Comic Books

A place to discuss comic books of all types, from old to new, Big 2 to indie, and everything in between.

Floppies, graphic novels, compilations, omnibusses (omnibusi?) are all fair game.

There is only one rule:*

Comic Books is a no judgement zone.

You can talk all you want about how Rob Liefeld is trash, Bob Kane is an asshole, or Frank Miller and Dave Sim’s politics have made them toxic, that’s all good.

If, however, another user is LEGITIMATELY a fan of something you don’t like, that does NOT make them a lesser person. Attack the art for being bad, not the person for being a fan of bad art.

* I lied. There are TWO rules... No piracy. Cover shots? That's good. Interior pages, in moderation? Sure. Full books? Links to pirate sites? That's how we get things shut down. :(

I'm not saying it's been a problem, because it hasn't been.

Apart from the licensed comics like Plants Vs. Zombies and Call of Duty: Zombies and maybe also ZombieWorld with Mike Mignola I don't any other series in the genre.

ZombieWorld could be a fun read, though.

Yeah, it's mainly licensed work (there's also Dead Island) and the occasional shambler showing up in other series (like Criminal Macabre, The Goon, etc). Mignola is only part of the Zombieworld series of limited editions but they know what sells, so his is sold separately. It's a lesser work and he isn't on art duties but if you are jonesing for more from him then this the next stop. I've also read the others (in the Winter's Dregs collection) and they are fine but there are likely better zombie comics out there - I largely read it for the Pat Mills and John Hicklenton as the latter died too early and his art is out there but there is so little of it you have to hunt down what there is (the story is suitably over-the-top, so I wasn't disappointed).
