ALL RIGHT! A COMICS THREAD!
Invincible is pretty fun! (Although I've stopped on issue 30-ish) Right now I'm enjoying the current run of Batman (Scott Snyder & Greg Capullo). I would like to recommend this to folks who want to get into Batman. Right now, they're on the 3rd story arc (the return of Joker), but I suggest you start from the first issue (where they introduce a new type of evil in Gotham) because it's really good. I recently saw Dark Knight Returns, and that made me want to check Knightfall and No Man's Land. Hey Furby, have you read Avengers VS. X-Men yet? Jam it back in, in the dark.

I'll definitely pick up Invincible again. There's a lot of stuff that's happened and I'm want to catch up on the story.
AvX is ok, it's really a big recommendation (since it's 12 issues long). It's basically Avengers fighting the X-men and trying to save the world from the Phoenix. It has it's good and bad moments. I personally would have skipped it because the art duties were divided into several artists. If you're into military fiction, I recommend The Activity (from Image), written by Nathan Edmonson and art by Mitch Gerads. It's about a secret special ops unit and every issue happens is a different mission and on a different country. Very fast paced and action packed stories, so if you're into that kind of thing I highly recommend this book. There's nowhere I can't reach. |
Today Hellboy in Hell #1 comes out! Is anyone else excited? I know I am! I'm pretty biased, but this is one hell of a book! (pun intended)
Also, Avengers #1 by Hickman & Opena is out, which features a new storyline and lineup! Can you recognize who the other members are? Honestly, I don't know the other 4 or 5, but it's still a fun book (not as good as Hellboy though, heh) All New X-Men #4 is out too from Bendis & Immonen (man, his art is amaaazing). Here we have post AvX Cyclops starting a "revolution". A wonderfully drawn book, and very good characterization by Bendis. What are you picking up this week? How ya doing, buddy? |
Another Image book that I will recommend is Who Is Jake Ellis by Nathan Edmonson and Tonci Zonjic. It's a fast-paced spy thriller with a very interesting twist. There is a trade out, so you can read it in it's entirety.
![]() The first issue of the 2nd volume, Where is Jake Ellis, was released a few weeks back. It continues here it left off from "Who". If you liked The Activity, you will probably enjoy this too! I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Can you recommend any good books that shows the Batman/Bane relationship? I have to admit, I don't really know anything about Bane (aside of the back-breaking thing, and the not so recent Secret Six). I was speaking idiomatically. |
What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Oh yeah, Bendis is good, although his Avengers run towards the end was a bit disappointing. But now, he's handling All New X-Men, and I must say he's doing a very very good job and it's now one of my favorite books!
For those reading Ed Brubaker's Fatale, what do you guys think of it? I kind of lost interest after the 4th issue, maybe I was expecting it to be another Criminal and approached it the wrong way. I might give it a second chance after I sort out my "to-read" list. FELIPE NO |
Haha yeah, I actually wanted to try My Little Pony just for laughs, but I never got the time to check it out. It's probably too colorful.
The preorder numbers of #1 is pretty surprising, considering that it's not a big title comic book. If it will become a tool of entry for early adopters of comics, I'm all for it. But personally, I'm not that interested. Speaking of all ages comics, I can recommend Adventure Time (which I really like but haven't seen the cartoons) and also Snarked.
