floatingslowly · 09.03.2008, 07:35 PM

all my stuff is old.

my most recent acquisition was found via electronic interweb fingers. is very nice.

<-- this smilie weighs 17.6 MB on disk (18,414,399 bytes).

!@#$%! · 09.03.2008, 08:54 PM

this is not 100% "current" but i just read vol 1 of FABLES and it was funny-- i did enjoy it

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fables_(Vertigo)

(better not read that thing or it will ruin some of the funny surprises).

(wikipedia sez 2002).

hm if you wanna read some heavy shit i've been looking @ virgin comics' "buddha" which is being published right now.

http://www.virgincomics.com/root_Buddha/Buddha.aspx

yeah, deepak chopra is involved in it, which is a turnoff, but the comic is alright.

flotz, don't click on the linx, they might be PHISHING MAAAAAAN!!!!!

Everyneurotic · 09.03.2008, 09:04 PM

too late, i already clicked on the link, demanded that i put my bank acount and pin numbers as my password (which i did) and then asked me about my cock meassurement (which i put a lenght that wasn't true, i actually put a smaller number.)

thanks for the suggestions, i'll look for those. and thank you floatzy-poo!!

!@#$%! · 09.03.2008, 09:37 PM

i recently read watchmen, which was reissued, and i wasn't as impressed as the fans. it was like, meh.

both preacher and transmetropolitan however are 90s comics & are AWESOME. hard fucking core!

and the "welcome back frank" punisher book written by garth ennis was fun too-- pure ultraviolence. in terms of story however i prefer the 2 i mentioned above. plus, who can come up with a cooler name than spider jerusalem?

Everyneurotic · 09.03.2008, 10:27 PM

watchmen is waiting in my p.o. box actually.

█████████ · 09.04.2008, 01:32 AM

Wow, really?!? Not saying people have to like it or anything, just surprised you weren't that impressed. I dunno, maybe it's been praised so much by now that someone reading it for the first time is gonna expect Sartre or something. At the end of the day it is just a comic book I suppose. Albeit (IMO) a pretty damned impressive one.

Rorschach though. If ever a character needed his own series its him.

Toilet & Bowels · 09.04.2008, 04:29 AM

i was a bit underwhelmed by watchmen too.

superfuckers is a good current comic

█████████ · 09.04.2008, 07:08 AM

i'm not a great gamer, but apparently there's going to be released a videogame of nikopol next week.
i'll have to check it, it's one of my favourite bd's. anyone likes nikopol?

Everyneurotic · 09.04.2008, 07:32 PM

cheers on the recommendations.

by the way, anyone read whedon's x-men?

chairman of the bored · 09.04.2008, 09:30 PM

hmm...one of my friends claimed watchmen was "the hamlet of comic books"...and i still enjoyed it...regardless of the overreaching hyperbole...ive just fallen in love with this graphic novel business in the past year, so ive got a massive list to catch up on...jimmy corrigan is next

Norma J · 09.05.2008, 02:54 AM

The Secret has some great illustrations. quite amazing ink drawings. it's on Dark Horse.

king_buzzo · 09.05.2008, 10:59 AM

i have the t-shirt he's wearing on right now.

Comics are really coming back in style, I've been a comic addict as of late. Check out a compliation book called "America's best Comics of 2007", it's edited by Chris Ware, a genius cartoonist and has plenty of great clips in it. Other than that check out:

-The Walking Dead (If you like zombies)
-Ivan Brunetti - Schizo
-Chris Ware - Quimby the Mouse
-Harvey Peckar - American Splendor (embraces day-to-day life)
-Stuff by Robert Crumb (Also embraces day-to-day life)
-Alison Bechdel (Autobiographical stories)

k-krack · 09.06.2008, 02:07 AM

Amazing Spider-Man has had some pretty awesome story-arcs for the past little while, New Ways to Die is fucking awesome thus far, and Kraven's First Hunt was rad, I'm psyched to see where that goes.
Venom: Dark Origin is off to an awesome start, as well, really intense and has some sweet emotional bits...

And the whole Secret Invasion in the Marvel Universe is fucking righteous, so stoked on it. There's a ton of Secret Invasion tie-ins, just go to yr store and grab some!

leakyheadboy · 09.06.2008, 05:10 AM

Sturgeon White Moss is really awesome as are Dancing Eye and Obnivorious

reginald · 09.06.2008, 09:44 AM

There's a ton of comics here, old and new...

This one never goes out of style !

Oh my...this is SO WRONG !!! LOL...

09.06.2008, 09:47 AM

I followed the hype and my copy of watchmen arrived today (half- destroyed, damn amazon)
Ive read the first 25 or somewhat pages and instantly fallen in love with it NY presnetation (which isnt that hard for me to fall in love with it) and after the quote of bob dylan I was in love. looking forward to read more of it
