Any comic shop I've gone to more than a few times generally ends up repaying my loyalty. The place I went to in college gave me a standing 10% discount, and I also got first dibs on any old stuff...

[nothing to see here]

I'm pretty it's been talked about before on this board before, but there are some artists that are downright enhanced by being in black and white. I have more appreciation for Tony DeZuniga after...

For me, Premiani is so essential to those Doom Patrol stories. The overblown situations and dialogue meshed so perfectly with his natural/realistic figures to make something that wasn't too serious...

I haven't read much Fantastic Four, and I have my doubts about it being the best anything, but I don't need anything to be objectively great. There are some works that speak to me on a very personal...

Do any posters here back any projects on Kickstarter? I bring it up mostly because I just got a movie download for backing this project. It's a really great, moody puppet horror movie (in the vein of...

I actually just picked up the Essential Dr. Strange the other day, mostly on the strength of this thread (and because it was $8). I've always been a pretty casual Ditko fan. I really like Shade the...

Hope you like it. It's one of my favorites.

The black-and-white issues don't quite hold up to the rest of the series (art and storywise), so don't be discouraged if it doesn't kick off right away.

There's an article on the main page about a new collection format from Marvel. Looks to be about Essential-sized but in color for $35-$40. Sounds like a good enough idea, but the things they've...

[This has been a just-for-Dan joke.]

We mostly use litter as a verb. In fact, when I first read your post, I imagined a polar bear hiding in cat litter, which is probably (at least in my circles) the most common usage of the word....

This is what I came here to say.

I'd also like to second Guardians of the Galaxy, both the original series and the more recent one by Dan Abnett & Andy Lanning. I haven't read the current series.

You're right. Well, I'm pretty sure you're right. I read all of Morrison's Batman up to the post-Flashpoint stuff, so, like, all but 12 issues? And no Hush. I'm pretty sure that Hush has only been in...

You seem like a really well-read guy, so there's a chance you've already seen all these, but some random suggestions off the top of my head:

Hicksville (slice of life meets comic history)...

Sorry for clipping your quote. I'm not trying to take it out of context. Just trying to save everyone from giant blocks of text.

I think that, in a percentage count, comics have probably produced...

I have to pretty regularly step back from the industry side of comics and the weekly grind and remind myself that awesome things happen. Fantagraphics released Julio's Day by Gilbert Hernandez and...

The second Foolkiller, Gregory Salinger, found/stole the equipment of the first, who appeared and died in Man-Thing. His Amazing Spider-Man appearance was a flashback. Salinger was committed during...

I really enjoyed a bunch of those comics. Both the Spider-Boy releases were great (with fun Ladronn art on Spider-Boy Team-Up), Dr. Strangefate was a beautiful book (Garcia-Lopez inked by Nowlan!),...

I didn't like Ghost Rider, True Faith, or The Boys, but Hitman is one of my favorite comics (barring the Green Lantern story in one of the early issues, which was the weakest spot in the series). I...

This is a great lead. Time to start checking the shops. Thanks!

Yeah, some maudlin's definitely good every once in a while. I know Eisner's said that he learned a lot of his posture drawing from going to plays and movies, and a lot of his stories definitely have...

That Parlov image is so good. Look at all the textures! I feel like you can trace his style, like Jordi Bernet and maybe Jacques Tardi, back to some weird collision of Alex Toth, Moebius, and Belgian...

I actually thought the same thing! It's been a long time since I read that issue, but when I looked back into it--yeah, not the same ladies.

This is maybe a weird request. A friend and I were at a coffee shop they other day, and someone (whose name I should have written down but didn't) had made small picture frames, about an inch in...

Both great books. Plastic Man by Jack Cole is easily my favorite Golden Age comic. While Eisner was very good at grounding his stories (even the more incredible ones), it would occasionally veer a...
