Just finished the Saga of Swamp Thing by Alan Moore book 1 which was pretty awesome!

Moores work on Swamp thing is just amazing and is the origin of my fave comic character ,John Constantine.

Call of Cthulhu graphics.

Batman Incorporated.Cool Comic.

Re-reading Preacher, and am just as thrilled by the awesomely perverse and freaky contents this second time around.

Good, but could use a few more horror elements.

Just finished binge reading Ed Brubaker and Sean Phillips' Fatale and really enjoy it. It starts out like a crime noir but has elements of horror including a vibe that's very Lovecraftian. There's a really intriguing femme fatale, an ominous cult, a good bit a disturbing gore and the ending was pretty satisfying.

Anyone else checked out Squarriors by Ashley Witter and Ash Maczko? It has a similar vibe to Redwall and Watership Down. The artwork is gorgeous although it gets a bit gory at times. The battle scenes in issue #2 were pretty epic.

Is it gray vs red squirrels? If so that's so boss cause red squirrels are assholes.

Read the first three issues of Space Riders by Alexis Ziritt and Fabian Rangel from Black Mask Studios and really enjoyed it. The art has this really cool psychedelic quality especially the coloring just insanely cool. From what I've read about it online it's only a four issue miniseries.

The premise is basically a disgraced space captain gets a second chance to redeem himself. He flies around in his space ship shaped like a skull and is joined by his first mate who is an anthropomorphic baboon and a female robot.

I just read through my collection of "Alex + Ada" which was done by one of the Luna Brothers (Girls, The Sword).
I liked it. Maybe not as much as the other titles they've done, but it retained the interest, and it was pretty heartfelt.
I enjoy the simplistic art style, and each time they manage to immerse the reader in their tale/reality.
I'd recommend any of their work really.

I picked up Death Head #1 on a whim because I liked the cover and thought it was pretty interesting. It involves multiple sets of characters in different settings; a husband and wife couple hiking in the woods come across and eerie abandoned town not on their map; a boy is forced into the sewers by bullies and a rebellious girl at a boarding school. Really curious to where its going and how the characters will interconnect if at all.

wytches.

Blackhawk # 27 and #33.

These are Golden Age comics from the 1940's. Got them in fairly good condition at a reasonable price.

Being 73, I remember best the 1950's Blackhawks, but still have interest in the 40's and 30's as well.

Not reading it yet but there is supposed to be a Trick r Treat comic coming out in October. I read about it last week.

CHAMBER OF CHILLS Vol 4-Good 1950's pre code Horror commix-not as good as EC, but really not bad at all, although I recognized a few of the stories that were re-used in the Eerie publication mags.

I regularly read Swords of Sorrow, Secret Wars, MODOK Assassin and Carol Corps


I was reading Captain Marvel and Silk pretty regularly but they're done for now...

I haven't read any of those...though kind of collected downloaded copies...which I might browse through.
I have to say, I'm getting really, REALLY sick of events.
Now what, they're going to do a "new 52" type thing and combine the ultimate and regular marvel universes?
Too much bullshit to keep up with - this crossover event is ridiculously stupid-large.
I mean back in the day, a crossover would be a standalone comic of around 12-14 issues.
Nothing else would get drawn into it, it was an event on its own.
It's just annoying now.


Lately, I've had a look at the first three issues of "Batman & Robin Eternal".
Like Batman Eternal before it, I find myself nearly immediately more enthralled than the other core titles running at the moment (Robo-Bat...no...), I just find everything better from the characters new and returning, the backtracking into the unknown past, the overall contained storyline.
I'm looking forward to reading more.

While on the Batman stuff...I find the "new" Bruce Wayne kind of interesting...I mean we all know what's going to happen...just a matter of when.

Also read the latest issue of Invincible, Robert Kirkmans "other" title.
This comic has been overall consistant, but goes off on a few too many tangents for my liking. It's always remained, for the better part, a good read.
This latest issue was the first part of a storyline called "Reboot?", that starts with the main character experiencing an event, then "waking up" to roughly the same time as the first issue of the comic, that is, 120+ issues ago - which is around a decade of progress.
As he only got his powers in the first issue, he has none of his existing alliances and knows things that he "shouldn't" so the dynamic between himself and his former friends and enemies is going to be quite interesting.
...This is one that will really pay off for the long term readers.
Not sure about new readers. Maybe?

Monster Con was my hero for comics<33

http://www.toonopedia.com/man-wolf.jpg

I have the complete collection of Werewolf by Night and Man Wolf by Marvel. Been binge reading Man Wolf, I'll start over on Werewolf by Night when I'm done with that. Also got The Incredible Hulk collection, and a few miscellaneous monster comics with the werewolf ones.

I usually don't read the comics I get because I am afraid of fucking them up but my last purchases were Shadow Of The Batman #1 and 2 from 185 and both are near mint. I also recently ordered Spawn #9 which is one of the more valuable books in the earlier part of the series. I want Shadow Of The Batman 3 4 and 5 to complete the run and I want Spawn 6 7 and 8 to connect my first 5 with 9.

I'm re-reading the full series 1 run of Ghost Rider.

Being a very old broad, I am reading and collecting Golden Age comics.

The series I am collecting is Blackhawk. I think that it is still around but the ones I am reading and collection come from the series beginning on Military in 1940 through the era of Quality Comics ending in 1957 and also some of the first ones in the DC Comics line.

The 7 Blackhawk freedom fighters fought Nazi's, Communist, mad dictators from all over the world as well as mad scientists and even threats from outer space.

I just love these comics.

There is actually a small element of those Blackhawk comics that survived.
A character called "Lady Blackhawk" was introduced to DC comics in the 90's (or earlier) and has served alongside a few of the superhero teams.
She's not superpowered though, she's a pilot and an adventurer, bit of a mercenary.

She's appeared in some pretty new DC comics as well.
Also the team "Blackhawks" was another fairly recent title.

Same symbol and all.
Though I suppose it's not really going to be the same vibe as the originals.

The number 1 to 107 were the best issues. The first 15 or 20 of the DC's were good but after that not the same as the original.

Isn't that usually the case.

Anyone read the John Carpenter horror graphic novel? I just found out about it last week. I'm going to hold off on it till next year.

No what are you talking about man?

Almost done with reorganizing the office and found a ton of EC Comics that I'm catching up on. They are absolutely great with peerless art, wild morality play stories (Some seriously demented plots here) and such a sense of fun. Really enjoying the CRIMESUSPENSE STORIES, but all of the titles good and much better than the TV series.

https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com...1ef493ca3e.jpg

I'm very confused because in the end of the comic before this John got arrested, yet the beginning of this one starts with ManWolf on a train?! Did I miss something?!

I've just finished Uzumaki and I loved it so much that I read it all tonight. ::smile::

I read a shitload of titles but the current favorites are All New Wolverine, Silk and A-Force. Secret Six, Clean Room and Bitch Planet are also recent favorites

Same...still.

Yes, it's interesting.
X-23 was one of the more interesting "new" Marvel creations, have followed the character on and off since the NYX title.
Even if she's only the primary character until the inevitable return of the "real" Wolverine (unless that just stays as Old Man Logan after the latest crossover debacle) I find they've introduced a pretty decent storyline to throw her into.

Another of the more interesting newer Marvel characters. Totally weird how they brought her in...yet another crossover event more annoying than good...but she was the one good thing to come out of it, even though at the same time Kaine was (again) lost. I'm probably more interested in this character, but the ongoing title would benefit from coming across as a little less cutesy I think.

Been collecting that one for a marathon.
Not sure how the new title is, but the loss of the last title was one (of many) of the things that pissed me off about the "new 52" shakeup. Same as The Outsiders. The more offbeat, "bad" or "dark" type super-teams have always made for more interesting reading if you ask me.
While on that - for me, the suicide squad used to be great but the N52 version is just fan service wankery for yet another Harley Quinn vehicle. It's still "kind of" ok, but really not all that worh reading.
Though yes, Secret Six pre-n52 was one of my favourite comics, and I'm really holding onto hope that this new one is half as good. They really made CatMan a contender...hope they keep him that way.

I've been following the new Deadpool series.
Well, it's still not like it was in the 90's...seems like the more people get on board the more they turn DP into a comedy with a touch of tragedy rather than the other way around.
Though the character has had some good development, and there was a bit of mystery to the new series - it's been nice to see some "old" characters that have all but faded into obscurity playing semi-major parts again.

One title I'm actually quite enjoying is Marvels current series of "Illuminati".
Nothing to do with the previous storylines and series by the same name.

It's basically about a b-grade-got-lucky "villain" The Hood *
Who decides to recruit other b/c-list villains, some presently in operation some retired and reformed, to take part in a masterplan/heist that will elevate their status somewhat.
That's all there's been so far really, just set up.
This is just, the one comic I'm looking forward to the most in Marvels current line.

*who I actually find to be one of Marvels most endearing characters of the last decade...yeah, he's a "bad" dude, but he's not all that eeeevil...He's cocky, and ambitious, and just, a memorable character for me.
Check out his minis and appearances prior, most don't disappoint.

The latest issue of the current run of Batman, #48.
One of the more interesting issues since the "death" of Batman/Bruce Wayne.
What a last page...

Found a assortment of FOR BETTER OR FOR WORSE anthologies. Still good, amusing and even poignant in places.

VAMPIRELLA CRIMSON CHRONICLES VOL 1. Has the Vampi stories from #1-#37 with all the great characters like Pendragon, Dracula, The Conjuress, Adam Van Helsing, etc. Although the first two stories are pretty bad, things picked up with Archie Goldwyn and especially Steve Engelhart (the two from #24-#25 still pack a punch). Amazing artwork by Tom Sutton and especially Jose Gonzalez who I feel gave Vampi her proper look.

Avengers Standoff - Welcome to Pleasant Hill.

I don't know what to say without spoiling the entire concept...but lets just say, if there's any fans of "The Prisoner", you might like this.
It's a launch/pre-issue of a cross over event that seems to span most of the current avengers related titles - so if that's a deal breaker, it is what it is.

Just yeah, I really liked what I read and look forward to seeing how it plays out.
Seems like the protagonists (or I guess antagonists?) are a couple of my favourite characters from another series I read a while back.

Gah. Read it.

The Discipline #1 comes out next week. Seems to be horror related. It might be good.

Have you ever read the Friday the 13th comics?

Yes I own a bunch of them.

MAMMOTH BOOK OF BEST HOOROR COMICS-Edited by Peter Normajon.
Pretty good anthology that starts in the very early 50's and goes to the beginning of the new century. Good throughout, but I find my interest wanes from the 80's on...maybe it's because the previous decades were such a big part of youth.
