A place to discuss comic books of all types, from old to new, Big 2 to indie, and everything in between.

Floppies, graphic novels, compilations, omnibusses (omnibusi?) are all fair game.

There is only one rule:*

Comic Books is a no judgement zone.

You can talk all you want about how Rob Liefeld is trash, Bob Kane is an asshole, or Frank Miller and Dave Sim’s politics have made them toxic, that’s all good.

If, however, another user is LEGITIMATELY a fan of something you don’t like, that does NOT make them a lesser person. Attack the art for being bad, not the person for being a fan of bad art.

* I lied. There are TWO rules... No piracy. Cover shots? That's good. Interior pages, in moderation? Sure. Full books? Links to pirate sites? That's how we get things shut down. :(

I'm not saying it's been a problem, because it hasn't been.

What is your favorite comic, that one you've read over and over again that has a special place in your heart?

Mine would be Peter Milligan and Mike Allred's X-Force/X-Statix. I love how wacky and over the top the story is, and I can't help but fall in love with the characters despite them being total scumbags. And of course, I can never get enough of Mike Allred's amazing pop art style brought to life by Laura Allred's colors. X-Force 124, the Darwyn Cooke fill-in issue that tells Edie Sawyer's origin story, is up there for one of the best single issues I've ever read.

Alan Ford is my favourite comic of all time, hands down. The story, the characters, everything is absolutely fantastic. My dad has a massive collection which I used to read throughout my childhood. We're still buying re-releases of old #s we missed but the new stories are really bad.

I used to love Mickey Mouse (published by Edmont) when I was a child. Always had 5-6 genuinely great stories + interesting puzzles like Sudoku at the end. Still trying to find it in digital form, but in the meantime I'm reading old Mickey Mouse comicbooks from the 70s and 80s.

Honorable mentions: Zagor (I LOVE Chico's stories!), manga (my favourite being Death Note), Garfield & Hagar the Horrible...
