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.

Almost forgot what day it was!

Let's see here...

Amazing Spider-Man #31 - I don't typically buy Spider-Man but this is one of those "Stunning Revelations! Nothing Will Be The Same" kind of issues.

Bad Idea has been on a roll lately!

Olympus Saga Megalith #2 (Of 4)

Concrete Stars Over Sand #1 (Of 5) - Oh, man, Dark Horse is bringing back Concrete!

Back in the day, when Dark Horse was first getting started, they were known for Alien, Dark Horse Presents, Boris the Bear... and Concrete!

Ron Lithgow was an ordinary guy who was kidnapped by aliens and had his mind transplanted into a stony concrete body. Think "Thing" but less orange.

The book is almost meditative. He's not out superheroing, he's just trying to live his new life... in a concrete body.

EC Comics:
Catacomb Of Torment #12 - Pretty sure this is the end of this EC book.

Ghost Machine:
Redcoat #18 - Simon Pure - the immortal Revolutionary War soldier lives on!

Trillion Dollar Kid #1 (Of 2) - No, not Musk!

Wonder Man #4 (Of 5) - Did I miss #3? Feels like I missed #3...

X-Books:
Inglorious X-Force #6

Magik And Colossus #5 (Of 5) - Putting a pin in another one!

Uncanny X-Men #30

X-Men United #4

One to look for NEXT WEEK...

X-Men: Elsewhen (Volume 1 of 3) (Hardcover) - Abrams Books

This might be hard to find because it's coming from Abrams and not Marvel and it's a $40 hardcover...

John Byrne had an ICONIC run on X-Men from #108 to #143, nearly 3 years. During that time he drew the introduction of Alpha Flight, the Proteus story arc, the Hellfire Club and Dark Phoenix as well as the two-part Days of Future Past.

It turns out, after he left the book, he kept going! Unable to let the characters go, and these stories have remained unpublished FOR 45 YEARS(!)

Abrams has now completed the work as finished graphic novels and is publishing them as a 3 volume set!
