Graphic novels

[Ughubughughughughughghlug]

I generally don't read graphic novels (ie pretentious comic books). Haven't since high school. Not really into that gay nerd shit, whether it's capeshit or Japanese porn. But I've kind of felt like trying to get into it. As a kid I read Maus (muh sad mouse Jews), The Last of Us' graphic novel about teenage lesbians or whatever stupid crap, Bone (ie cute funny comic characters bait-and-switch you into a Lord of the Rings epic), American Born Chinese, Persepolis (don't know why the fuck I would have read that) and Watchman (genuinely kino regardless of the tool that wrote it or people hyping it).

Basically, it's 90% libshit "feel sorry for me I'm a brown."

What should I read?

As far as weebshit goes I'm interested in Uzumaki, Death Note and Vinlandsaga.



Edit: These medium is so fucking gay.

Edit Edit: Just recommend me historical manga because this is all cancer

Vinland Saga and Death Note are both pretty good, altough I've only seen the anime adaptations of them

WTF there's a manga about Jan Zizka

America deserves to die. Japs are more interested in the most random and obscure (not that it should be obscure, but to Americans it is) European history than Americans are

 

[remiem]

Beneath the Trees Where Nobody Sees. Stray Dogs by Tony Fleecs. Mezolith by Ben Haggarty.

Vinland was ok until they put a troon in it.

You should read Grendel. The new Dark Horse omnibuses are great and you can get everything in order. What starts out as a gimmick for a mafia assassin becomes a kind of meme that takes over the world. Every story arc takes place with different characters after a big time gap as the concept evolves. There is lots of highly stylized violence and experimental storytelling.

And you slowly realize how much Matt Wagner likes drawing dicks.

the only stuff to good to overlook even if you hate the genre is anything made by moebius

The funniest comic ever written:

 

[Stoneheart]

Mostly read science fiction

Valerian and laureline, incal, metabarons are all some of the greatest stuff ever made in their subgenres.
they are European so you might see a boob or 2.

and historical fiction

Blueberry is a great western series
Alix is set in rome and has multiple series.
there is also alot of historic stuff by Milo Manara but those are borderline porn.

also golgo 13 is so long running that its historic^^

Don't read this. I read it recently after someone posted a page somewhere on KF and I was intrigued having only seen the movie. Supposedly, Mark Millar writes excellent superman story lines but this shit was pure garbage.

Read Wolfsmund you fucking faggot

You want some napoleon? Read The battle and Berezina.

 

[Asian tech support]

I know Alan Moore is a giant faggot but I liked From Hell. I'm not a comics guy though so my opinion isn't worth much.

Only manga you need if you're not a Gundam fan: Five Star Stories, Hi no Tori, Ambassador Magma, Astro Boy, Yuureisen, the Ishinomori Ryuu trilogy, Queen Emeraldas, Terra E, Andromeda Stories, Rune Masquer, Locke the Superman, and Gundam The Origin. If you are a Gundam fan then there's a whole bunch of manga out there: the SEED Astrays, Return of Johnny Ridden, the Kondo manga, and the Crossbone series are the best, though most of the others are good (except Char's Deleted Affair and Zeta Define; those are so offensively bad). In general the manga medium is terrible; it peaked at Tezuka, and though there have been some good manga and manga authors since then, so much of it suffers from lack of planning, stories going sideways, generic and predictable stories, and bland, mass-produced art.
For Western stuff, you have to work within major franchises. For Transformers, the UK Marvel comics are the pinnacle of Transformers fiction, though Dreamwave's takes on Armada/Energon and early, Furman-era IDW are also good. Archie and Fleetway Sonic are also very good. For Star Wars, the Dark Empire trilogy and Crimson Empire are the best comics -- most of the meat of the lore is in novels. For most other franchises, the novels/shows are the way to go.

[Rudy Coleman]

Steel Ball Run is the best comic ever made

If you're fine with never getting an ending vegabond is a great fictionalized telling of Musashi Miyamoto. It has absurdly great art and is an all around fantastic manga hampered by the fact the author basically gave up writing it a decade ago.
