I just finished reading a graphic novel series called Y: The Last Man. It's exactly what it sounds like, but things don't happen the way you think they would. I highly recommend it.

Currently reading:
Ultimate Spiderman
Bat-girl
X-men vs Avengers (So awesome)

Reading 100 Bullets,Ultimate Spider-man and just

100 bullets it's really one of the best comic books
actually.

Again I must apologize for the bump, but I was just about to make a Comic book thread when the rules got the better of me and I typed it into the search box, and since this thread has been dead for half a year I figured I'd just post here to see what some of our newer members have to say about this.

Anyhoo, I just finished reading the first Scott Pilgrim Graphic novel, and it is really fantastic, better than the movie if I do say so myself. Now I have the second and third iterations waiting at the library, which I forgot closes for the weekend until about twelve minutes after they closed for the weekend. Sadness.

I haven't read much manga recently, but... I started checking out some of DC Comics' catalog of stuff like Before Watchmen.

I love comics! I read pretty much whatever as long as it interests me. Bleach has started to bore me because of how damn repetitive it is. I just wish this current story arc would end so I can stop buying them.

On top of that, I'm currently reading Naruto, One Piece and Gon. Then, when I occasionally go to a comic store, I usually buy a new issue of Scott Pilgrim, Highschool of the Dead, The Ring, Hellsing, Ghost in the Shell and/or a new Street Fighter manga. I recently got into Deadpool, too. Should propably find myself the collected edition of Deadpool and Cable when I have the time. Oh, and I read Vagabond and Gantz whenever my friend buys a new one.

I'm really sad that they cancelled the Disgaea manga...

I posted my collection previously on the collections thread but here it is again:

I just realised that Eidos published RE3 on PC.

They did? *looks at the PC game box* Huh. Indeed they did. The more you know, I guess.

On another note, what did this have to do with manga and comics? Big Grin

I guess I'll go check it at the local library.

RE: Comic Books/Manga - retrolinkx - 01-21-2013 03:47 AM

I don't read much, but I did read a few manga's.

I read Happy World to the end, and I'm currently reading "It's not my fault that I'm unpopular".

Comic wise, I read a lot of Beano, and Dandy when I grew up, since it was once a week, along with 200 page annuals a year which was always great.

The last comic I read was a Batman comic, according to my brother, it was the first chronological appearance of the Joker.

Also, somehow while I was writing this, I did not misspell chronological, but misspelt appearance...?

Well, turns out they only had issues up till the end of 2011. Sad face.

RE: Comic Books/Manga - Sirion - 02-08-2013 03:12 PM

Some months ago I started reading Batman comics, taking advantage of the New 52 reboot (so I didn't really need to know a lot about past events), but close to the year's end, it started being a little harder for me to keep buying the comics. I read the main Batman magazine until issue #13, I think, and Detective Comics and Batman The Dark Knight until #6 or #7.

Now I started reading Spiderman and Ultimate Marvel. Here, the #700 issue hasn't launched yet, but it's close (maybe some 3 or 4 more months).

But I'm still kinda new to these mainstream hero comics, and there's a lot I don't understand yet. Who knows someday, when I have had read an entire Marvel mega event or something like that... (I have to finish reading the Civil War, btw)

RE: Comic Books/Manga - Beware of Cuccos - 02-09-2013 05:28 AM

I'm currently reading The Walking Dead.
I would like to get my hands on Tank Girl.
Also any other horror style comics I can find (recommendations would be great!).

I have to pace myself though, even with regular books, because I keep all books I buy. I don't sell them back or trade with friends. I'm a fast reader (especially when I enjoy what i'm reading) so I can go through them too quickly if I don't watch it.

Tank Girl is a pretty fun one. I haven't read the comics but I read the novelization at a local library.

Horror style comics you say? Prepare for a list...

Those should keep you covered for a while Tongue Most of them are something I personally have or are something that I've read so I might be a bit biased.
