Hello! A few months ago I went to a comic shop and the guy told me about a horror comic that features a woman detective/cop. I think it involved cults because I was asking about that, but I cant remember. But I think he mentioned that cops are murdered.

It was a stand alone graphic novel. I remember the cover was red and black with a woman on it.

Does this ring a bell? I cant seem to find it with google or doing keyword searches in this group.

Thank you!

Hey All,

Re-reading Anne Nocenti’s Daredevil run for the umpteenth time, and it gets better every time I read it. Any other recs from her? I know she has some good titles with Berger Books over at Dark Horse.

I remember reading this zombie graphic novel at Barnes and noble when I was younger I couldn’t tell you the name but I’d love to read it again. I remember it was very graphic and didn’t shy away from nudity either. More specifically I do remember a scene where a young couple was getting busy in a blue Volkswagen and got attacked by zombies. Past that I couldn’t tell you much but if anyone knows what it’s called or has any suggestions of something similar please let me know.

I came across this ‘folk horror’ graphic novel a few years ago. It was the account of tourists who had visited a middle-European village. Every year the villagers assembled a giant puppet man, which using pulleys and villagers as power moved through the fields and roads. It was like a tower of people, but given a humanoid structure.

Another village also formed one of these ‘puppets’ and some sort of competition ensured. The story concludes with an accident in which many villagers die under a mechanical failure of one of the puppets. The other puppet mourns the one that ‘died’, and wanders into the distance with each of its village members essentially accepting their collective death. The individual being mechanically subsumed under the manifest ‘body politic’.

I recall it being written in English and the ‘tourists’ featured were possibly American, although I came across it in a comic library in Germany. Surely someone knows this?

Pocket full of dreams

The script is done, I'm quite happy about it. It's about a girl dealing with agoraphobia, alcoholism and loneliness meeting with an old friend to explore her anxieties and her place in life.

I am a professional artist but I still get some imposter syndrome from time to time. Tell me if this looks good/bad or whatever in between.

Was thinking stuff like Universal War One and Aama but not sure they really fit the bill. I’m not saying it’s 100% necessary to write good hard SF but Watts, Egan, Reynolds, Liu all have advanced degrees of some sort. I feel like a graphic equivalent must exist but I just can’t think of one.

Just a very lighthearted, fun and emotional love story, possibly with historical fiction elements like the TJR stuff. Most graphic stuff just seems to tend a little too heavy. Just a quick note here, before anyone recommends it, that I’ve read Strangers in Paradise and it’s probably not what I’m looking for here.

Looking to start something new. Heres what I’m thinking about, but will take anything into consideration.

-Something is killing the children -The invisibles -The Manhattan projects -What’s the furthest place from here -Descender

Finished the first chapter, can't way for my ride back.

These are literally all new releases for the same ‘collection’ DC compact, and they’re already messing up the labels lol. First world problems.

Picked up the fourth volume of the Fantagraphics Atlas Comics Library, this time dealing with the first 8 issues of War (or War Comics or War War Comics).

It was Marvel's first foray into the genre just as the Korean War was kicking off so we get a mix of Korean War/WWII stories. It doesn't have the same all-star artist line-up that Battlefield had, but does have Gene Colan and Russ Heath, so I'm looking forward to reading it all the same.

Can anyone tell me the best place to jump on DD? I've seen some of the Gigi Cavenago art over the years and wanted an english language album/book (as well as the batman crossover)

But is there somewhere best to start or even further back at all?

When I was in elementary school, there was a choose-your-own style graphic novel series (although I can only remember two) that was horror focused and illustrated. I have been trying to find these books for 10+ years with no luck. Here’s what I remember (keeping in mind these are the memories of a child, from long ago):

One of them was about a group of people (kids? Young adults? Who knows?) in a car and they come across a haunted house/mansion that they get split up in. Typically spooky but with so many options for where the story goes, and I believe the objective was to stay alive from the main character’s point of view.

The second was about a kid who steps inside a (mushroom?) circle and gets taken by fae or fairies and has to go through magical fantasy things that are less horror, but still life or death, and still a little spooky.

I remember the illustration of these being so beautiful, and so expressive and the characters were all stylized in this really nice and specific way- they’re part of what drove me to the arts. My memory could be lacking in some aspects but if you think you’ve heard of these, please let me know!!

**EDIT: I FOUND THEM it’s the Twisted Journeys Series specifically The Goblin King and Terror in Ghost Mansion

Hi everyone, just after a bit of advice. My husband is wanting to sell some of his graphic novels and was wondering if there's any sites that are worth checking out? Thanks

What recent graphic novels/comics (excluding Marvel) do you predict (or hope) will manifest a show/movie?

I made a similar post in r/4kbluray. I have become an avid physical media collector this past year, and need to stop spending so much. I need to finish my backlog before buying more, so this is my way of forcing myself to finish it. I've written a list of what I have, and I'm looking for recommendations of what to read first. I know some of these are "essentials" I should have started with, but I just never got around to them for one reason or another.

My backlog:

Akira (Box Set)

Snow Piercer (Complete Box Set)

Watchmen

Batman: Year One

The Dark Knight Returns

The Long Halloween, Dark Victory, Haunted Knight

Vagabond (3 in 1 volumes 1-12)

Bone (I've read this many times, I just want to read it again)

The Last Ronin

Manga as well. Thank you
