Sperg about comic books here

I dunno if anyone else has a "comfort food" comic/storyline but JLA/Avengers is definitely my go to for that.

I have a few. JLA: Heaven’s Ladder, because it really approaches the faiths of the various Leaguers without being dismissive or disrespectful. Spurrier’s run on X-Men: Legacy, because it gave us such a sweet romance for Legion and Blindfold. Of course, the Prime issue of Death Metal where he lets it all go finally. And I forget the issue number, but that one post-Our Worlds at War Superman issue where he gives the villains a one-time second chance offer.

Also since people brought up Byrne, what are your thoughts on his Generations book?

The first mini was fun, never read the others. I liked the Ultra-Humanite reveal, and the fact his Batman/Captain America crossover fits in between issues. Not really a fan of how Lana was revealed as immortal at the last minute, nor how we had a Bruce, Jr but no Helena.

You even have white characters being racist in Africa in a colonial era, and white only hotels and stuff like that for a bonkers sci-fi french story.

The recent Black Panther comic had a white man being BP.

Its more believable for Ryan Gosling to be Black Panther in the MCU than the Odyssey.

I reread JLA/Avengers for the millionth time and it's nice to be reminded why you love comics by reading something that has love and passion on it in literally every page and panel. Also, now that I think about it, JLA/Avengers is probably the comic that made me a fan of "old" comics considering it's very old school and a love letter to silver/bronze age sensibilities. It' also gave Hal Jordan a really nice redemption arc/closure since this was in the era post him going nuts in the 90s and becoming The Specter. I dunno if anyone else has a "comfort food" comic/storyline but JLA/Avengers is definitely my go to for that.

Marvel Transformers (1984)
That was THE book for me.
The current Skybound/Image TF run is really good too.

Kingdom Come, I like the Book of Revelation theme, I like the background lore and Superman having every excuse to break and still trying to hold it together is a pick me up.

Like at the end he’s about to Omni-Man the planet but before that Clark is just beaten down by everything, even his best friend laughs in his face…… and he still tries to hold the world together. It’s honestly one of the best showings of Superman being a flawed man, being the larger than life ideal, then being an asshole to Magog in private and then his thing with Diana, he’s just a man, doing an impossible, thankless job, one last time.

I dunno, when I get beaten down, Kingdom Come is an optimism pill. Two friends of mine asking me to be godfather to their kid also makes the ending feel hit close to home.

Kirkman really tanked it, eh?

Have you read it?
It's light-years above some of the absolute dog shit IDW was putting out.
It made me fall in love with the whole franchise again.

I've only read the first six issues of the DWJ stuff and then the first six issues of the Kirkman stuff because Dan Mora was on art. Honestly, Kirkman did some good character work with that guy joining the Autobots

Read Comics Online is back for now but they got another domain too.

I was browsing twitter and remember some brazilian site that used to translate european comics into portuguese and holy fuck.

Lots of stuff that english only peasants will never be able to read and stuff that back then I thought: man it would be nice to read it and now I can.

I am more happy than a chick in the trash.

They also made me remember how long some series are. Order of Dragon Knights, Aquelonia (elfs, orcs, dwarves), chronicles of blackmoon.

It really makes me wonder why I never see people talking about stuff like this in this very thread

I have a few. No Man's Land is how I got into comics so that run is one I love, and Paul Dini's Detective Comics run is one I can reread over and over. Ultimate Spider-Man was also one of my first so that up to The Death of Spider-Man, I don't generally read the Miles Morales stuff because it just didn't grab we the same way. For the indies, it's Scott Pilgrim. Manga, Dragonball and Black Cat.
