jyoni 553,848 Posted January 8, 2011 I started Transmetropolitan. Everything is really good, the writing honestly matchless. But the really abruptly rapt moments for me were in the art. I don't know what struck me most: The cat (uuuuuugh), the bearded lady, or the first panel showing the Revivals. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jyoni 553,848 Posted January 9, 2011 lul, third post in a row. Just a heads up that Vertigo is now starting letter columns for each title. Baeyer-Drewson, have you read Yoshihiro Tatsumi? Really haunting with some chilling war-era stuff. Banality gone horrific and miserable. http://www.amazon.com/Good-Bye-Yoshihiro-Tatsumi/dp/1897299370 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Baeyer-Drewson 2,189,730 Posted January 11, 2011 Thanks for the heads-up, jyoni! I have read The Pusher Man and Other Stories and it was pretty amazing. So much emotion in those panels, something I rarely get from manga/comics. I have just added Abandon the Old in Tokyo and Good-Bye to my bookdep wishlist. Thanks! 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jyoni 553,848 Posted January 11, 2011 I suspected you might be dipping into it already, haha. It's good shit. People like Nakazawa may be seminal but yeah...this stuff is on its own tier. **Christ, I just wiki'd that guy to check in on the Barefoot Gen sequel. He has retired because of diabetes and cataracts. There will be no continuation 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Boardish 5,158 Posted January 31, 2011 I've never read any comics, but I would like to pick up one. Any good recommendations? I know there must be a lot of choice, but something that would make me love comics I guess! Thanks 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was looking at picking that up and was curious as to whether or not it was worth it. i am three pages in, ha! i've read everything D&Q has reissued in Tezuka's back catalog so i guess i am a bit of a fanboy i picked it up at the library probably your best bet, if you are worried about committing the scratch 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jyoni 553,848 Posted April 1, 2011 How is Scalped? It's superb. It did lag a bit for me at one point, around the time Jason Aaron was getting hit with a ton of Marvel stuff. But it's his baby. He isn't going to lose control of it, and it's always been quite good at worst. It's evolved nicely beyond its original premise. He'll digress now and then with tales of elderly couples, gays, kids, more of a fuller picture. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ke1 390,006 Posted April 3, 2011 ^^I remember when I barely found out about TWD a year ago, and my friend had the entire series up to that point. The comfort and easy in which I went from one issue to another is something I miss so goddamn much. Recently picked up Nemesis. The artwork is just my type, and the story is pretty original, but I'm not sold on the dialogue. Also just started Lone Wolf & Cub, quite interesting. I've also got the entire Neil Gaiman works just sitting on my computer, should get around to it... 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
