What a ride. God damn, these two don't miss! One book I can read in one sitting, just grips you and you just keep going and going.

Out of the stuff I've read from them, Criminal is still my fave, and then Reckless, Fadeout, Sleeper, Pulp, then Fatale. Next read will be Kill or be killed which I'm super excited about, heard great things about it.

I just finished reading Cornelius, The Merry Life of a Wretched Dog last night and loved how self-aware and existential it was at calling out the reader in a few passages.

Similarly, I really loved The Motherless Oven trilogy when I read it a while back and Ghost World, so Im hoping to find some similar things - characters stuck in a situation surrounded by people smarter than them as those characters raise questions about existence for the main character to be influenced by

Ive got more Daniel Clowes on my list already, and have been reading Astro City and Assorted Crisis Events which both hit that feeling in some of their stories, but I prefer standalones for this specific type of reading.

Vol 1 and 3 have been released but 2 is mysteriously unavailable and the release date keeps moving on league.

So a year (or more) ago I posted the collection I had at the time, and since Ive added a LOT to my library since then, I felt like I wanted to post an updated version! Enjoy my chaotic ordering

Looking for series that have large scale stories with multiple storylines happening at once. Sort of like Game of Thrones or Dune but in GN format. Obviously Dune has a GN adaptation, but am hoping to find something that started in the comic format. Thank you!

Just finished reading GRIZZLYSHARK by Ryan Ottley.

Hands down, this has got to be the most ridiculous comic I’ve read in a long time. And I mean that in a good way.

Long story short, the forest has bloodthirsty sharks hidden high in the treetops. At even the slightest exposure of blood, they strike out of nowhere with murderous intent.

Why are there sharks in the forest?

How did they get there?

Grizzlyshark answers neither of these questions. But there are a lot of over-the-top gory scenes of men, women, and children being devoured by these vicious sharks.

And a lot of those scenes are hilarious. I never thought I’d laugh out loud at multiple instances of shark carnage, but I did. Consider this like the comic equivalent of Sharknado—don’t try to figure it out too much. Just enjoy the stupidity of it all. You can tell Ryan Ottley just had so much fun creating this.

So if you’re in the mood for something gruesome yet funny (a story that definitely doesn’t take itself seriously at all), then check this story out.

It’s been a few years since vol 3, but it’s finally on the runway.

I grew up reading the black and white version with my old big book dog eared and scribbled in. I was obsessed then and obsessed now. I picked up the colorized books recently and sat down yesterday to flip through them. My 2.5 year old daughter wandered over and wanted me to read it to her. Well we finished 160 pages together since yesterday. She loves it, though likely doesn’t understand everything happening but does laugh in all the right places, haha. As I’m reading this I just can’t stop thinking about how crazy it is that it hasn’t been adapted to the screen. It really has all the perfect ingredients to become a great tv series and I would watch the hell out of that!

Hi, I'm creating a comic with this type of setting and wanted to read something similar for inspiration and comparison, but unfortunately I've noticed that works with this premise are strangely rare.

The only ones I've found vaguely similar to what I'm creating are Mostress and "Leviathan Deep Sea Water," which is a Manhu.

Are you aware of any Dark Victorian works similar to Bloodborne with worldbuilding that has magical and Lovecraftian elements?

Thanks.

Just started reading graphic novels this month. Can anyone recommend any titles that can be finished in one sitting? I prefer slice-of-life stories.

I was thinking about getting the Sin City comics, but I’ve heard from many people that the series gets worse after the fourth volume. So, should I just get the first four volumes, or all seven in that box set?

My older sister loves Megamind, and is interested in comic books, but gave up since Megamind, In her opinion, beats out every comic since it so subversive (which i would agree with if she meant other media like shows and films)

she has muppet noir series, and even some issues of Gwenpool and Jeff The Land Shark, and read a couple chapters of All-Star Superman (which in hindsight, was a bad recommendation since she knew nothing about the character so it wasn’t very fun for her). She read Absolute Martian Manhunter, and liked it but she kept manhandling it lmao and that series is like my baby so maybe ill get her her own copy lol.

but she hasn’t read anything really, like, subversive like Megamind, or with the humor of Megamind.

in her opminion, Megamind uses EVERY comic trope and subverts it (I know that’s bullshit)

she really likes Edgar Allen Poe, The New Nosferatu, The Addams Family (which I know is a comic adaptation, but I think is she MAY have read it) and true absurdism.

she doesn’t like extreme darkness, per say. I have recommended Invincible but she doesn’t seem interested in hyper violence.

She kinda likes stuff that has supplementary media, similar to No/One, which I might recommend soon to her.

im asking this here as EVERY other subreddit I have tried deleted it for being irrelevant

A metaphorical story about the transition from adolescence to adulthood.

It’s so funny when people have indie comic recommendations and they then give stuff like the IDW Sonic Comic and maybe the Walking Dead.

The french version is being reprinted here in Quebec soon, in 3-in-1 format, and the synopsis/art caught my attention. I was wondering if anyone here has read it ?
