Comic Books
A place to discuss comic books of all types, from old to new, Big 2 to indie, and everything in between.
Floppies, graphic novels, compilations, omnibusses (omnibusi?) are all fair game.
There is only one rule:*
Comic Books is a no judgement zone.
You can talk all you want about how Rob Liefeld is trash, Bob Kane is an asshole, or Frank Miller and Dave Sim’s politics have made them toxic, that’s all good.
If, however, another user is LEGITIMATELY a fan of something you don’t like, that does NOT make them a lesser person. Attack the art for being bad, not the person for being a fan of bad art.
* I lied. There are TWO rules... No piracy. Cover shots? That's good. Interior pages, in moderation? Sure. Full books? Links to pirate sites? That's how we get things shut down. :(
I'm not saying it's been a problem, because it hasn't been.

Some super good stuff last week and this week...
Two books that WEREN'T on the comic list, but popped up at my local comic shop (support your local comic shop!) are oversized graphic novels by Jim Bishop:
Lost Letters:

A Miyazaki-esque tale of a boy looking for a lost letter from his mother. Complete with fish that inhabit robot like suits, the fish mafia, and more!
My Dear Pierrot:
https://store.magnetic-press.com/products/my-dear-pierrot-by-jim-bishop-hardcover
Another Miyazaki style story, dark fantasy this time. A girl falls in love with a street magician.
Also from Magnetic Press, if you missed it, Dave Dorman's Wasted Lands omnibus.

I'm out of town this week unfortunately so I'll be late to the store, hope I don't miss these, I'll have to check em out if I can! Fish mafia sounds right up my ally!
