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.

2025 is here, and for comic book fans, that means a whole new year of major releases from publishers of all types. And it’s shaping up to be a huge one for the industry. Marvel will soon be launching the One World Under Doom crossover and expanding its massively popular Ultimate Universe line. Not to be outdone, DC will be adding several books to its Absolute Universe line and kicking off the sequel to the iconic Batman: Hush storyline. And there’s plenty to look forward to from smaller publishers as well, including Image Comics’ Bug Wars, Dark Horse’s Bowling With Corpses, and IDW’s Star Trek: Lore War crossover.

They are:

  • One World Under Doom
  • Batman: Hush 2
  • Mike Mignola’s Bowling with Corpses
  • The Ultimate Universe Expands
  • The Return of Vertigo
  • Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
  • Deadpool/Wolverine
  • The Absolute Universe: Wave 2
  • Bug Wars
  • Star Wars: Legacy of Vader
  • New Gods
  • You Must Take Part in Revolution
  • The Future of Venom and Carnage
  • Zatanna
  • Star Trek: Lore War
  • The Amazing Spider-Man Relaunch
  • Invincible: Battle Beast
  • More DC Compact Comics
  • Death of Copra

Always up for some Ram V, so New Gods is on my watchlist, Al Ewing will likely tempt me into trying Venom and Mike Mignola writing and drawing a comic? Count me in!

Other than that, the return if Vertigo is intriguing but its success was a product of the right people assembling at the right time and the comic world has evolved since. However, we'll see... The DC Compact range has been good so far, I have bought a few as presents. I'd rather the creators got the rights back to V For Vendetta but it's an important comic and I will likely buy one or two.

Everything else? I'll see what the reviews are like.
