MARGIN

Just finished reading The Punisher Volumes 4-6, which is more or less Garth Ennis' entire run. It was completely fascinating and I love the Tim Bradstreet covers. I remember reading about him back in the day in Wizard magazine. Great painter.

Also read, by writer Ed Brubaker, Criminal which was incredible. Wished there was more of this stuff. Is anyone else familiar? Also checked out Deadenders (which I loved) and Fatale (didn't get hooked by the first issue) by him as well.

Downloaded but haven't read yet: Elephantmen, Planetary, Y - The Last Man, Alan Moore's run with Swamp Thing (read bits of it), Transmetropolitan, and a whole bunch of other stuff.

Still haven't done things like finish the entire Sandman run or all of Sin City, though.

What, if anything, is anybody reading? Anybody know anything about Ed Brubaker?

Still looking for any digital versions of "chester gould's complete dick tracy" past the first couple

MEGAHEX should be dropping next month,

as well as a new POWR MASTRS preview zine from an upcoming new edition http://free-cf.com/powrmastrs.html hopefully shipping soon

slunken I highly recommend Jason Aaron's recent Punisher MAX run...the whole story is 20-something issues. Art by Steve Dillon. It's very dark and very good.

I got these cosmic omniboo:

I've been waiting for that pwr mstrs forver, fuck the ashcan though I'll just get the whole deal when it's released.

I've collected every single issue of COPRA...are you familiar slunken?

transmet is pretty cool

planetary also cool

i used to like comics back when i cared about stuff

i only read manga.. but the odd good ones. not kawaiii underage magic girls ones

i need to read more graphic novels

i love that kawhi is pronounced the same as Kawaii

ANATA WA KAWAII DESUUUUUUUUUUUU ~~~~~~~~~~ UGUUUUUUUUUUUU

The Maxx is definitely my favourite comic series ever but also gotta recommend Y, A God Somewhere, Walking Dead (WAY better than the show), DMZ, uhh... I'm sure there's a bunch of other stuff I'm forgetting. If you can handle all the tiny detail b&w anime stuff the books of Akira are awesome too.

i've got the first issue of maxx rotting away somewhere. plus the first spawn

is Image still around?

it's a subsidiary of DC

they made soem bad comics

remember youngblood by rob liefeld

yes. even i didn't bother with that in the early 90s so thats probably saying a lot

i basically viewed any books not to do with the x men to be illegitimate.

which is hilarious at this point

the authority and planetary were good doe

basically once they realized they needed writers other people stepped in

alan moore even had a imprint on image for a bit, that's where league of extraordinary gentlemen came from

i admit i bought gen 13 because of fairchild and general T&A, i am ashamed to say

I like buying old comics just for the sake of looking at all of the old advertisements.

The only new comics I ever buy here and there are Archie comics. They're tremendously silly, but i find they're good for a nice wholesome chuckle/light, little read here and there.... Yeah, yeah, yeah, troll away.

you're the one trolling

No man. I actually do buy Archie comics every now and again. I guess it's a bit of a nostalgia thing, but I do get a wholesome enjoyment from them.

comics are like poetry

For sure. Im afraid to try and re-read it. Its probably terrible. S

I just got familiar with it. Do you have anyndigital scans?

Grabbed this last night. I was wondering where do go after ennis' run. Also grabbed untold tales of punisher max 5 issue miniseries. Just started reading the first max series for the second time.

I don't believe you

shoot - just now saw this. grabbing it now.

recently finished punisher volumes 4-6 plus punishermax or in other words, punisher from 2000-2012.

started on punisher war zone from 1992 which ran for 40-some issues until 1995. after reading the garth ennis stories, the romita artwork is looking pretty insane.

after this i have a few volumes of frank millers sin city to finish and then i want to catch up to where i left off reading gaiman's sandman.

all i need is a stolen pack of cigarettes and an oversized nin shirt

side note - why is the marvel universe so complicated? jfc

finished up punisher war zone. it can be complicated because some of the stories either continue or conclude in either issues of punisher volume 2 or punisher war journal, both of which i am reading now.

i think next time it would be easier to read it all by publication date as opposed to publication title.

i can't stop reading about frank castle mowing down scum.

also i don't think anyone here reads any simon hanselmann but they pushed back megahex another month again ugh

so Galactus is pretty terrifying, huh?



started reading some Silver Surfer

Silver surfer is great. Read FF 48-50 obviously, but read lee and buscema's run

there was this weird issue of the punisher recently where he kind of teams up with a rapping performance artist flag burner and the punisher goes on this whole "pseudo-racist" rant about how rap music is not music because music must contain three elements: harmony melody and rhythm and he says that rap music is just monkey grunting in rhythm and at best it is bad spoken poetry put to a drum beat and that there is no melody or harmony which one could argue is easily simply not the case but on the other hand i don't know i guess maybe that was the eurocentric view on it or something?

also note to self to research later/fun fact:

early punisher issues has frank/punisher using an alias of "charles fort". charles fort was a late 19th/early 20th century author on occult phenomena.

do you consider 'graphic novels' as comics? it's all the same for me

anyways, I finished Habibi last week, great read, need to read more from that author

Slunken...Benjamin marra traditional comics is KILLING IT...trust me and buy this while you can:
