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.

Fresh list is up! Looks like a short one for me this week but that's ok!

My Bad Escape From Peculiar Island #4 - This one is stupid and weird and I've been digging it, Thomas Jefferson vs some guy lmao.

Epitaphs From The Abyss #2 - This one I was so excited for the first issue but instead of having good stories it felt like it was just preaching to me sponsored by the DNC. It doesn't matter if I agree with many of the "lessons" they were trying to "teach me" either, it felt very condescending in a "hello fellow kids" way like some kind of food pyramid comic from the 90s. And the icing on the cake is the goddamn "weird fantasy" reboot Cruel Universe had "scarier" stories than this "horror" reboot! I'm going to give it another issue or two but this might get dropped pretty fast.

Standstill #1 - Not gonna lie I'm only slightly interested in this but since there's not much else for me this week I may check it out. Guy steals a time stopping device and commits crimes, the inventor has to stop him. Could be good though, we'll see!

That's it for me, what's on your lists this week?

Did Conan move from Marvel?

I wish I could tell you but I haven't been following it. Honestly when I peruse the list for my picks I skip the Marvel section (as well as the mangas) entirely, I can't get into it, personally.

Marvel lost the rights a few years back I think.

Which is weird because they just got the rights back in 2018...

I am surprised Conan is not public domain yet. But using Steamboat Mickey as a reference, there is 4 more years to go.

I had mixed emotions going into Jenny Sparks. I always liked the character, and the Authority, but they made it clear she was "the spirit of the 20th century" and she died when Jenny Quantum was born in 2001.

This isn't a flashback, they reference her canonical age of 124. They also kill her off and bring her right back, so there's something unexplained here.

I think I'm more upset that they're doing yet another "Captain Atom as mentally ill Doctor Manhattan", AGAIN.

I like Tom King as a writer and I trust where he's going with this though...
