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.

The Boys comics co-creator Garth Ennis and former The Equalizer co-showrunner Adam Glass are among the co-founders of Ninth Circle, a new comic book publisher focused on the horror genre, which has set horror comedy Freddie The Fix as its first title.

Ninth Circle, whose co-founders also include writers Marguerite Bennett (DC’s Bombshells), Joe Pruett (Negative Burn) and Ram V (The Many Deaths of Laila Starr), launches as an imprint of Image Comics. Rounding out the leadership team is ABGO’s Michael Bogner and TFC Management’s David Stone. Ninth Circle’s lead investor Kimberly Steward (Manchester By The Sea, Suspiria), and her K Period Media production company will partner with Ninth Circle to produce select titles.

...

Its debut title, Ennis’ Freddie The Fix is billed as a darkly humorous and horrific series that follows Freddie, a fixer who cleans up the messes left behind by the monstrous stars of Hollywood: werewolves, vampires, zombies, aliens, bogeymen, predators, and…things. The series will be illustrated by Mike Perkins (Ed Brubaker’s Captain America run, Stephen King’s The Stand and Swamp Thing). Freddie the Fix is set for release Dec. 11.

...

Starting with Freddie the Fix, Ninth Circle aims to deliver double-shot books each month, with each issue containing a stand-alone tale of terror. Upcoming comics include works by Marguerite Bennett, illustrated by Jill Thompson (Neil Gaiman’s The Sandman, the Scary Godmother series, Wonder Woman), Joe Pruett, illustrated by Butch Guice (The Flash, Winter Soldier, Birds of Prey), and Glass, illustrated by Bernard Chang (X-Men, Deadpool, Superman), as well as additional titles from Ennis, Ram V and others.

I’m new 'round these parts and do not know Garth Ennis

His work is a bit samey these days but he wrote Preacher and had a great run on Hellblazer which are worth checking out.

Thanks I'll check those out, I think I've heard of Preacher before.

It was adapted for TV a few years ago, a pretty good series but the comics went on much longer.
