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.

I recently gotten back into reading comics and mostly I am reading series that have ended. I am wondering what I can subscribe to, while supporting my local shop, that is currently running and you think will be great when looked back on.

If you like specific IP (eg Star Trek, Witcher, whatever), publishers like IDW, Dark Horse, and Dynamite always have good stuff. Image probably has a few good things; I’ve heard nice stuff about W0rldtr33 as well as Department of Truth and Killadelphia (which were both up for Eisners). You can look at recent industry awards like the Eisners to get a sense for books the industry thinks are worth purchasing.
