The Comic Book Tab
OK fearless readers... Post the latest comic book stories you have read!
I just finished: http://bookdweeb.files.wordpress.com...pg?w=196&h=300 Y: The Last Man - Unmanned I love this series. Dark, dystopic, and I LOVE the inking... http://www.zaldivacomics.com/images/...28WinCE%29.jpg Y: The Last Man - Cycles The story develops more here, with knowledge of the last man's existence spreading across the world like wildfire... http://www.just-marvel-x-men.com/ima...men-13-20k.jpg Astonishing X-Men - Torn This X-men title is a Joss Whedon book, and, although I usually love his stuff, I couldn't help thinking that the guy is letting his Buffy show a bit too much. Also, one section in the book is suspiciously like an episode of BSG (A show Joss raves about in interviews). His dialogue is fun and snarky, as one would expect, but, he just needs to let go of the whole "diminutive girl saves the day" thing he is so hung up on... |
Re: The Comic Book Tab
Yay whose idea for this thread.......love it! I started reading Sandman last night and its just my speed.....dark! The story so far is pretty interesting. I must say I super love comics and never knew that the story inside of these where so deep and need I say anything about the crazy sick art work!!!!!

both series were good I'll give them |
Re: The Comic Book Tab
I've been burning through the short-lived second run of The Spectacular Spider-Man. This is my favorite presentation of Spidey ever and I really dug the way this Humberto Ramos dude drew him. It's a shame it didn't last all that long. Oh well.

Re: The Comic Book Tab
All seminal stuff, that Miller Batman.
What did you think of the inking on Y:The Last Man? I loved it! |

I've been reading the series Fables, which gets a huge thumbs up from me. |
Re: The Comic Book Tab
Oh, I liked it, as I like Joss. Still, I find myself thinking he has become predicable, which is not so cool. I feel the same about New X-men though, and I am glad Joss grabbed the torch and has Emma back where she belongs. ;) I am thinking of going back and re-reading that Morrison arc of New X-men...
Still, I thought he lifted a bit from BSG, and the artist framed the shot of all the Emmas almost exactly the same as the BSG episode when Sharon meets all the copies of herself on the Basestar. I was reminded of it instantly. I will continue to read it, though. I like Buffy better than most other entertainment, for the most part... ;) Now THAT is something I need to re-watch soon! I just FINALLY got season 7, to complete my collection! |

Re: The Comic Book Tab
I really liked the Ezekiel Spidey story that Straczynski wrote a while back, with the totems...

What did you think of the inking on Y:The Last Man? I loved it! Also, I'm assuming the inking doesn't include the colouring. |
Re: The Comic Book Tab
Same thing, or: that's what I meant, anyway. I like the whole tone of the page, which seems a tad old school, but has super saturated pages.

Re: The Comic Book Tab
Watchmen (graphic novel) Keeping my thoughts "hush hush" till I'm done, all I will say is Rory (what I call rorascrah (sp?) because that name is hard to pronounce) is a complete and total badass!http://watchmen.biz/watchmen_comic.jpg This is quite possibly the best comic being put out today. For my thoughts, click here. Punisher: X-Mas/ Silent Night http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n...0976_2_001.jpg http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n...0472_2_001.jpg What can I say, I'm a Christmas kind of guy. For X-Mas review: see HERE. Two-Face Year One: #1 http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n...07_180x270.jpg Underwelming, very much. See review: HERE. |
Re: The Comic Book Tab

Re: The Comic Book Tab
I've also been reading Y: The Last Man and I'm thoroughly enjoying it -- a very nice read.
I'm currently on volume six: Girl on Girl. http://www.coverbrowser.com/image/be...2007/215-1.jpg |
