I haven't read Alex + Ada but I liked The Sword by the Luna Brothers. Their art is a bit barebones and simple but I like it. I've never read any of their other stuff though. I recently checked out the first issue of God Hates Astronauts and have no clue what I even read. It's basically pure insanity. I don't even really know if I liked it. I can definitely recommend Velvet, Sex Criminal, Manhattan Projects, and The Fade Out. All quality books. The Fuse is pretty good too, but I'm usually a fan of most of Johnston's stuff.

I read the first few issues of Saga and didn't care for it all. The only thing I liked was the art but with a story and characters I didn't care one bit about that's not enough. As much as I liked Y and Ex Machina I was really surprised to be completely disengaged with a BKV book but I was.

The Dying and the Dead was so great. Hickman can apparently do no wrong. And that Ryan Bodenheim art was spectacular.

I answered you in the other thread, it's Revival from Image. It's a good book and I definitely recommend checking it out. Issue 28 just came out so there's not a huge backlog to get through.

It's a different take on the whole undead thing. Also Mike Norton's art is really good and definitely fits the small town setting of the story.

I enjoyed Kaptara as well. Chip Zdarsky is the best. Another new book I picked up this week was The Infinite Loop. The artwork in it is outstanding. Very stylish. Probably not a style for everyone but man I loved it.

God Hates Astronauts is a beautiful and completely batshit insane book. I've read and loved every issue since I was introduced to it months ago but I have no idea what I've read at all. I just know it's completely off the rails in a way that makes me smile and that's enough.

Luchacabra posted:Anybody pick up that Dark Horse King Tiger book today? It's apparently a re-imagining of a Worlds Greatest Comics title I never heard of, but it's by Stradley and Wheatley, and I really loved their work on the various Star Wars titles. Is that the same team that did the backup stories of King Tiger in Blackout? I really liked those and I'd never heard of the character. EDIT: Just looked it up, definitely the same team continuing that story. I'll definitely pick it up because I really dug that backup story. If you get the issue and like it I'd recommend grabbing the Blackout mini for the backup story, and because Blackout was a really neat and fun concept itself. I wouldn't mind both titles getting an ongoing. X-O fucked around with this message at 19:33 on Aug 12, 2015 |

I really enjoyed his Tech Jacket and Super Dinosaur. And I liked Invincible when I read it, but I apparently lost track of it before it went completely off the rails. Same with Walking Dead. Seems like maybe his lighter fare is a bit better than his dark hyper violent stuff.

Not really, I mean it is technically, but most people use indie as a catchall for creator owned these days. Valiant is not creator owned.

God Hates Astronauts is one of the weirdest craziest dumbest no sense making comics I've ever read. And I loved every page of it. It is the stupidest thing you will likely ever read, and I say that completely as a positive.

His Valiant stuff is amazing. I really like Past Aways too. He and Venditti are amazing at Valiant and apparently suck at DC. Maybe the problem wasn't with them. Maybe they're just better when not writing within a big company's constraints and given freedom to go where they want with a story.

The Woods, Letter 44, The Sixth Gun, Wasteland, and Revival are my top picks for shows I want to see based on comics. I'm not sure anyone would watch Wasteland though.

If you would like to read a book where Teddy Roosevelt is basically Batman and has to put together a team that includes Harry Houdini, Thomas Edison, Annie Oakley, Jack Johnson, and Monk Eastman in order to race to Cuba and stop an Alien Invasion during the Spanish-American War then Rough Riders from Aftershcock Comics is the book for you. First issue came out this week and it was pretty drat good.

First issue of Joyride by Jackson Lanzing and Colin Kelly with art by Marcus To was really good. It's only a mini but I already want it to be a monthly. It's about a future Earth that's closed off from the rest of the galaxy by a giant metal dome and three characters that break out and steal an alien ship to tour the galaxy that has been hidden from them. It's fun and the art is great. Pick it up.

I think a lot people, myself included, liked Incorruptible more than Irredeemable. I love both but Incorruptible is definitely the stronger series and I wish it were still running right now.

I see it has the same artist from Super Zero. I hope that doesn't mean that comic is done. I thought it was just wrapping up an arc I'd be bummed if it was actually cancelled.

I've decided to change the way I buy ongoing indie books from now on. Unless it's a creative team I know can crank something out on time, or it's specifically solicited mini I'm not going to get into any new books only to have them hit ridiculous delays. As much as I like Hickman I'm not going to read Black Monday Murders unless it keeps a decent schedule for several issues. The last Hickman book I got into and loved was delayed into who knows when. This goes for books by other writers as well. I'm just tired of liking new books and then having to wait months between issues. I'll either buy them in collections later or buy singles when an arc is finished.

I wish Francavilla would stop wasting time with other things and get to work on Afterlife with Archie. Also is there anyone that cares even a little bit about Vampirella? Or that ever did in the first place? I'd imagine those that did would be the types that are not down for a comic about the character in that drawing.

site posted:So i stumbled into Hickman's the Manhattan projects while looking for cyberpunk stuff and it wasn't at all what i was looking for but it interested me anyways and wow this poo poo really kinda just cuts off and loses the plot in the last couple volumes huh Hickman has said it's the one thing he's written where he didn't plan anything in advance, he just wrote whatever he felt like issue by issue only thinking about the issue he was writing just to see where the hell it went. Basically it's just a book where he does crazy poo poo for fun.

So I don't think I've ever read a Youngblood comic, but the art style on the new one that starts this week is a style that caught my eye. It's pretty much the opposite of what Youngblood has looked like in the past from my experience of only looking at bad Liefeld covers. Is the writer any good? I don't think I've ever read anything by Chad Bowers.
