I always ask my partner to get me a random trade. She always gets me the weirdest poo poo I've never read and it's been a winning formula each time.

I used to get the same effect by buying trades on eBay in lots, which always had one or two I wanted and a few I've never heard of.

Definitely, it's my favorite comic out of any mentioned in this thread. I'd say it gets better and better largely. And like anything I'd say draw your own conclusions, it's all personal taste.

You see people asking about comics in topics like this, and often being dismayed because four people don't like something. It's kind of a roll of the dice whether a particular thread on a particular corner of the internet is positive or negative on something.

While I'm in here, Savage Dragon is brilliant. 207 and 208 in particular just wrapped up one of the most compelling stories that was going on for a good fifteen years or something like that.

That's some dedication. Is Savage Dragon worth reading all the way through?

Will the dog live? Read My Friend Dahmer and find out!

(But seriously, Derf's art style is perfect for this book. Highly recommended.)

ridiculous hyperviolent angry teen scribble notebook comic

And creative!

But no, I don't think there's a deeper metaphor. Or if there is, I missed it too.

What is Big Winner? And is it anything like Wuvable Oaf?

Same. I read the first compendium, which goes through the end of the prison arc at issue 48, and absolutely fell in love. Everything just kept building to bigger and more impactful stories.

Then the second compendium was just a retread. Plus it featured someone talking to the reader in a long monologue to tell us how good of a leader Rick was, an opinion I wholey disagree with.

Well now I want to read A Walk Through Hell. I'm a sucker for a biblical story.

If y'all are looking for a treat, Comixology Unlimited includes a ton Jason's comics.

And if you've never read Jason, I recommend, "Hey Wait...", "I Killed Adolph Hitler," and "The Iron Wagon." (And "The Left Bank Gang," but that left Unlimited for some reason.)

The Boys

And I haven’t finished Giant Days, but I have high hopes.

Honestly, the discussion makes me think of another side. What are people's favorite series like Ex Machina, where it makes the creators career to the point they don't have time to give it a proper ending?

If we’re just gonna be sad about series without endings...

Powers didn’t make BMB’s career, but he’s so fond of big-2 work that I don’t believe it will get a proper ending.

Phoenix by Tezuka also isn’t getting an ending, because he went and died. And it’s easily one of the best comics I’ve ever read.

Is anyone actually following Ed Piskor's Red Room? I think it's only available on Patreon right now, but he has posted dozens of sample panels, and it looks really disturbing and disgusting to me. It seems to be about a secret group that tortures and kills people for fans who pay to watch it live on the Internet, and it looks graphic and gross.

I loved his Hip Hop Family Tree series with all my heart, didn't love X-Men: Grand Design as much as I hoped to (I ended up selling the three volumes), but Red Room looks like something I'd absolutely hate. Is there anything redeeming about it? Piskor seems to have embraced the term "Outlaw Comix," but is that just shorthand for independent comics for mature readers that are usually horror-oriented and gory?

I watched at least a half dozen indy torture porn movie with the same story back in the 2000s.
