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.

I'm just getting into moebius but I'm loving his work so far. I'm about 3/4 through edena.

Moebius is one of my all-time favourite artists. Escher rocked my world with his tessellating drawings when I was a kid - haven't thought about him much as an adult, other than to admire his technical skill. Giger's a little grotesque for me, but I once bought a set of postcards of his work so I could use them to write to a friend who was living with his ultra-devout aunt at the time.

Nice! I love the works of Giger. Yes, it’s a bit grotesque. I went to Gruyère two years ago and felt like a kid on Xmas nite! Thanks for your comments and all the best
