Walking Dead is pretty boring.
Anyone reading Injustice Gods Among Us? Probably one of the best series I've read in a long time, the video game was ass but this...god damn. |

What you mean?  They're free, all comics are free 
But seriously, if I had money to blow I'd get a bunch of stuf, I'd rather be able to read them than to look at a screen.
Before ~2004 I used to buy some, but then I found out about the scans and...

But hey, recently comixology started publishing DRM free comics! 
Just not from marvel or DC.
I  'ed hard when I saw comments all over the webs, "Wow now you can download comics and keep them!  "
But kudos to them and for the publishers that participate, it's an important first step.

| VonMisk wrote: | Subjective overview of comic books:
Hellboy/BPRD (1993 - ongoing) - ★★★★★
Supernatural/Apocalypse
Hellboy is pretty self explanatory and I love this series. It evolved really pretty into some cool apocalyptic story with great characters. You have to read it in proper order mixing Hellboy with BPRD, Lobster Johnson, Abe Sapien to have a full view of the evolving story.
The Losers (2003 - 2006) - ★★★★★
Techno-thriller
Clearly inspired by A-Team, The Losers are a comics book about special force unit betrayed by their handler and left for dead. The comic book tell the story of their revenge. It has nice cast of characters, not bad writing, some twists and humor. I really recommend it if you want some more down to earth story without super powers.
100 Bullets (1999-2009) - ★★★★★
Hard-boiled/Noir/Crime
100 Bullets is a must read for everyone. Violent and dark with clever writing. The first few issues are connected by a character called Agent Graves approaching people who were presumably wrong in some way, giving them a briefcase containing a gun, titular 100 bullets and a target who wrong them. It later evolves into great noir story.
If you haven't read it do it. One of the best written comics books out there.
Burn the Orphanage: Born to Loose (2013-2014) - ★★★
Beat'em Up
Yep it's a comics book that is a pastiche of all computer beat'em ups. With over-the-top story and character, clear references to Final Fight, Mortal Kombat, Streets of Rage etc. Interesting concept but if you are looking for some mature story or seriousness better skip it. There is continuation of the series in Reign of Terror.
Captain Swing and Electrical Pirates (2010) - ★★
Steampunk
A story written by Warren Ellis and illustrated by Raulo Caceres whose loose style I hate. Set in 1830 England is a light story about harnessing the power of electricity and forces trying to put it to the end.
If you like steampunk you might want to read it but I didn't like it. Might have been a interesting concept but it wasn't well developed and the whole story is rather simple.
Casanova (2006 - ongoing) - ★★★★
Sci-fi/Spy/Weird
Future, alternate universes, time travel, super spies, robots, sex. This shit is awesome and weird and original and confusing. It's really hard to explain the plot without spoilering a lot of things. It tells a story of Casanova a thief and espionage artist who gets involved in twisted plot revolving around alternate universes.
Four star because first issues are really confusing and weird but when you get around that, it evolves into fun pulp fiction (genre) story.
City of Dust (2008) - ★★★
Dystopia/Sci-fi/Horror
The story is set in dystopian future where imagination and all kind of its product are banned and prosecuted. When suddenly creatures from horror stories and movies start to appear and kill people.
Well it's pretty much a standard comics book story with some messy art style. Not bad, not great either.
Crossing Midnight (2007-2008) - ★★★★
Asian mythos/present times/horro
A comic book set in present time Japan that deals in Asian mythos, mostly Oni. A story of twins intertwined with ghost world. Nice break from mainstream superhero comics with adult story and fresh set.
DMZ (2005-2012) - ★★★★★
War/Alternative present/political thriller
It's one of the must read comics books by Brian Wood. Set in war torn New York in time of present time US civil war. Great story of Manhattan residents trying to survive in no man's land, politics and not black-white choices.
One of those comics books one should know.
Green River Killer (2011) - ★★★★★
True detective/biography
A true story about Green River Killer told by the son of the detective who catched him.
Heavy Liquid (1999-2000) - ★★★★★
Cyberpunk
Cyberpunk story about drugs, fixers, punk gangs, art, government conspiracy. If you like Gibsons' books - a must read.
It Came! (2013) - ★★★
50s' B horror-sci-fi movies/comedy
A light hearted story about alien invasion. In England. In 50s.
Locke and Key (2008-2013) - ★★★★★
Horror/Lovecraft/Drama
A story about siblings finding a set of keys which give them supernatural abilites but also dredge up old evil connected to their parents. Awesome story with well written characters.
Luther Strode (2011-2012) - ★★★★
Pulp superhero/ultraviolence
It's your guilty pleasure comic book with light story about a teen who turns into super powerfull ultraviolent (anti)hero. It's ULTRAVIOLENT. Fun!
Minitry of Space (2001) - ★
Sci-Fi/Spy/Alternate universe
A story about Britain winning a space race. Except the concept - a waste of time.
Nemesis (2010) - ★★★
Antihero
Mark Millar's antihero story. Like Kickass but more straight forward and ultraviolent.
On the Far Side with Dead Folks (2002) - ★★★
Nuclear postapo/Mad Max/Fallout
Your post apo with wastelands, killer nuns, sex, cadillacs, mutants.
Planetary (1998-2009) - ★★★★
Superhero/pop culture/alternate universes
One of the alternative approach to superheroes. Worth taking a look due to some interesting characters and story.
Frank's Miller Robocop (2003 - 2006) - ★★★★
Robocop 2/dystopia
Original Frank Miller's script for Robocop 2 turned into comics. Worth of taking a look to see how R2 would look if they stick to the original vision. Ultraviolent.
Sweet Tooth (2009-2013) - ★★★★★
Postapo/genocide/weird
Sweet Tooth takes place in postapo world where humans were decimated by unknown disease and strange human-animal hybrids started appearing. Pretty dark story that kind-a reminds me of new Planet of The Apes story. The art might be hard to swallow for some but the story while not being complicated is pretty good.
The Exterminators (2006 - 2008) - ★★★
Apocalypse/comedy/present times
Light hearted story about cockroach infested apocalypse. It's funny and full of humor but don't expect anything extra. Fun read.
Transmetropolitan (1997-2002) - ★★★★★
Cyberpunk/dystopia/sci-fi
Some say it's overrated but I love this comics about Spider Jerusalem, a futurisitic journalist. Funny yet with edge and great writing with socio-political commentary. You have to read it.
Universal War One (2008-2009) - ★★★★
Space Opera with a twist
French space opera about war between Earth and Colonists with some twist in story. I have some issues with the story telling but overall nice european comics.
Apocalypse Al (2013-2014) - ★★★
Supernatural/comedy
Light hearted comic book about a girl fighting the supernatural menace. One of those read and forget comic books. I bet it will be turned into movie - RIPD quality.
Atomic Robo (2007 - ongoing) - ★★★★★
Teslapunk/comedy/sci-fi
Like hellboy but with robot. I f**** love it. Don't expect anything serious but it's really, really funny.
Battle Pope (2000 - 2005) - ★★★★
Apocalypse/comedy/christianpunk
Well there was apocalypse, almost no one went to heaven, all hell breakes loose. Pope is a douche... fuck it... just read the plot on wiki...
It's just fun if you are not into serious stuff.
Black Hole (1995-2005) - ★★★★★
Drama
A story about bunch of kids contracting strange disease. A great story about adolescence with superb art.
Blacksad (2000 - ongoing) - ★★★★★
Noir/furry/hardboiled
Blacksad is a masterful noir comic books with anthropomorphic animals. The comics usually pickups socio-political themes for its stories.
Chew (2009 - ongoing) - ★★★★
Weird/cannibals/crime/comedy
A comic book about Asian who can see past of things he ate (except beats). Humans too. Light hearted and funny with great concept.
Copra (2013) - ★★
Superheroes/weird
Ok. It suppose to be a comics book revelation but it tired me. Interesting art but a downfall of this comic book at the same time. It felt heavy with too weird plot that almost make me puke with my brain.
Desolation Jones (2005-2007) - ★★★★★
Superagents/cyberpunk
Ok, I love Desolation Jones with it's dark and gritty story and characters. It oozes atmosphere. One of those comic books that you can't really forget.
Double Jumpers (2012 - 2013) - ★★
Fantasy/modern times/comedy
A comedy-adventure comic book about bunch of programmers who swap places with charcters they coded for cRPG. Kind of meh.
Obergeist: Ragnarok Highway (2001) - ★★★
Nazi science/supernatural/alternate history
Nazi science experiment gone wrong wakes up after year to have his revenge. Ok comics if you like nazi science comics books 
Druuna (1985) - ★★★/★★★★
Porn/sci-fi/porn/apocalypse
Wow... Druuna is so hard to rate. It has awesome setting oozing with System Shock feeling (and kinda Dead Space), the art is freaking gorgeous but it's french fetish porn comics with mutants/males fucking/raping Druuna. Highly chauvinistic in it's message as the heroine behaves like whore. But that art and atmosphere...
East of West (2013 - ongoing) - ★★★★
Apocalypse/sci-fi/alternate history/wild wild west
The story of Death defying riders of apocalypse in their plan to fullfill a prophecy about end of the world. Cool settings with very comic 101 story, don't expect anything extra beyond your standard storytelling for this medium.
Ex Machina (2004-2010) - ★★★★★
Cyberpunk/thriller/alternate superheroes/politics
A alternate view of superhero who becomes a mayor of New York. Great, mature story with well written characters and superpowers in the background. A must read.
Fables (2002 - ongoing) - ★★★★★
Fantasy/mythos/mordern times
Fables are cast out from their land of fairy tales to nowadays New York. It's awesome, great concept, great execution, well written characters and stories. Must read!
Federal Bureau of Physics (2013 - ongoing) - ★★★
Sci-fi/modern times
A comics book about a federal bureau that takes care of quantum anomalies. Interesting concept but the few issues that were out didn't hooked me up with it's characters and storytelling.
There are plans to film it.
Fran (2013) - ★★★★
Weird/acid trip
It's weird. Just google it. Probably drawn after taking acid and LSD.
Invincible (2002 - ongoing) - ★★★★
Supersuperheroes/DBZ
Mix up your superheroes cliche with dragonball add some smart writing and humor and you will get Invincible. Fortunately it escapes marvel/DC superhumans cliche, is not afraid of killing characters and has coherent story. Unfortunately it evolved into a universe so you should buy other comic books from the universe to have full scope of the story.
Judge Dredd (1977 - ongoing) - ★★★★★
Apocalypse/dystopia/humor
Well first few issues of Judge Dredd (we're talking 2000 AD not US shit) are... well... pretty bad but later on when Judge Dredd becomes more established character it becomes awesomely good.
Manhattan Projects (2012 - ongoing) - ★★★★★
Weird science/alternate history
MP is a comic book about a bunch of twisted alternate versions of earths' most brilliant scientists who are enlisted to elite US force called Manhattan Projects to battle aliens and weird science of other countries. It's great with most twisted (anti)heroes in comic books history. Brilliant and funny but the art can be hard to swallow with its sloppy lineart.
Northlanders (2008-2012) - ★★★★★
Vikings/history
A comic books about Vikings, Celts, Englishmen. It's awesome.
The Scorpion (2000 - ongoing) - ★★★★
Fiction history/cloak and dagger
A fictional adventures of The Scorpion, a relic hunter who gets involved into conspiracy regarding Templar treasure and religious power plays in 18th century Rome.
Team Zero (2006) - ★★★
War story
A comic book about a bunch of allied soldier on secret mission behind enemy lines.
The Unwritten (2009 - ongoing) - ★★
Fantasy/modern times/harry potter
Well this one's hard. It's a pastiche of Harry Potter books - a great concept and interesting story with god aweful characters you just don't root for. Everyone is a fucking douche and they don't really change in the course of their action except for worse. Some seriously good ideas destroyed by the fact that you don't care if the main protagonist will succeed.
Top Ten (1999 - 2001) - ★★★★★
Alternate superheroes
A comics book that take place in a world where there are only superheroes (who do mundane things). Most people would recommend it to you.
X-O Manowar (2012 - ongoing) - ★★★
Sci-fi turned superheroes
It started cool with strong sci-fi vibe but become your run-of-the-mill superhero staff. It tells a story of Visigoth barbarian being abducted by aliens and getting a superpowerful sentient power armor. It's not bad but they put some superhero shit in latest issues plus expanded it into universe so you have to read 3 additional comics books to know what the fuck is going.
Y - The Last Man (2002 - 2008) - ★★★★★
Apocalypse/genocide/modern times
All males are wiped by something except one guy and his monkey. It's one of the best comics books I have read, hands down. Great concept of the postapo world where only females survived with some socio insights and well written female characters. Just read it. |
Heh, wow, thanks for that.
I am currently reading The Boys, I have finished the first 3 omnibus releases. It is full of degeneracy for the sake of shock value, I rate it 4/5. I prefer the way the TV series handles things. The series gets a perfect score for me, heh!
Also, I finished all of Uber and I am at Uber:Invasion issue 8. Interesting take on superpowers. Enhanced humans are treated like weapons and emphasis is given in the tactics the armed forces use to maximise their advantages. And the overall strategy of the super powers, this is about an alternate history ww2 continuation, diverging from our reality a few days before Berlin falls, as a breakthrough introduces enhanced german soldiers to the mix.

I've read so many comic books since that list. Maybe I should do a new one?
I'm up to date with Uber. I like it but to be honest I don't know if it has finished now or is on another hiatus.

Dylan Dog Case Files (it's a ~700 page book collecting a bunch of comic stories, some of them connected to each other)!
https://www.darkhorse.com/Books/15-672/The-Dylan-Dog-Case-Files-TPB
It was created by Tiziano Sclavi in 1986 and it's still going. It's horror mixed with mystery and a little comedy by the side resulting in a quite unique comic series with topics ranging from zombies, vampires, supernatural killers to weird magic, golems and so on. It's like a take on a modern Sherlock Holmes with supernatural/horror based stories.
Two movies have been made;
Dellamorte Dellamore aka Cemetery Man (1994) - it's very much inspired by Dylan Dog down to the main actors appearance (Rupert Everett), the story is very Dylan Dog'ish, using the same car as in the comics and so on. Great movie as well.
Dylan Dog: Dead of Night (2011) - it sucked. No point in writing anything about it, just avoid it.
I highly recommend Dylan Dog, it's got a unique feel to it.
