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.

New list is up! Looks like I'm back to it this week after a couple weeks of not much for me.

Blood Brothers Mother #3 - I've really been enjoying DSTLRY's stuff, this is no exception. I also happen to like westerns, so this one is a must get.

Geiger #10 - Not gonna lie I'm behind, but I'll catch up!

Lucky Devils #1 - This looks interesting, I'll check it out. Two demons stage a revolution in hell and are using two humans to do it (somehow.)

Cruel Kingdom #1 - Cruel Univer- I mean Cruel Kingdom is the new EC Fantasy reboot. I'm going to buy it just so EC can afford a thesaurus! (I was getting it anyway but c'mon surely there are other adjectives out there lol.)

That's it for me! What're you getting this week?

Blood Brothers Mother #3 - I think this is the final issue? DSTLRY generally does 3 issue arcs.

Cruel Kingdom #1 - Re-branding Cruel Universe as a fantasy book.

Geiger #10 - New story arc starts here, integrating Junkyard Joe into the Geiger universe.

Napalm Lullaby #8

Ultimate Black Panther #12 - Black Panther vs. Moon Knight!

Uncanny X-Men #8 - Wrapping up thr assault on the mansion.

Oh it's a rebranding? I thought they were just continuing both their science and fantasy books as Cruel X.

No, Cruel Universe ended at #5, replaced by Cruel Kingdom which is also a 5 issue run. Not sure what happens at the end there though!

Ah gotcha, I was assuming they would be alternating between Cruel Science-Fiction and Cruel Fantasy both.
