Comic Books & Graphic Novels

[Johnny Stooge]

Movies based on comic books have been the box office favourites for years, be it Spider-Man to The Dark Knight or Watchmen to A History of Violence.
So there have to be members here who read the actual comics, yes? You can read Superman and Spider-Man or Hellblazer and Y: The Last Man. Whatever you fancy, this is the place to discuss anything and everything related to comic books and graphic novels (even though it's just a pretentious term).

I want everyone to tell me what books they're picking up on a regular basis and books they might be reading in trade format. Be it Marvel, DC, Dark Horse, IDW, Boom! etc. Make recommendations, tell us about interesting books you might have seen on the shelf or storylines you're really interested in right now.

Text makes a sound?

The Darkness was pretty badass. I haven't read anything recent in years, though.

Preacher will make you shit bricks.

The Path was epic.

I still say that No Honor is one of the most enjoyable comics I've ever read.

[Johnny Stooge]

I took a look at Preacher. I can't stand Steve Dillon's artwork. I'm sorry.

Though, have you heard that the director of Ghost Rider and Daredevil is turning it into a HBO show?
