    Vampirella looks amazing, #6 cover is gorgeous

    Comment


      Had 2 new books today as belated birthday presents
      Invincible volume 3 & a series I'd been looking to get into for a long time über volume 1



      Also [MENTION=7193]Super Grover[/MENTION] those CGC books are stunning
      Obviously Vampirella has that certain something but I'm loving that GI Joe one, absolutely stunning

        Had a couple of new Blank comic cover commisions done this month

        First up a Zatanna cover for Justice League Dark



        And then another M.A.S.K one for my ever growing collection of M.A.S.K commissions



        Love them both & are fine additions to my collection
        In fact that M.A.S.K one now makes a total of 7 commissions I've had done on M.A.S.K alone I think I have a problem

          Humble Comics Bundle: Judge Dredd, 2000 AD & More

          I wish there were some A.B.C. Warriors' comics included but deals on 2000 AD's comics don't come by often and this is their first bundle ever.

            Anyone recommend a comic/ manga to potentially give as a gift to 9-11 year old boys?
            Probably won't sort by the time of the wedding but may be a nice thing to get the nephews I rarely see this Christmas.
            Both like their football, star wars, harry potter and Marvel films.

              I got this, thanks for the heads-up.
              I'm currently working my way through Tharg's Future Shocks!

              My son is 9 and loves anything by The Phoenix.
              They have fun ones and serious ones, and there's some collections in that link.

              If it's manga specifically, you could try Initial D. I don't think there is any fruity language.
              Seems like it's a faff to get hold of these days.
              Nothing happens in the first book, so you'd probably need the first 2 or 3 to be interesting.

              Failing that, you can't go wrong with a Marvel collection.
              Probably an annual if it's Christmas.

              EDIT: Captain Underpants always raises a giggle with boys!

                Not manga, but my son (11) likes Diary of a Wimpy Kid (loads to choose from), and graphic novel wise, Alex Rider. Both easy to obtain and reasonably priced.

                  [MENTION=5941]Asura[/MENTION] LOVES the anime of Initial D, like, maybe not to Gundam level but its a big part of his early fandom.

                  I'd be disappointed if the boys had not already read Captain Underpants (still need to read/ watch that myself) and Wimpy kid as they are everywhere but apart from Harry Potter which they grew up with their granddad reading to them, I don't know how massively into books they are. Both the bloke and I loved our books as kids, before my mum moved house recently most times I visited I'd pick up my old childhood paperbacks and consume loads of them. Rarely saw me without a book or a Gameboy until I was at college.

                  I loved books and later my annuals and manga so I'd like to try and interest them in some comics. Marvel may be the way to go, might keep my eye out for Phoenix (saw some in a charity shop recently but I was in a rush)

                    Reposted from The Free Digital Stuff Thread.

                    Most, if not all, Black Panther and related comics are currently free on comiXology. Single issues only, collected editions are excluded.

                    This thread on Reddit has links to many of the comics being offered.

                      Love Advices from the Great Duke of Hell - amazing

                      Comment


                        I finished off The Walking Dead at the weekend and really enjoyed it.

                        Kirkman originally wanted the comic to run forever, but although I'm pleased a non-Marvel/DC comic managed to get such epic traction, he was probably right to call it a day.

                        It was a pretty emotional ending too after reading it for years.

                        On a different note, I read Tharg's Future Shocks from the 2000AD Humble Bundle collection, which was fun and inventive, considering how it's restricted to just a few panels each.

                          Just finished reading volume 1 of DIE & it's pretty bloody good
                          Basically it's an adult version of the Dungeons and Dragons cartoon complete with deaths & swears
                          Well worth picking up if you want something a bit different

                            Bought a few bits in Comixology sales.
                            I love me some Doctor Doom, so read Books of Doom and Doctor Doom Vol. 1 (2020).

                            I also re-read Batman: Hush, which is bloody great.
                            A big cast of villains and heroes and a big mystery to solve with some absolutely gorgeous artwork.

                            Others in the to-read list:
                            Absolute Carnage
                            Spider-Man: Red Goblin
                            Invincible Omnibus 1
                            Batman: Last Knight on Earth
                            Doomwar
                            V For Vendetta
                            Thanos Wins
                            A load of Black Panther stuff
                            Batman: The Court of Owls

                            I should try some more non-Marvel/DC, but I know those characters.

                              Not a bad list there dude

                              If you want to head out of the comfort zone then I do recommend the book I posted above - DIE
                              It's really good & definitely think the subject matter would be right up your alley

                              I've just finished this & it's good as well...pretty gory & a ton of swears but still great
