Brazilian reissue
Just bought Where The Body Was by Ed Brubaker and Sean Phillips. Any thoughts? Is it as great as their other works?
I'm quite new into graphic novels and I don't know what everyone calls good or not, I've read the boys ( I enjoyed it) and currently reading preacher, I've also started the millerworld collection ( nemesis, kickass and wanted) but would like to know what everyone would recommend. Thanks Edit: if you could share links to buy comics/graphic novels I'd highly appreciate it, I only use Amazon or I have to go to London which is quite far.
Out of the three current Ghost Machine titles this one is my favourite. Some nice world building and great character designs. This issue really opens up the world showing us a lot more Wardens (if only for a panel each) and the possibilities of potential stories on Exodus. Fabok’s art makes this a gorgeous book to look at and I’m excited for the battle between the six wardens next issue.
GONKBONK REVIEWS: VOID RIVALS #10
After a year’s worth of solid releases, Skybound’s Energon Universe has been on an incredible run. It’s always great to catch up on Void Rivals, the series that kickstarted the whole initiative. With issue #10 comes big revelations that strengthen the universe’s connections more than ever.

Review:
Getting to see a Transformer in action in Lorenzo De Felici’s fantastic art style already makes the price of the comic more than worth it already. But the flashy and fast-paced action is only the tip of the iceberg. The issue delivers plenty of great interactions between Darak, Solila, and Springer, making me very happy with the dynamic the fan-favorite Autobot brings to the table.
After a year of great storytelling across different comics, it’s fun to see the development of the Energon Universe paying off in spades. The shared universe feels as robust as ever with all the connections sprouting across the comics. In a way, these deeper connections add a layer of unpredictability because so many possibilities now feel like they can happen. It leaves a die-hard fan like myself extremely excited for what’s to come down the line. Robert Kirkman and Skybound are cooking up something fierce with the Energon Universe, and this issue adds another crucial piece to the big picture they are putting together.
Why You Should Read Void Rivals
Man, both issues were incredible this month! Loving both of these series. Too bad that W0rldtr33 goes on a hiatus for a while.
What did everyone else think.
Hi I’m looking for recommendations for new comics/graphic novels to read. Currently about to finish chew which I have loved. I have looked into farmhand too which is by the same person? Any good?
I also love Invincible and walking dead amongst others! Looking for some new material!
All recs welcome!
GONKBONK REVIEWS: SELF HELP #1
While California noir is not a genre I typically explore, I’m a sucker for character-driven comics that mix a bit of crime with comedy. After diving into Self Help #1, I can safely say that the charming new series delivered much more than I expected.

Review:
Self Help’s solicitation labels the comic series as a “California noir”, hinting at a unique and pulpy drama set in the sunny streets of Los Angeles. But if you were to come into the comic completely blind, you wouldn’t immediately think its story develops into a crime drama from its mundane yet charming intro. Instead of jumping straight into the crime shenanigans, most of the first issue focuses on introducing readers to the main characters’ quirks through snippets of their daily lives. Only at the end of the comic does it show what the characters are like when push comes to shove, which leads to the story’s big twist.
With Self Help being such a character-driven story, the art team does a fantastic job bringing the characters and setting to life. With unique colors setting the scene’s mood and loud fonts accentuating characters' stage presence, the art team doing what they do best to deliver a great character-defining moment.
After its solid first issue, the comic has the potential to be a sleeper hit from Image Comics this year. If you're looking for a refreshing change of pace from the usual comic book fare, Self Help offers plenty of fun when you dive into it.

Title says it all. I gather there will be paperbacks, but I'm curious if anyone knows about the hardcovers be printed past the Kickstarter.

Never been a huge G.I Joe fan but I have always thought that Scarlett was always underused and under appreciated. She doesn’t show up nearly enough in the comics anymore. Energon universe has been good so far. Hoping to see more of her there at the least

Its melding of superhero tropes with deep psychological exploration, backed by Sam Kieth's enduring art style, made “The Maxx” a standout series of its time.
