I’m actually a huge fan of the community and have been subbed since the beginning. I skim a lot of the stuff you share. That’s why I jumped on this thread. I think we like a lot of the same things. I really like a ton of the short Vertigo, Dark Horse, and Image stuff. I don’t get into the superhero lines because I don’t find the stories interesting.
If you can speed read through the first and possibly second story line of 100 Bullets, I think it gets way better and it’s one of my favorites. Like I said, I totally get where you’re coming from on those first issues and see why you might not want to continue.
East of West is probably the only newer thing I really like. You can see the Moebius influence. The story can kinda drag and there are some interesting choices.
I really haven’t read many comics in recent years. I’ve been rereading Tintin to share it with some young relatives. Groo, Usagi Yojimbo, and Hellboy are some other favorites.
I would love recommendations.
