Comic Books

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.

One of Image's latest releases, writer Deniz Camp's Assorted Crisis Events, is one of the boldest, most exciting uses of the comic book medium in decades. With only one issue released so far, Assorted Crisis Events has already surpassed many of the mainstream titles being released today. It's complete and utter proof that the comic book industry is as creatively free as ever, and that the medium has so much to offer that audiences can't experience anywhere else.

...

One of the most impressive things about Assorted Crisis Events is the way in which it utilizes the comic book medium. While the story certainly could be told in live-action or animation, it is absolutely most suited to the comic book format. Taking advantage of bold panel design, engaging layouts, and mixing of art styles and character designs, the book is drop-dead gorgeous, and it evokes such an emotional response from its reader.
