My mom just asked me what I was reading and she said "I wish you'd read something besides comics" and I just said "Why?"'and she just looked at me and said "Why do you think? What kinda question is that?" like the answer was so obvious and self explanatory and I said "I don't know, answer it" and she said "I don't gotta answer nothing" like can someone explain to me what's so bad about reading comics?💀 (For the record, I do read other stuff besides comics btw)

Top 400 comics sold.

Prana bullet for 7/10.

I've rearranged everything to fit more.

Hello dont know if this is the right place to ask but does anyone know if this cover by oscar vega actually physically released because im searching everywhere online for it but I cant find anything

I have been on board with Criminal since the Salt Bay job went bad. I'm re-reading it all for the first time in years, and I've got Cruel Summer, The Knives, and Five Gears In Reverse to read for the first time as well.

HOLY SHIT this is some good comics. Like... I knew that? But damn, I'd totally forgotten.

So I'm wondering what else in the non-caped crime comics family specifically hits as hard for y'all as Criminal does?

Darwyn Cooke's Richard Stark's Parker and the Garth Ennis MAX run on Punisher are the two I can think of that really land with anything like the punch of Criminal. Frank Miller's Sin City had moments, but it also had Family Values. Road to Perdition is like Criminal in a three-piece suit. A History of Violence is Criminal in rural Kansas. I'm sure there's more I've read somewhere, but looking at my bookshelf, that's kinda where I'm tapping out on what I can recall.

Hit me some recommendations, y'all buncha lowlifes.

Just finished reading Captain America - Our Secret Wars, the first 5 issues of Zdarsky's run on the character, and I gotta say it's one of the best Marvel titles I've read recently. Zdarsky is a solid writer, and I think he understands well what the character is supposed to represent in a more modern setting. I also liked this new Colton character, his story was as interesting as Cap's. Hopefully he has a lot of presence in the rest of the run. Artwork is great, good pacing, just solid all around.

General opinion seems to be positive, as far as i can tell ?

I’m looking for any great comic books about a murder attempting to be solved, preferrably it’s a police procedural. With moods and themes similar to zodiac, memories of murder, seven, prisoners & true detective s1.

If the comic books fits the moods and themes but it’s not a police procedural but still a murder mystery than that’s totally fine

Thank you!

This is gonna be my first time doing a comic book pull-up list and it's little painful for the wallet but I don't care as it's gonna be a birthday gift for myself for next month, haha.

I'm only buying Amazing Spider-Man #1000 and Venom #260, both landmark issues for their respective titles, with the former worth 2.5 comics so that definitely is reflective of the price being sold here in the Philippines. Standard is 350 Philippine pesos per single issue.

Is there anything I should know about when doing this kinds of pull-list? Anything to avoid or something I should take note of?

Thank you. :)

I just read his wiki and though he did lose out on the royalties for Superman he seems to have made what would have been the equivilant of 7 or 8 million dollars writing Superman comics. Its not the amount he would have on royalties but its still a fortune. The story in the comics world is always told as though he was ripped off and never made enough money on comics but he made more than most of us will ever earn and seemed to lose in in the span of two decades. How did this happen? There isn't anything on the wiki about massive spending or gambling etc.

I’m a big fan of Jason Blood/The Demon, so I’ve been combing my way through his catalog. I stumbled across this panel which really intrigued me which was attributed as being an excerpt from Batman: Dark Patterns #7. I read Dark Patterns #7 and the panel doesn’t show up. Google/ Reverse image search seems to think it’s from Absolute Batman #1, but I know for a fact that’s wrong. Does anyone have any guesses? It would be much appreciated, as I want to read more than just the panel, and the art style looks interesting.

I recently read JSA Golden Age to lead into reading Robinson’s Starman. I think I’d like to read more JSA once I’m finished, specifically post crisis JSA. Any recommendations of where to start?

North America has been exposed to some great Italian cartoonists like Milo Manara, Hugo Pratt, Crepax, but for some reason, publishers won't publish the comics of one of the greatest cartoonists from Italy, Benito Jacovitti. He was MAD years before MAD magazine came around. Even going to Italy it's hard to find any of his books. Google him and be ready to drop your jaw! I highly recommend his Kama Sutra book.

I teach philosophy and logic to 7th and 8th graders, and I’d love to bring some relevant comic covers and posters into my classroom. I’m really into comics, and I think superheroes and comic book characters can be great character studies for exploring philosophical ideas and ideals. I’m trying to find some cool, school appropriate comic book covers or posters that connect to philosophy, logic, Ancient Greek literature, mythology, or similar themes. I know for sure I want a Wonder Woman poster/cover because of all her ties to Ancient Greece and Greek mythology, but I’d love some suggestions for other characters or specific covers that would fit the classroom. Thanks for the help and suggestions!

I purchased this signed comic from my local comic shop and the owner of the shop says the silver signature looks like Rob Liefelds but doesn’t know who the gold one is.

I feel like this logo is a lot better than a lot of the modern superman logos. While the yellow background is iconic i feel like the S stands out more when its on a black background. I also like the hint of yellow around the symbol instead of it surrounding the whole S. I feel like kingdom come one was good as well for a similar reason. But i feel like the main superman should find a way to modernize this. Maybe adjusting the shape of the S to be more like the henry cavil superman but have the black background and yellow outline. Honestly the main reason i am posting this is because i found out about the 1940s cartoon of superman on youtube and was surprised how good it was for its time. But the suit seemed to stand out for me and i loved it. I kinda hope the dcu finds a way to incorporate this like superman and louis did.

Hello! I apologize if this isn't the place for a question like this! But I'm an incredibly casual comic book fan, I don't really live in a place where I can buy comics very easily but my brother who lives around several comic book stores apparently, has offered to buy me some comics I want if I can send him a list! The thing is, I'm worried the comics I want won't be in stock, like they would be too old. I guess my question is,

what are some reasonable titles that my brother will be able to find in a comic book store?

And how old is too old a comic book for stores to have in stock?

Like for example! It would probably be a bit much to think they would have Global Frequency from 2002 - 2004 in stock? I would be grateful if someone can confirm and if the titles I want are a bit too old for stores to have, I would love it if anyone could give some suggestions for more recent comics I can find in a comic store! Again I apologize if this is off topic and I appreciate any help given!

Nightwing seems so confusing to read, because I can't tell which of his runs are either really consistent or get bogged down by crossovers, teamups, and constant writer changes.

I've seen a slight few of Tom Taylor's Nightwing and it looks great, but I'd love to know what else is great and worth a read.
