Best ongoing comic runs?
(lemmy.world)
I'm sorta new to comics and I'm a degenerate weirdo who prefers alternative comics or underground comix as opposed to super heroes.
That said, if you like sorta surrealist horror, Ice Cream Man is a good one (and what started my addiction), 37 comes out oct (25th iirc).
Creepshow is doing a vol 2 right now (wasn't a huge fan of issue 1 because the first comic is literally just an eye-roll inducing lazy writing "dunk on conservatives" piece and I refuse to be manipulated into pretending it was good simply because I agree politically. Huge fan of Vol 1 though and can't wait for Vol. 2 issue 2.)
The Sacrificers is just getting started (issue 3 out this week) but so far it has me hooked. They use words fairly sparingly, instead trying to tell the story through the images moreso, but "in a good way."
Coda Vol. 2 is just starting too, the first (13th) issue came out like 2w ago iirc. Post apocalyptic high fantasy. Just recently got all the back issues and got caught up, Vol 1 was fantastic and Vol 2 looks like it'll carry that torch just fine.
Rare Flavours also just started, about a Rakshaasa that wants to be the next Bourdain. Liked the first issue a lot, can't wait for issue 2.
Honorable mentions:
Fishflies is guaranteed to only be 6 issues, but it is technically currently ongoing lol, and it is good so far as of issue 2.
And not a comic but a magazine, if you like comix, I just subbed to R. Crumb's current publication (idt he owns it but they publish his new works.) I'm pretty sure I'm the only one here who wants it and I don't want to blow up their spot too hard considering the controversial nature of some of the things the artists have drawn, but it is out there!
