^Synopsis sounds interesting, might have to look into that one... more than just the standard zombie fare is it?

No zombies thankfully! Just dead people coming back to life, seemingly normal. People are happy, sad and confused by it. Some really good character development in a Twin Peaks kind of way.

I'm about to buy Scud: The Disposable Assassin "The Whole Shebang" for the second time. My exgirlfriend has the last copy.

I love scud, I even have some original art :D

 

 

 

I used to have some of the original issues from the 90s, but I lent them to a friend ages ago and they never came back. This is the constant relationship I've had with this comic.

I just finished up the last collection of MIND MGMT. Really good series, even if the art can be a lil dodgy at times.

finished the walking dead compendium vol.3, so guess have to wait 3-4 more years until the next one

Yep that's where I'm at.

I felt compendium 3 was weaker compared to the first 2 but I dunno I'll probably read it again

Fantagraphics is putting this out this summer:

 

 

 

 

 

 

great lil comic about Alzheimer's... it takes under an hour to read the whole thing but if you've got a relative or know people with the disease it's a must read

Gotham Central is seriously great, I finished book 2 last week... need to get 3 soon.

[logakght]

Just look at this beauty

 

[KovalainenFanBoy]

an indie publisher put out these really cool boxes of 20 mini-comics each some years ago, 4 of them in total. The theme is colors (red, green, brown and black) and each comic is made by a different artist. Got the black one at a store and the brown one should be in the mail soon, gonna have a bad time getting the red and green ones though (limited to 500). Anyway, pics:

have read both Upon a star and Gardens of edena. both very lovely and very strongly linked to what moebius is generally all about. will still pick this up for the newly translated-to-english exclusives.

 

super super happy to see this stuff finally getting the english printing it deserves !!! looooong time overdue holy shit.

[YEK]

watchmen

 

black hole

 

milk and cheese

 

batman:year one

 

and a few tank girls

 

 

i'm really enjoying the tank girl, i think it's my new favorite

[KovalainenFanBoy]

pleasantly surprised to see Fantagraphics is putting this out

 

 

can't wait to see what the whole roster is... not my favorites so far, and it seems like a pretty homogeneous mix of artists which is a shame. I'll post some artists I think are missing from the roster in case anyone gives a fuccc

[doublename]

Post that shit

[ghOsty]

Looks like DC Comics is looking for a lettering artist:

Wonder if it'd pay enough to support moving to Burbank?...
