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've been trying to spark discussion in the other comics group, but despite the comic books in the header, it seems more focused on comic STRIPS than comic BOOKS.

What do you guys think?

Big week to make up for the light holiday week.

CatFight #2 - First issue was a hoot, this one? Er... eh... it's an excuse to do one cat name themed fight over and over. :( Shame. Had promise.

Danger Street #7 - 7 months and I still have no idea where this is going. Is that a good thing or a bad thing?

Hunger and the Dusk #1 - Another new book that looks promising. Humans vs. Orcs vs… Generic brand super enemies who are totally not ~~White Walkers~~? It sounds more dismissive than I meant, it’s actually decent.

Jon Sable Freelance Masterstroke Edition is STUNNING. I’m biased, I was in the Kickstarter for it.

Knight Terrors Green Lantern #1 and Shazam #1 - is it really a good idea to hijack brand new books which haven’t had time to find their own voice for another big, silly, crossover event? One that really should be themed for Halloween?

Moon Knight #25 - Why is this $10? Edit 92 Pages(!!!)

Rocketeer in the Den of Thieves #1 - You had me at “Rocketeer”.

Sirens of the City #1 looks promising, part Preacher, mild Sandman aesthetic. Vapires vs. Sirens. Art reminds me of Chris Bachalo in a good way.

Spirit World #3 - Such a good book.

Superman Lost #5 - Never would have thought that one of the better books this year would be a Supes book. Good way to challenge an omnipotent character.

Svengoolie Lost in Time #1 - I gotta be honest, I’m buying all the “Frank Miller Presents” books because of his poor health. Dude needs all the money he can get and it’s not like comics creators have health insurance (see Dave Sim, Peter David, William Messner-Loebs).

Unstoppable Doom Patrol #4 - Just now finding out it’s only 6 issues? :( I thought it was an ongoing.

World’s Finest Teen Titans #1 - neat seeing original recipe Titans again!

Immortal X-Men #13, X-Force #42 - Honestly, I think I’m buying the X-books just out of habit now. :( Not enjoying them.

X-Men: Days of Future Past Doomsday #1 - (sigh) - FINE…

I'm also delayed, but more cause I use the subscription services which are delayed. I would like to have a way to have discussions when the delayed comics come out
