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.

Everything I was reading before has either concluded or is delayed, so I figured I'd pick up some collected volumes while I wait for new things to come out. I grabbed:
I hadn't heard of Blow Away or Astonishing Times before, but they were in the "50% off because they came out a few years ago" bin, and they looked interesting.
Saga is awesome.
I'm not a huge DC fan at all, I can just never get into their books but I have to say the Absolute stuff is some of the best reads they've released in a long time IMHO. Absolute Batman is awesome. Reminds me a lot of Marvel's Ultimate stuff before they messed that up. Just interesting that it took DC over 20 years to finally do their own version of the Ultimate universe and not mess it up.
