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.

I was just not buying that shit because it sucks.
Dude, have you read any absolute DC? Everything I've read has been at least all right. How do you know it sucks if you haven't read it?
Personally I actually want to read about Sojourner, that Green Lantern rookie with the funky 80s glasses and big hair. She seems like she might be an interesting character, and from what I've read about her main story synopsis - she's stationed in a different sector than the other human Lanterns, and she has to thwart a government conspiracy as a total outsider - it sounds like it would be a cool story regardless.
Far Sector! 12 issues! Good read. But after it was over, DC didn't know what to do with her. She'd pop up in the annual DC Pride issue and that was it until Green Lantern Corps.
She's the main character in the Absolute GL!
I tried Absolute Batman because everyone was hyping it up, but it got real cringey around the time Alfred described Batman as "Batman AF."
There were some neat ideas, but the tone was so childishly edgelord that I couldn't keep going, and I've been hesitant to try the rest of the line.
I enjoyed it, but it very much is targeting that sort of feeling.
Absolute Wonder Woman and Martian Manhunter were stand outs for me!
What's dc?
You spelled toboggan wrong.
Maybe I already got the correct spelling banned.
I wish I was as cool as you
