! He won last year too! Give other people a chance!

Also Lore Olympus won best webcomic, which is kind of funny given SA’s general feelings on it

Clark Kent’s an American citizen

The FBI would be the ones trying to murder him

Eh, a few posts down he posts a picture of the full shelf and he has two Marvel Mangaverse trades on it. That alone almost cancels out all the good.

We all own some real stinkers. This just shows he’s legit

Is Marvel over shipping again I find it really hard to believe there's literally only two DC comics that comic book shops are ordering more copies of than Moon Knight #13.

I absolutely can believe it, almost everything I’ve heard of coming from DC at the moment seems very uninspired

Despite making a snide comment about when I first saw it recommended here (to whoever recommended it, sorry), I’ve been listening to Mangasplaining, a podcast largely about making Chip Zdarsky read manga. It’s interesting, but it could be edited to be half the length.

I’ve learned two things: Chip Zdarsky is a pen name and not his real name and his new comic, Public Domain, may have, at least in part, been inspired by the manga Monthly Girls’ Nozaki-kun. He mentioned in that episode that it had brought up feelings of wanting to make a comic about comics

Dunno if you're caught up yet, but all of the "Season 3" (currently running) episodes have been much shorter, to the fact that they're regularly doing 2 books an ep and still coming in around 75-90 a lot of the time.

I’m at the end of season one, that’s great to hear

Comics sales were generally up in 2021. Superhero comics specifically only had modest growth, but that’s still growth

What spooky comics are people reading for the season?



Elliot Kalan’s Maniac of New York seems like it would be a good fit if you like slashers

Rereading GMo's New X-Men run and I somehow forgot that they turned Magneto into a full blown Nazi. I now remember that there was some controversy over it but re-reading it now and it isn't even subtle.

Magneto’s always teetered on being fash, it was only a matter of time before someone made him one outright
