Message: [QUOTE="Spyrone, post: 209763, member: 535917"] My favorites are: 1. Dorohedoro Q Hayashida's art is gorgeous grotesqerie at it's finest, and plot-wise it's one of the few things that went exactly where I wanted it to and beyond. It's like the plot of the Bible in reverse. It's also really funny. I love it. 2. I Am A Hero One of my favorite zombie things in general. Gory as hell and has an art style that is super-realistic, making the gore that much more impacting. Plus, the story is filled with great satire, like all good zombie things should be. 3. Uzumaki My personal favorite example of cosmic horror in manga. It's awesome, and has some beautiful and actually how the outside world might react if a little town went into a (literal) crazy downward spiral of destruction. 4. Akira My favorite cyberpunk manga. Beautiful art and a compelling setting that mixes youth rebellion, '70s style, cyberpunk oppression, and a bit of cosmic horror with some high-grade amphetamine capsules and binges it until Neo-Tokyo explodes. 5. Blame! My favorite manga where I can barely understand the plot, and it still kills it front to back. Or would that be back to front? Anyways, it does a really great job of mixing cyberpunk and cosmic horror, the cybernetic antagonists look like Zoog Von Rock and Amelia Arsenic from Angelspit and it has a better gravity gun than Half-Life 2... 6. BioMega ... speaking of which, this prequel to the above manga really takes some cues from Half-Life 2 in how the DRF troopers look, which is very Combine-esque. Zoichi's motorcycle and coilgun are amazing too. It also has a crazy Russian scientist who transferred his mind into a bear and is more or less responsible for setting the series and it's various apocalypses into motion. 7. Gyo Junji Ito's most bodily horrific work ever. The transformation of Kaori from very beautiful to Death Stench ridden zombie thing is a testament to that. 8. One Punch Man My favorite satire of why Superman-style superheroes who can kick literally everything's ass with very few, if any weaknesses, are boring. One Punch Man is not boring. It's pretty fun, actually. 9. Desert Punk My favorite post-apocalyptic manga that shows just how terrible desperately thirsty and/or horny people living in bombed-out shitholes can be. It's pretty hilarious, and has some really well drawn guns. 10. Suichi The third Junji Ito thing on this list. It's about a really edgy kid who spits nine inch nails (at least, that's how long I assume they are) at people, plays around with curses and ends up getting eaten by a supermodel. It's pretty funny, too. [/QUOTE]
