Possibly the sickest evil plan ever seen in a Mickey Mouse comic (from "Mickey's Dangerous Double", by Bill Walsh & Floyd Gottfredson).

Looking for recommendations....

I'm looking for either comics books, webcomics, graphic novels, anything focus on adventure and fantasy but my main interest is something that focus on a group not on a single main character, getting sick of the main character syndrome, the op main hero, so I would love to read about companionship, teamwork, human struggle, laughs, tears and all that, let me know if you have something you can recommend!

If you feel you have something that is not adventure / fantasy but want to recommend that's fine, I happily will check it out, as long as you tell me why you love it!

All answers are highly appreciated!

Search by Tags

I'm both Manga and Comicbook reader, I love both.

I know a lot of Manga websites that let you search for manga by tags.

Example, Time Travel, comedy, demons...

Or things like complete, on going, full color...

But I never saw a website like that for comicbooks, do you know anyone?

Recommendations?

I was wondering if anyone had some suggestions for comic series I could get into. Mainly I’ve been reading Image stuff (Top 3 Include Invincible, Radiant Black and Black Science) but I’m into DC and Marvel as well, just not really sure where to jump in. I’m interested in the recent-ish DC Dark Knights metal/death metal events, and Marvels King in Black storyline (huge venom fan). On the image front I’m probably going to get Geiger, and maybe more of the Massive-verse books. I’ve considered Hellblazer because it fits my interests and I liked constantine on the cw. Any recommendations for me based on this information? for reference i’d prefer something I could collect as a compendium or TPs.

What's a Comic You Like, Even If It Doesn't Stick With You?

I'm currently reading Something is Killing the Children Vol 7. I picked up Vol 8 this past week and re-reading 7 to remind myself where things left off.

Since a new volume only comes out maybe twice a year, I find I need to re-read the previous volume or two of SIKTC to "catch up."

I still very much enjoy the series. It deserves all the awards given to it. Yet, I find I rarely think about it after reading the latest volume. I'm completely engrossed WHILE reading it, and can't put it down. But after that? It doesn't really stay with me in any meaningful way like other comics or even other mediums. So when a new volume comes out, I need to revisit the last volume or even restart the whole storyline across multiple volumes.

I've had it happen a few other times in recent years. Birthright and Deadly Class come to mind.

Have you ever experienced that? You enjoy the comic, could help tons of praise on it, but find very little of it stays in your head after reading it?

The Henchman series - check it out!

If you've never heard of "The Henchman" comics, you're totally missing out! There are 7 issues already available!

This is the story about the guy who worked as a henchman in a supervillain's organization, but got kicked out when his boss got caught. So he decides to do something about it while planning his biggest heist yet.

It also has an interesting take what it feels like to be an invincible hero who is in fact very much vulnerable.

If you want the chance to get a free comic (#1) that I worked on as a colorist (one of the most fun I did) and help this project and its spinoffs to succeed in the future (like crowdfunding, etc.), subscribe to Greg's Substack! https://substack.com/@underlingentertainment

Captain Planet

I know there are Captain Planet comics, does anyone know if any volumes have been released? What I mean is like issue 1-5 in one book? I know the comics are so old from like 1991. I don't think they will re-relase them at any point, but I would like to get my hands on some issues or volumes!

How to value obscure comics?

hey everyone! i picked a really really cool copy of a Preview for WW#90 (the first Artemis). it was a sick magazine-sized artist-proof “ashcan” that got sent to select retailer months before the issue came out. it is essentially the full issue with the dimensions of the original art and without the colour yet!

only thing is because of its obscurity, there is absolutely ZERO info about it anywhere. the only thing i’ve seen is one random eBay sale for $80 a few months ago and the hopeful steal that i got it for ($25) haha. so how would you guys determine value on it? thanks!!

Is Alfred possibly the most unproblematic character in all of comics?

Just think: Who could possibly say something bad about Alfred Pennyworth? Without him and Joe Chill there is no Batman. He's not just a butler, he's the man that stepped up to raise a billionaire orphan and didn't take advantage of that.

To my knowledge, he's never done anything past or present that could be considered more than morally ambiguous at best. I'm not sure there's any comic character that has a completely clean history, but Alfred has to be near top of this list. Even other superheroes love him as well.

He may be a butler, but I've never seen anyone serve harder
