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.

Welcome to Sagaville.
Most of my collection is non superhero stuff. Sandman I agree belongs on this list, the work stands. Stardust too, such a good story. Love the Lucifer comics as much, and pretty much everything Mike Carey did in the non-superhero realm.
East of West was one of the best drawn series ever. So many of those pages could be blown up and made into posters.
Monstress is ongoing and really good.
RIP my ability to appreciate Sandman as a comic 🫠
Yes, that seemed a "bold" pick.
Interesting to see Black Science on the list. I always felt like this one flew under the radar and wasn’t talked about much.
I actually read it as individual issues as it was coming out. I liked it quite a bit, but had serious mixed feelings by the end. To be fair I have not revisited it since it ended, so I wonder how I’d see things on a reread.
"Of all time" but the bulk are from the last 20 years (apart from Sandman, TWD is the oldest and started 22 years ago), most the last decade.
Yeah, there are older ones for sure, I remember Beautiful Stories for Ugly Children, that series was good and go further back all the R Crumb stuff.
It is entirely possible that there has been a renaissance in this area though. There do seem to be many more lately, and the art is often better.
No Lone Wolf and Cub? That series was absolutely superb.
I read Descender recently and I absolutely loved the artwork.
How is the story? The artwork already had me close to buying yet, but never heard anyone about it before, so I held off for now.
I really enjoyed the story. I checked it out digitally through my library and read it on my iPad.
