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.

Not sure if our local shops are open 12/24 or not... Might be worth a call!

Good stuff this week:

1776 #2 (Of 5) - J.M.S. doing Marvel hero time travel!

Absolute Martian Manhunter #7 - Took a bit of a break after #6, should come back strong.

Fire And Ice Nekron #1 - I such a sucker for this continuation of the 80s animated movie...

Ghost Machine:
Hornsby And Halo #13
Rocketfellers #11
Sisterhood A Hyde Street Story #5 - All three of these have been good, but share a common problem of being artificially extended. Sisterhood could have been an excellent single issue, they pushed it to 5.

Flash #28 - NGL - I am so far behind on this...

Green Arrow #31 - Some of the best GA stories done to date!

Justice League Unlimited #14 - Not happy with how this is getting sidetracked by all the DC KO stuff. 😞

Skinbreaker #4 - Some of the best art going right now!

Superman #33 - I think this is the end of the Ultimate Legion story that's been running?

Trinity Daughter Of Wonder Woman #6 - Final issue!

Warlord By Mike Grell Omnibus Volume 1 - This is a pricey one, but Mike Grell is a brilliant artist and Warlord was an interesting pre-cursor to Jon Sable: Freelance. $100 but worth it!

X-Men - I haven't been following the whole Revelation nonsense, but it looks like this is the last week for it!

For Flash I only have experience with the tv series they once released, where he eventually went so fast he could time travel. That is the point where I stopped watching, as I kinda found it a boring premise.

How is it with the comics? Flash sounds to me like a very narrow character, you can only do so much with speed. I quite like superheroes and have little issues with other superpowers being too unbelievable. Do you have any recommendations to change my mind?

This new run starting at #1 gets way, way more philosophical. And yeah, I agree, Barry as a character is a little boring, but this brings in the whole "Flash Family" so it's different from the show.
