I remember very little about this graphic novel.
All I remember is a white cop married a black woman who is a mutant. There was a nighttime scene where the wife was heading to bed, and she being a mutant layed down and a cocoon surrounded her. Like a crystal cocoon.
Her husband the cop was in a separate bed all sad. And he says something along the lines of "I wish I could hold you while you sleep"
Also pretty sure it's an apocalypse comic. And help would be super cool 😎
Dark Horse has solicited The Major by Moebius for a release this summer, with the most intriguing bit for me being the full title is listed as "The Moebius Library: The Major." This seems to indicate they are going to be doing a series of releases for Moebius' various works, perhaps similar to what they're doing for Richard Corben at the moment. Anyone know if Dark Horse or anyone involved with Moebius' estate has given hints as to what else might be part of this library? I'm not on any other social media besides Reddit, and wasn't finding anything when searching online. Really hoping we might get a complete release of Blueberry through this project, but also know that's highly unlikely.
Thanks!
It’s been a little under two weeks and these are everything i’ve got so far and i’m loving it.
I was super into comics when I was younger but fell off once I was in high school. Unfortunately all of my old collection was lost to time but now i’m 23 and been looking for more hobbies and thought i’d get back in.
The department of truth was my first pickup, i’m about halfway through, loving it so far. I’ve been reading it a chapter or two at a time and I love how easy it is to read yet it’s still so entertaining and in depth in that little time. The rest I haven’t touched yet though, except for tonight and that’s partly what this post is about.
The Walking Dead came in today and after I got off work I couldn’t put it down. Finished it all tonight in one sitting and it was spectacular, so good I ordered the second book and it’s coming tomorrow. (The story with Morgan and Duane was an amazing addition too)
My worry though is the next one I get into though I won’t be reallyyy able to get into. Out of what I have right now anyone have any suggestions on what to start reading first?
Hellboy Complete Box Set, From Hell, or Berserk?
Should I finish DoT before I start something else?
Also any suggestions on what else to pick-up(horror, thriller, or drama specifically) would always be awesome.
I recently rewatched the original 3 Indiana Jones movies and quite enjoyed them. Besides the actual Indiana Jones comics since theyre stupid expensive, is there anything close to Indiana Jones?
Ok so if you like Lumberjanes you probably saw the Kickstarter for the fancy library editions. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/boom-studios/lumberjanes-10th-anniversary-complete-comic-book-library/description
How do you justify buying the pretty books? I have the first 30 issues of the comic, the graphic novel volumes, the two graphic novels books of the one shot issues.
I don't own the 3 graphic novels that were there own stories, I read them don't feel the need to own them.
I didn't know about two more comics apparently? Looking online there was an end of summer or something?
But the Kickstarter books are so fancy! They collect everything... But really only mostly. The Kickstarter will not have the Gotham academy crossover, I emailed asking since they said everything but didn't have that listed. They said they couldn't "due to licensing".
Hi everyone,
You may remember the tv show from the mid 2000s called “Who Wants to be a Superhero?”
I need help finding the comics books that were promised to the winners of the seasons.
I found the comic book for the season 1 winner, Feedback, with no issues.
I found the cover for the season 2 winner, Defuser, but I can’t find the actual book.
I cannot find anything for the British/children’s version of the show, H2O Man.
Any help is appreciated, thank you.
As the title says, do you guys have any good stories where the MC is someone who was brought back to life as a necromancer’s minion or is a necromancer themselves? Any kind of media is fine.

Star Wars the force unleashed 1 and 2 graphic novels
What series do you think could've been far greater than wherever it ended up? Series I love, as mentioned time and again, Crossed. First volume was a strong start. Family Values did the same plot again but cowboys, Psychopath was a nasty psychological thing. Then Badlands was one-hundred issues of ero-guro lazy bullshit with one good story. They focused on web comics and made their best story a weekly project, tried a movie that turned into a web series that got cancelled. Alan Moore decided to jerk off and use the pages of the Crossed franchise as a cum rag. Now the IP's in a state of limbo, publishers say 2025, new projects but the state of things... To be fair you can say all Avatar IP's have been mismanaged. Uber still hasn't finished, taking a break as long as Saga.
Super Spy and Super Spy: 2 Sisters
Read these two over the last few days.
Super Spy consists of multiple short stories which are all part of a larger narrative, set in the world of espionage during the second world war. The stories jump across characters and time (as is the case usually with these type of narratives) slowly revealing the larger story. At the end of it there is a note on how to read the stories in order (which I will have to do at some stage).
2 Sisters is a more standard narrative set in the same world (with some common characters) but even that has a few parallel narratives running through it.
Particularly stand alone graphic books? I’ve read the following from them so far: -Doll by Guy Colwell -my favorite thing is monsters by Emil Ferris -Monsterd by Barry Windsor Smith -J&K by John Pham (loved the riso inspired print) -already own and love all the Meg series by Simon Hanselmann -Ditch Life Amy Lockhart -Fante Bukowski by Noah van sciver -Love and rocks by the Hernandez brothers and other stand alones -Alienation by ines Estrada -Motel Universe by Joakim Descher (not fantagraphics but similar)
I love the Fantasgraphics underground books as well!
I’m not necessarily looking for books themed around Japan, or a journey. But non-superhero, non-horror, more literary graphic novels with a real sense of place. Any recommendations?
This is an odd question but I wanted to ask everyone's thoughts on why more American cartoonists from older generations didn't try to get work in France or Italy considering how awful the American market could get at times. I know that European artists, editors, and writers had interactions with their counterparts in the US and that some European artists got work in America but I am shocked that the reverse seemed to an ignored possibility. I know that Jerry Siegal got work writing Disney comics in the 70s but how come guys like Wally Wood, Frazetta, Gil Kane, Jack Kirby, Micheal Golden, and many others never saw the European scene as an option (if they did let me know)? What do you guys think? Also, are there any old-school American artists you think would have excelled outside of the American market?
Been anticipating the new mad max movie, I was wondering if anyone had any good suggestions to read while I wait?
Hello there! I was wondering if anybody knew of some graphic novels that have a mature story, but are PG-13 when it comes to sexual situations. Appreciation for any responses!
