Comic Books / Graphic Novels thread

For some reason Dredd Case Files 7 is hard to find so I got America to placate my Mega City needs. 

Just read Dark Victory. How it take me this long to discover this beauty? The subtle characterization and dynamic between Batman, Robin and Alfred is really special.

Tim Sale is a legend.

Has anyone noticed that Marvel has pretty much desexualized every female character now, no one shows any skin, all women wear pants now, while DC still keeps some sexiness for female characters like Power Girl? I'm not saying it makes much of a difference, women can be taken seriously while being sexy, or not. But having the corporate conglomerate make that decision for you strikes me as a bit too PC, especially if it's my money I'm spending.

just started this

big morrison fan but i don't like his approach here. 

finished this

liked it. 

been out of the loop on comics lately, stopped buying new issues a few months ago and just buy trades now so i'm behind on everything.

Wytches is good. Think I'll tackle the first Vision trade that just released, love me some Vision.

That Wonder Woman - Earth One book was awful.

Vision is excellent though.

If you want a really different take on the DC Trinity, I'd recommend Ted McKeever's 3 graphic novels on the heroes:

Batman Nosferatu

Superman Metropolis

Wonder Woman Blue Amazon

all tributes to classic black and white films

Wytches looks really interesting, probably gonna have to look into that title when I get through my current stack of things to read...

shouldn't have started collecting the DK3 issues, waste of time and money. I dont know why I thought a Dark Knight 3 without Miller being given full control would be interesteng. And Kubert's art ugh, so bland. At least it's only 4€ a month

Yep that's next on my list.

I recently picked up the first Trees TP and that's cool too.

I've been waiting for this one for quite a while, rumored to exist all the way back when Jane Foster took over, then kinda derailed by Secret Wars. The redemption story, where has Odinson been, what happened to the Ultimate version of Mjolnir? I'm hoping Beta Ray Bill comes into play again, that will make at least 3 enchanted Asgardian hammers at once in the 616 universe. Seems like Thor's new look will cross over into his next movie as well.

picked up kid koala's nufonia must fall , used, with cd.

Wytches,  pretty deadly, the beauty, goddamned, prophet earth war, all on my horizon from image.  

Nice to see the return of jupiters legacy as well

I liked Pretty Deadly. Had an interesting mythos in it.

I'm just starting it now.

One other I really enjoyed is empty zone

Picked up Wytches and Gotham Central Vol. 4, the other day... Kinda bummed that it's the last volume of Gotham Central, fantastic series, very well written, but then again it's Greg Rucka and Ed Brubaker.

Plowed through Deadly Class Vol 1. at the library and really enjoyed it. There's a really great acid scene in it.

Based in the 80s, it's about a 14 year old homeless kid who gets recruited by a high school for assassins.

Great comic^

Definitely carried by the artists imo.

Holy crap, it's an 80s toy fuck fest

Dude, I finished Deadly Class Vol 4 yesterday and it's incredible. Ultra gritty, great story and the art is amazing.

I just bought vol. 4 too, but haven't read it yet. Good to hear to hear though.

RIP Steve Dillon
