Anyone currently reading comics?

"knights of pendragon " was a decent read - didn't finish it all but it was more adult and quite darker then typical marvel stuff

i would also recommend almost any batman story that has art by " norm breyfogle " - he makes batman look quite angry and scary looking - which to me is the way he should be

also - Batman & Dracula: Red Rain, Batman: Bloodstorm, and Batman: Crimson Mist - all worth a look for gore fans

yet again i feel i must mention "Marshal Law - fear and loathing" , "kingdom of the blind" , and "Marshal Law Takes Manhattan" - i doubt the tv show "the boys" would ever exist if it wasn't for marshal law - homelander is exactly like the main villain of marshal law ( public spirit )​

Marshall Law is super super good. Punisher 2099, also by Pat Mills, is a bit similar but no less fun

Also got a taste for some humor comics and have been reading Dell's Porky Pig and The Beano Library

Bought some newish Dredd books digitally (Origins and Tour Of Duty Book 1) to satiate my craving for the lawman.

I've read Origins years and years ago, remember it being super good and it's just as engaging now. Premise is basically somebody is holding the living remains of Eustace Fargo (the father of the modern Judicial System) hostage and Dredd embarks on a pilgrimage across the Cursed Earth to find him. It's very interesting to see the entirety of Dredd's history retold and added onto (Wagner also cleverly adds things that specifically contradict old lore as an excuse to say that it was a fabrication for the sake of the larger story, which is fairly brilliant). Good read overall! Almost finished it in an afternoon, real page turner

I'm on my way to finish Watchmen actually, I only have two chapters left. And I'm scared for what's gonna happen.

I thought this was amazing the first time I read it and wish the movie had been more in tone with how grim the original comic was. But you can't have it all sadly

Honestly, I forgot about that.

Got the itch to comb through my six volumes of Judge Dredd: Complete Case Files and it's really been rather fun going back and re-reading some of the stories that made me fall in love with the lawman to begin with

A tragedy that left many of us permanently traumatized

Absolutely gobbled up Judge Dredd The Complete Case Files 24

So, so good. The main story (The Pit) is about Dredd going to the worst sector in Mega City 1, 301, affectionately known as the Pit to try and bring back some sense of order in that section as acting sector chief. Really good police drama

I'm more into manga which currently dragon age is what i'm reading there but i do dip into some horror comics like the golden age tales from the crypt, i keep up with beneath the trees nobody sees series, and i'll pick up any horror comic that interests me i like western comics best in the horror genre i suppose.

Great Cliff Robinson art! I only have the first Casefiles and many reprints of Dredd in english and spanish, plus a couple of 2000AD from the nineties with Button Man, Inferno and other things

Man, it's great to see some argentinians artists here! The local edition of The Passenger of U-977 was on my buying list a couple of months ago, i met the writer of this comic a couple of times, and he never dissapointed me with his works.

I keep reading Dick Tracy and yesterday, i ordered the blank variant of the first issue of Swamp Thing 1989, publishing for the first time the original Swamp Thing 88 made by Rick Veitch, Michael Zulli and Vince Locke, it's an unforgettable adventure where Alec Holland meets Jesus.

I initially kind of stopped at volume 6 because I read that they had a hard time figuring out what to do after The Apocalypse War arc. (OZ was however decent from what I recall). But I read that 24 and 25 is when the Case Files starts to get good again. I think I've talked about my Dredd comics stash on here?

Found this old meme i did on 2020 (feels like it was centuries ago). Btw, it's still relevant:

Been in the process of re-reading Elfquest by Wendi and Richard Pini. Really good high fantasy story if that's your cup of tea. Just takes me back to watching The Dark Crystal ad nauseam in my youth on VHS. I have the huge phone book of the first two stories, but Dark Horse are in the process of releasing them in color (which I know is approved by Wendi after the early tpbs made her upset for being too day glow, but they seemed to garish and overbearing when compared to the Marvel Epic reprints or even the Dark Horse phone books)

Been reading many Swamp Thing comics from different runs, and re-reading the issues 149 and 150 of the second volume, who feature Sargon the Sorcerer. I know that many people detest Millar from many reasons, but the man has many good and great works. Here's a good list of some of his best stuff done for the UK Market:

The Best of Millar: The 10 Most Enjoyable Examples of Mark Millar’s Work for UK Publishers, 1989-1997

As in last week’s “worst-of”, the following selections are presented in no order of preference; 1. Tales From Beyond Science: Long Distance Calls, with artist Rian Hughes, from 1992’s 2000AD #776. Just as I could…

I miss my chance to buy the blank variant cover of the first issue of Swamp Thing 1989, but this second number of the long-lost Veitch saga is a must have! Tom Mandrake does a great job drawing like his late 80's-early 90's style, but i miss the Alcalá inks.

Whelp, finally got myself a copy of the Requiem Vampire Knight Omni. Only problem is it looks like it was mauled by a dog before shipping. PRETTY sure I didn't buy it used by looking at my order on Amazon, it's a bit hard to tell. Ended up patching it up with some scotch tape. At least the actual comic itself looks fine
