Gabriele Dell'Otto is a beast. Loved his Secret War too.

My vote is Immortal Hulk.

Seen the Kamala Khan Ms. Marvel series all being sold cheaply on Kindle on Amazon.com and wondering as someone whose not read a lot of her, mostly when she's appeared in other books and the stuff during Krakoa, are her series worth getting?

Picked up Vaughn Bode’s Deadbone Erotica collection and I adore the colors. Apparently his son Mark added some additional colors/inks to some of the panels, but some of the colored pieces are original works of Vaughn.

I’m wondering what exactly he (and his son?) use to achieve this look. It appears to be a mixture of alcohol markers and a water color technique. But the wash is deep like India ink. I spoke with a comic store owner and he mentioned an old technique that Vaughn may have used involving opening up the cartridges of alcohol markers and dipping a brush into the ink to paint with it. I had never heard of this technique, nor can I find any examples or discussions of it online. If anybody has insight into this coloring style of Vaughn, do tell. Thanks in advance!

I decided to start reading it since doomsday is approaching. Having a decent time. Wondering if anybody else is currently reading it cause I’ve been thinking a comic book club would be fun. Or maybe if anyone knows of online/reddit comic book clubs where folks read a run of comics together and share their thoughts.

I open this up to writers or writer/artists.

We all have our favourites and our reasons for why they represent the best of comics to us. But when they look back on their own body of work, what run/series/one-off do you suppose they themselves consider their best work?

Pick one only. You could simply offer some educated speculation, or cite a source where you‘ve actually seen the answer documented.

And does their answer match yours?

Was looking into reading The "wanted* series and was curious if it was any good? I also know that Nemesis is part of the same universe and was going to look into it but I don't want to go to YouTube and have it spoiled for me. I'm wondering what you guys think?

I know she became Mayor of Gotham in the current run close to issue 41, but are there any appearances in the other Batman families worth a read?

Just years this great song on last week’s episode of Henry Rollin’s radio show.

I recently got back into comics after being away from them for a long time, and I've been buying and reading a bunch of different stuff trying to figure out what really grabs me.

Hyde Street has probably been the biggest surprise so far. I absolutely love it. I love the Creepshow and Twilight Zone type horror, but I also really like that there seems to be a much bigger story and mythology developing behind everything. The artwork is also a huge part of why I like it. Ivan Reis' art is exactly the kind of comic art I gravitate toward. Detailed, realistic, cool character designs, good monsters, etc.

Geiger was another one I really enjoyed. One thing I'm realizing is that I like having a cool protagonist who actually drives the story forward. Introduce me to an interesting hero, give him a problem or a cool villain, let him start figuring shit out, reveal more interesting stuff about him and the world along the way, and then keep expanding on it. That's probably the easiest way I can describe what hooks me.

King Spawn really grabbed me too. I grew up loving Spawn and apparently that whole aesthetic still works on me. Demons, monsters, supernatural powers, ridiculous character designs, violence, dark atmosphere, all of that is fine with me.

I did go back and start reading the original Spawn from issue 1, though, and so far the actual story hasn't grabbed me nearly as much as King Spawn did. I'm only somewhere around issue 12 or 13, so I'm definitely willing to keep going. The artwork, character and world are still cool as hell. I just find myself wanting the story to get moving more than it has so far.

I've also started dipping my toes into the old Top Cow stuff. I recently picked up The Darkness, Witchblade and Artifacts all at once because I found them for a good price. I actually haven't read The Darkness or Witchblade yet, so I can't say they're things I know I like. I'm going to start working my way through them now. Based on the artwork, the concepts and the whole interconnected supernatural universe, I have a feeling they're going to be right up my alley, but that's still to be determined. And just to get this out of the way, I have absolutely no problem with the ridiculous 90s comic aesthetic. Muscles, sexy women, huge guns, absurd costumes, demons, violence, macho characters, whatever. None of that is going to turn me off a comic. If anything, I miss when comics were comfortable just trying to look fucking cool. I just want there to be an interesting story and world underneath all of it too.

I also REALLY like Mark Spears' Monsters. I love the artwork and the whole classic monster horror vibe. This is what initially broke open the floodgates.

Some other stuff I just picked up is Universal Monsters: Dracula, Rook: Exodus, Redcoat, and Sisterhood: A Hyde Street Story, but I haven't read enough of those yet to really have an opinion.

I checked out Something Is Killing the Children because it keeps getting recommended whenever horror comics come up. The premise sounds like something I would probably like, but I looked through the interior pages and the artwork just doesn't do much for me. That's probably important because I'm realizing that art matters a lot to me with comics. I generally like detailed, realistic, gritty comic art. I'm much less interested in really loose, simplistic or cartoony looking art.

That's also why I'm not necessarily looking only for horror. Sci fi, fantasy, supernatural, action, adventure, superheroes, antiheroes, whatever. I'm pretty open. Horror just happens to be where I've found a lot of stuff I like lately.

Basically, I want something where I'm occasionally turning the page and thinking, "Holy shit, that's fucking cool." Give me great artwork, interesting characters, cool villains or monsters, a world I want to know more about, and an ongoing story that keeps revealing more of it. It doesn't need to be high literature. I'm completely fine with pulpy, violent, sexy, macho, ridiculous or over the top. I just want it to be good.

So what should I be reading? And if possible, tell me why you're recommending something instead of just listing titles. I'm also a big fan of collected editions, compendiums and omnibuses rather than tracking down a million individual issues.

Thanks and have a blessed day

Just getting back into comics after finding my old ones from when I was a kid. How are we displaying them. Any recommendations for wall frames that don’t cost more than the actual comics. specifically silver bronze and golden age. Right now I just have them in 8x11 picture frame but I fear this will damage them and some are semi expensive.

So far, I own:

All No Man's Land Omnis

Morrison Batman Omnis

Old Man Logan Hardcover

Superman Birthright Deluxe

Superman All-Star Deluxe

We3 Deluxe

Kingdom Come TPB

Under The Red Hood Deluxe

What should I pick up next? Open to any format; I'm interested in exploring lots of new characters, but also getting a deeper understanding of the characters I've read above.

Does anyone know where I can find winx comic in Greek and if anyone has some maybe I could buy them because the price tags in the Greek comics that I have seen are ridiculously, like I remember comic #6 listed for 85€

August was a great month with so many amazing books and some incredible covers! I'm curious to know what some of your favorites were. I was able to narrow it down to a top 5 with a few honorable mentions because it truly was a treasure trove kind of month for covers.

^my honorable mentions include Chuma Hill's variant for Absolute Catwoman #3 (Selina is striking a pose for the gods!), Bruno Redondo's variant for Zatanna #5 (magical cover, no pun intended), Skottie Young's variant for Spider-Man/Hulk Fire and Brimstone #1 (the book was meh if I'm being honest, but I'm always here for a fun Skottie Young cover) and finally a Juni Ba variant for Power Rangers Green #1 (as a lifelong Power Rangers fan, this is a beautiful and serene tribute to the OG green ranger, Tommy aka Jason David Frank).

^At #5 is the A-cover for M1 Monster Racing League #3 by Jae Lee. The book itself is beautifully illustrated and the story, while giving mini CW-vibes, is fun and I'm curious to see where it's headed. The art on this book though has just been peak and this cover is giving horror and racing all in one!

For #4, I had to go with the Terry Dodson variant on Absolute Wonder Woman #23. I've loved how Thompson and Sherman have presented every member of the Greek pantheon thus far so it's of course no surprise that their design for Ares is just incredible. He's menacing but regal, a true threat of violence but something remains sophisticated while your insides are torn asunder. Peak art!

^For the 3rd spot, I'm proud to add another Daniel Warren Johnson variant to my collection! While I haven't been reading Harley Quinn (this was #65 for reference), I couldn't resist his celebration of The Dark Knight Returns showing Batman squaring off against the Mutant Gang. DWJ never misses, and every time he draws Batman something within me is stirred.

Meanwhile, #2 is for my current GOAT's variant of Absolute Superman #22. Juan Ferreyra is just delivering at every level. His pencils on the interiors of this book are phenomenal. I love his style and OH MY GOD does the man understand the creative utility of paneling. This issue in particular had some incredible use of panels for storytelling and it's beyond reproach IMO. Buuut this is supposed to be about this beautiful cover. I feel like it speaks for itself but c'mon, Superman picking himself back up while the threat of Metallo looms above, the yellow sky and the menacing green glow? I'm living for this cover and won't be surprised is another Ferreyra variant finds itself on this list at the end of September!

^I won't lie, that Ferreyra cover kept creeping its way up to the top but when I looked at my physical books all lined up, this Skottie Young variant for Miles Morales Spider-Man #1 is just crisp and clean and perfect in every sense of the word. Miles just hanging out in Brooklyn, listening to music, all in that toony Young style?! Chef's fucking kiss! Considering I don't have many Marvel books on my pull list right now, this cover alone convinced me to keep going. The book itself was fun so I'm actually curious to see where things go in #2. But Skottie Young is on a run with his Marvel covers lately and I know this is going to be one of those covers I have that I'll be eager to get his signature on one day. ICONIC!

So that's my list; hope you're down to share a few of your favorites before September's releases come out and take over!

I’ve just signed up to dc on finite to read the Geoff johns green lantern run. I currently read the absolute lines in physical from my local shop.

What other runs/stories etc should I look to read on the app? My DC knowledge is limited to Batman, 52 and that there are crisis events fairly frequently!

So I just found out that John Byrne started drawing and writing his own X Men story? Like not involved with marvel or nothing just him. It got inked and printed in this hardcover here and officially published NOT by Marvel. If you guys have read it, what do you think?

Does anyone know some online comic shops with international shipping other than mycomicshop

I want one that has stock of tpbs epic collections and single issues

And I want a store that can be trusted

Any help is appreciated❤️💜

I got tired of squinting at web comics, so I built a viewer that zooms into speech bubbles 

Hey everyone!
I've been working on Comic Bubbles (comic-bubbles.vercel.app), a lightweight web app designed to fix a major headache in digital comic reading: tiny, unreadable dialogue on smaller screens.
Instead of constantly pinch-zooming the entire page back and forth, the app acts as a dedicated comic viewer that allows you to zoom into individual speech bubbles for effortless reading.
Key Features:

• Upload/view comic pages cleanly in your browser
• Interactive bubble zooming so you never have to strain your eyes reading dialogue
• Simple, distraction-free reading interface (no signups or downloads required)

What’s next / What I’m figuring out:

• Improving bubble-detection/selection mechanics for smoother navigation
• Refining mobile touch controls for one-handed reading
• Finding the right distribution channels (webtoon readers, manga fans, indie comic communities)

I’d love for you to try it out on a few comic pages and share your thoughts on the UX, performance, or features you'd like to see added next!

A number of older books I bought (around 90) have a watery smell that i can only smell when I put my nose directly up to them. My question is are they alright to keep and what if anything should I do about the smell? It's not an overwhelming or strong smell so I'm a bit unsure.

Thank you in advance.

Hey everyone, I’ve never been a huge Green Lantern fan but Absolutr Green Lantern and Lanterns has me wanting to check out the series. I understand the modern lore for the Lanterns was established in Johns’ run.

Is it a good run to start with or are there earlier runs I should read to better understand the characters?
