Guest hahathhat Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 i saw the movie version of akira after being awake for over 40 hours. it was terrifying and confusing in that state..... i heard they tried to cram too much into too little time with the film adaption, and i'd be inclined to believe that assessment.

doorjamb Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 I grew up reading random old secondhand comics. Stuff like Silver Surfer and Kirby's Fourth World saga strikes me as pretty idm, at least in theory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KovalainenFanBoy Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 I'm reading Crossed, holy shit Garth Ennis is really fucked up. Look at the cover (NSFW x100) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest KY Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 here are some comics i've heard people rave about, but have not read yet: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milk_%26_Cheese definitely worth checking out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doorjamb Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 get the Fourth World Omnibus volumes, should be required reading. also the Sandman (Neil Gaiman) TPB issues are top shelf, lads. yeah I actually own both, just didn't want to sound like a nerd I would also recommend Grant Morrison's Doom Patrol run as something that breaks tired superhero norms; sort of dada crime-fighting(?)

ghOsty Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 I used to collect Spawn comics... I always found the story to be pretty deep and complex past the first few establishing issues, the artwork is pretty great too, especially once Greg Capullo came onto the team. I've read Watchmen, and I loved it... I've been meaning to read more of the Alan Moore Batman one's and I've heard his take on swamp thing is interesting Also Frank Miller's Sin City is a great read.

Guest Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 i did kind of like johnny the homicidal maniac. it wasn't the maximum utmost, but it was visceral and engaging. i ate that shit up when i was a teenager, despite being uncomfortably close to the kind of person he was constantly lampooning. i even played vampire: the masquerade perpetual hassle. but really, that and american splendor and to a much lesser extent sandman were all i ever really got into. god this hits too close to home. fuck why was i so dumb as a teenager also American Splendor is a good movie/comic book and imo the best thing Crumb has illustrated for. also neil gaiman is a+ My favorite comic is Calvin and Hobbes though (if it counts.) Makes me incredibly nostalgic. lol /embarrassing post Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to collect Spawn comics as well, up until issue 50 or so when the comic store in my town vanished. =[ I loved the depictions of hell that McFarlane drew up... too bad the movie sucked so hard.

Guest Sprigg Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 I've recently gotten into Northlanders and Eric Shanower's adaptations oft he Oz books. Those Oz comics have some of the most inspired artwork I've seen in some time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
