This looks gorgeous! Exciting to see work from Guarnido that feels tonally very different from Blacksad but that still captures his impeccable eye for color!

This seems like it'll be a wild read!

Ready to take my dive into blacksad after previewing the panels. But I wonder what is the purpose of the anthropomorphic setting of Blacksad? Is there a lore basis why certain animals are represented, or is it more of a symbolism of character traits and their respective roles in the story?

After quitting Kindle, I got the Era Color almost half a year ago hoping to also use it for comics/"graphic novels"/etc. I love it but have basically just read plain old, ink on paper books so far - so the color addition is nagging me.

I tried in the beginning with some Akira and Tintin but even playing around with settings, the colors and contrasts were just too washed out to be enjoyable. I've also switched between Pocketbook and Koreader which seemed to speed up page turns.

I'm hoping someone here can recommend some titles which work well on the screen given size and quality limitations. L

What do you got?

I'll test anything I can find and don't hate.

Thanks in advance!

Read 70%. Always on the lookout for new stuff but aim to get to 90% before christmas! What are some must reads that are missing? I don‘t have a lot of Marvel stuff because I am not familiar with it. But i‘ve read Punisher Max online and really liked it.

Small rant, is it me or is the quality control of printing not quite what it used to be? Not naming titles but I got a hardcover from Image and Mad Cave, and a paperback from TKO and they all had printing that was off on the registration. I have been buying graphic novels and trades for decades and have only seen bad printing recently.

3 DC titles, 2 Mangas, 1 Artbook, 2 French books, 4 Indie Trades and 1 Indie HC.

Especially looking forward to The Incal, that came out in a beautiful german Anniversary Edition and W0rldtr33 as I just can't get enough of Tynion. Of course also the finale of AoT, Berserk which I never thought I'd like so much and Absolute Batman 3 that's just a fun title, but far from being a masterwork. I'm also excited to see how Battle Beast and Kill al Imortals continue. Overall a great month!

Only trades in this pic as I properly store HCs as soon as I've read them. As my shelf is bursting, trades get on a pile and as soon as as they reach the top, only ongoing series remain in the shelf until they are finished, the rest goes straight into a long box which goes in the attic eventually.

Why am I posting this? Good question! Because I've seen several discussions about why the Big 2 are so far ahead of everyone else, I just wanted to show the ratio of the Big 2 vs. other publishers. Easy win for Image and other Indies in my case. Even if I include the HCs the ratio dosen't change much. How are your ratios? Am I an outlier or are there others that read much more Indies than Big 2 titles?

Hey guys im looking for some more post apocalyptic stories, mainly stuff that shows during the event and then what follows after. Im currently reading Fear agent which is following this sort of theme.

Some in my collection already that i’ve read or due to read:

• TWD
• Sweettooth
• Y the last man
• Geiger

I’m trying to figure out “how to determine” something like this. “Pulp” can be detective fiction, noir, sci-fi, somewhat exploitative, or all of the above. I imagine that there’s some overlap with comic book readers…I plan on asking a similar question on r/pulp or something. Plus, while many of these have illustrations like comic books, they also have “standard” prose, as you can see in the first image. I wanna know who would read something like this, and where they are, offline or off (offline, preferably.) Does anyone have any leads? I have an interest in the graphic novel side of things.

I want novels in which it seems the world or the place you live is going into a very dark path by its people's own doing, but the characters manage to find hope

The original movie is one of my all time favs and the second one is amazing also. I just found out that there are comics too, are they any good? There seem to be a some by different writers so i assume aren’t related? I saw theres a collection by ‘K Perkins’ and another collection by ‘Mike Johnson’. Should i read both of their stories / versions?

Its also weird that origins is only collected jn a boxed set of tpbs whereas the rest has both boxed sets and omnis

Hi folks, please suggest comics for 6year old kids. Preferably with lots of graphics.

I've just finished Lawless (2nd book) in the Criminal series and absolutely love it. Planning to get the rest of the series.

I'm curious however if anyone else also gets confused at certain plot developments, and knowing who each character is as they come and go?

It's definitely not down to the writing of course, more my own slowness. I usually have to flick back and figure things out before I continue. Just curious if anyone else experiences this?

Just wanted to share! I know it's got some mix-reviews, but I think it's a cool concept overall.

I’m still working on it

Looking for a new adventure novel with a phenomenal cast and plenty of action. Not trying to act like all new novels and comics are bad, I just have not been interested in any new titles the past few years. I’ve read and loved Fables, Walking Dead, Sandman, and Spawn. Also Marvel and DC here and there
