Reading the novel The Great When by (graphic novel luminary) Alan Moore, and getting a feeling I remember from reading Cavalier and Clay by Michael Chabon (a novel all about two American comic book creators). To writ: some specific sections of this written book would benefit from being told as a comic book. For one it would help them further stand out within the narrative (as seems to be the author’s intention). In addition, the language and pacing of these sections suggest (to me) a desire to “show (not tell)” that a good illustrator could lend a hand with. Whether or not the authors of these novels (or you, reader) agree with my assessment, I can’t even think of another book to compare my idea to. Has anything been published in this liminal-media format? Anyone know of a(ny) title(s)?

Very excited to read all of McFarland’s Spider-Man finally. I read all of SIKTC in tp form, just got book 2 since I have book 1 and love the series. I also wanna start collecting the essentials for the Krakoa era, if anyone has suggestions on the ones I should pick up, would be much appreciated.

Looking forward to sew how Marvel Knights does the FF! Been really getting into the team this year and living my journey so far! Hopefully, this run is satisfying!

I just read the new Ultimate Spiderman and I’m excited to see where this goes. Cause honestly most new marvel comics I haven’t enjoyed. Do you guys think this new Ultimate line will be as good as before?

I've been stricken with indecisiveness when it's coming to what new to me comics I want to potentially buy for this Black Friday sale. (It's down to me picking tfaw.com or OrganicPricedBooks.com, for what it's worth)

I'm 100% getting American Vampire and thinking about Planet Hulk and All-Star Superman. Those are some of my first comics I got into. Those are good examples of what I'm looking for when I want to read something new. I'm mainly looking for adventure books (namely planet hopping space travel scifi and/or gigantic magic world fantasy). What I'm not looking for is DC's big 2 (besides ASS, ofc. Wonder Woman is a maybe, especially since there was this one Gothic book where she teamed up with Batman that looked incredible a few years ago) or any of Marvel's big characters, because that's too obvious/I probably already read them. I'm definitely including indie comics, I love them to pieces and the even bigger thing I'm not looking for is a comic that's too raunchy or creepy (basically do not recommend Saga. Just no)

Im sorry for the long rant, I'm also rambling bc this is the first Black Friday where I can actually afford something. Also, I love Marvel's Annihilation. My favorite Marvel cosmic book (unless Planet Hulk counts???). And I love comics with charismatic humor. Also, I'll take crime books with a lot of crime committed recommendations. I loved The Eagle & The Snake which is a multiple bank heists/MMA comic book. Edit: and now Organic's sale is over

I love Herge and Moebius’ visual style and I know Owen d Pomery uses this style in the excellent Hard Switch. Just wondering if anyone can recommend other works in this style aside from the older works that actually created it

I finally finished the last part of Cerebus, kinda. Latter Days has some of the best artwork and lettering I have ever seen! The story however was nonsensical and boring. Around 30% into Latter Days, I just stopped reading the text and just admired the art and lettering. The books is borderline unreadable and Dave got really crazy with religion (being religious doesn't make you crazy. Dave was crazy and became religious)already knew the main plot points due to video essays. The Last Day was WAY better. The art and lettering was excellent as always but the first 40 or so pages had a crackpot theory that had nothing to do with the story, so I skipped that section. The story ended in the best way Dave could have ended it at that point in the story. The last issue was really good. My rankings for Latter Days is a 1/5. My rankings for The Last Day is 3/5. Do I recommend Cerebus? Depends on which parts. The whole series, not unless you want to see art and lettering improve and to see a creator slowly lose his mind. Do I regret reading Cerebus? Definitely not. The high points are peak, but the low points are really low. But the art always improves and makes the low points bearable.

I'm pumped to read the classic Superman stories!

What’s up everybody! So I’ve been getting into comics more lately and have noticed that I love mostly the themes noted above because it helps my creative writing and philosophical thinking. Would you guys be able to recommend some books on the topics and also some pretty cool science books? Like any good FF series?

dont mind the (textual?) novels haha, this was a return after almost a year long slump, so its mostly rereads of favourites (the superman books, dark victory) but Darth Vader was new and im happy to say is my first “big” run i’ve read

This is something I wish every single mom and pop comic store did but I understand if they just choose not to. Plus even if they do participate, most of the time it's just: 10% off everything except single issues but better than nothing I guess.

I have been collecting for about a year now, it is in alphabetical order, Description go brrr

Howiya lads, got a nice haul this month so far(there's still time fore more!). I've started on Preacher already at the recommendation of a friend and it's great so far.

I haven't heard of Ex Machina or Old Dog before but I'm a big Vaughan fan anyway, and I always like to support fellow Irishman Shalvey.

I've heard of Isola, and actually got a signed art print by the artist from an image comics humble bundle years ago, but wondering what people think of it?

I'd like to start collecting preacher. As I understand it there are the 9 trades, 6 books or the omnibus.

I'd like to go down the 6 books route as I've heard some of the trades can be hard to find. But I'm struggling to work out if I'm looking at the book or the trade when I search on Google. I don't want to accidentally order a trade.

I love collecting thick books, and recently discovered The Essential Sunwell Collection by Richard A. Knaak, its 600 pages, so it got me wondering if their are any other videogame graphic novels that also have a lot of pages? I know of the Witcher omnibus's and the mass effect collection, any other ones out there?

Sorry if I am missing this question many times over, but what do you think is Lynda Barry's best work*, and/or is there a consensus?

I know ONE HUNDRED DEMONS and WHAT IT IS, and I liked both of them.

* (or your favorite)

Edit: My clumsy phrasing makes it kind of sound like I am asking for people's preferences between ONE HUNDRED DEMONS and WHAT IT IS, but those two are just the only ones I know. I was curious if there was a "next place to go" from there. For example, if there are any collections at least as strong as those two, if not even better.
