So I've been getting into comics a little recently and I have some books that I really love(Berzerk,some Dixon/Nolanverse stuff,chainsaw man, golgo 13,300, Frank Miller's Big Damn Sin City,Ronin, vol 1 Tmnt collection 80's, the last Ronin,Invincible, No Gun life and yes, some comicsgate and Rippahverse books)
I have stuff like Hellboy and the goon that I'm curious about and Cerubus dose sound interesting. My problem is I don't want to get into a book just for it to go "Heh republidruphs amirite my fellow leftiods" it would take me out of the comic so fast. I've also heard that the ethernuate(probably spelled wrong) was really good.

I just want to Avoid woke shit and be entertained. I went into a comic shop recently and it had a book called "Hatred revisited" and a comic adaptation of an Abram X. Kemdi book. Portland fucking sucks my dudes.
 
DMZ. It is political but predates any idpol and woke shit. It's about a North Korea/South Korea situation happening in the US with NY City being the titular DMZ. Spectacular art by Burchielli. I read most books you mentioned and i love this comic, has been my favourite for years, already been shilling it in the "Sperg about comics" thread.
 
Have you tried getting into spawn? I’ve been reading some of the volumes they been selling and it’s remarkably more colorful than the hbo show makes it out to be. Plus this is always funny IMG_6599.jpeg

The comic also isn’t as explicit in the beginning (barring the violence but it’s not mortal Kombat X X-ray shit) as the show barring one character that comes up in issue 5.

Rosa's Scrooge best Scrooge. God-tier artwork. Haven't read "The Life and Times..." in a million years but i loved it as a kid.

Rosa would fite me himself, but he's a better artist and storyteller than Barks, for real. Just absolutely phenomenal how he tied everything together.
 
Okay, it seems you aren't put off by capeshit.

Bandes dessinées/ Ligne-Claire/Francophile Comics- These are all pretty good reading. Mostly thriller/adventure/sci-fi types in general.
  • Tintin- The OG Classic character. I grew up reading all of the stories, which were all pretty good. Herge's plots and art are distinct and memorable. The series has a legendary reputation that's justly earned.
  • Asterix- The fun comedic adventures of the last gaul village that the Romans can't conquer. It's excellent fun.
  • Valérian and Laureline- A series of sci-fi stories. Very beloved and there's at least one or two films based on them.
  • Blake and Mortimer- Another classic series. Well worth your time if you enjoy mid-20th century style thriller adventures with old fashioned spies, old-fashioned pseudo-science/sci-fi, and a bit of Cold War atmosphere.
  • XIII/"Thirteen"/13- Belgian comic about a mysterious amnesiac tied to the world of espionage. It spawned a video game and a bunch of shows. It's pretty good.
  • There's honestly a lot of good comics. Alix, Yoko Tsuno, fucking anything by Moebius (the comic creator. think this is the right spelling).

Manga

You're familiar with a few good ones, let me add on more. I'll just toss out some good mangaka to sift through too.
  • Osamu Tezuka's works in general. The earlier stuff's pretty well-made juvenile stuff, but he's got plenty of really good works that've held up. Black Jack, Astro Boy, and so on. Check out his more non-mainstream stuff like Phoenix and Buddha.
  • Naoki Urasawa- He's great at intricate plots. Monster is fun. 20th Century boys is fun. Pluto is fun. It's all well-crafted and written for an older audience.
  • Rumoki Takahashi- Now, if you're ever in the mood for something that's light-hearted and a little romantic, she's got Uresai Yatsura and Ranma 1/2. If you want a legitimately beloved romance, there's Maison Ikkoku. She also has Inuyasha if you want a more shonen-type atmosphere. I don't know if she's your thing, but I figured it's worth bringing up if you want something light.

  • Vagabond- It's in hiatus, but it's the story of Miyamoto Musashi and Sasaki Kojiro iirc. Very well crafted.
  • Oyasumi Punpun- Well crafted story about a pretty depressing teen.
  • Yuyu Hakusho- Classic '90s shonen. If you just want a good romp with a likable protagonist
  • Rurouni Kenshin- A classic '90s shonen about post-civil war Japan in the mid-19th century.
  • Kingdom- A very long running manga about the unification of china. Still runs to this day, but the entire series is highly enjoyable.
  • Jitsu Wa Watashi Wa- Lighthearted romantic comedy about a guy falling in love with a very awkwardly funny vampire. It's got pretty great comedic faces and good pacing.
  • City Hunter- classic series about a sort of bounty hunter/P.I.
  • Fist of the North Star- the classic mudamudamuda manga. Post-apocalyptic world with big beefy martial artists screaming as they beat each other to death.
  • Gintama- long running comedy shonen manga. It's pretty good.
  • Hajime no Ippo, Slam Dunk, Eyeshield 21. Classic sports mangas that are very beloved. Ippo is still running and it started in the 80s lmfao.
  • Sengouku Youko and Lucifer & The Biscuit Hammer- 2 mangas that are very well made. I think they both have animes out too. Short reads too.
  • Fullmetal Alchemist- Classic and beloved series.
  • Zatch Bell- A battle shonen that's full of humor and heart.
  • Ashita No Joe/Tomorrow's Joe. The OG boxing manga that made grown men cry.
  • Kekkaishi- A 2000s era shonen about onmyou families that manage a barrier in a sacred land. It's a nice bildungsroman.
  • Akumetsu- a wild romp centered around a seemingly immortal vigilante that's out to kill all corruption in like 2009 era japan.
  • Golden Kamuy- A well-executed turn of the 20th century adventure where a japanese veteran and an ainu hunter girl are on a treasure hunt while facing off against other parties. It's a wild and fun ride. You've got a fuckton of film references appearing on top of the zany humor.
  • Lupin III- the classic series about the master thief and his supporting cast.
  • Onepunch Man- fun goofy shonen battle series with amazing art.
  • Baki- long running martial arts shonen about the strongest in the world.
  • Kengan Ashura/Kengan Omega- Well drawn series about the underground world of corporations and the fighters they hire to combat other corporation reps. It's honestly a great "tune out, have fun" series.
There's a fuckton of manga. I snuck in a few of my own guilty pleasures in the list.

Oh yeah

Americas

Argentina's Eternaut series is a classic, idk if you can get it in english. It's become iconic as an anti-tyranny symbol.

  • Sin City- Frank Miller- Noir
  • Kurt Busiek's Astro City is a long running indie series that pops up. It's a love letter to the superhero genre.
  • Justice League International- Very fun and iconic. Well made.
  • Hitman was a really good grim and gritty comic about a Hitman that recieved superpowers. It's set in DC and you do see superhero comic tropes pop up, but it's largely its own thing. It's an excellent and somewhat short read. There's a later collab with the JLA in which Superman shows respect to the titular antihero.
  • Wolfman and Perez' New Teen Titans- a fun romp with good art and story.
  • John Byrne's Superman- Post Crisis Superman had a great run by Byrne.
  • Walt Simonson's Thor- the best Thor run ever. Hell, one of Marvel's best runs ever.
  • George Perez's Avengers run- I love this guy. Kurt Busiek also worked on it. It's a great run that features all the iconic characters.
  • Frank MIller's Daredevil run is good too.
  • Steve Englehart had a 10 year Captain America run that was enjoyable.
  • Ostrander's post-crisis '80s Suicide Squad is excellent stuff.
  • Grant Morrison's JLA is a great iteration of the classic league.
  • Robinson/Johns' JSA revival from the '90s is excellent if you want to see a bunch of old codgers try to mentor others.
  • Robinson's Starman series is good fun and is a rather excellent epic on its own that shows love for DC's history.
  • The '80s X-Men are probably the best of the classic iteration but I know there's a ton of people that love the '60s and '70s versions.
  • Hawkworld was an '80s post crisis miniseries that revamped the Hawkman mythos to be a bit darker and grittier. It was so well recieved that it became canon.
I can't pick out which Batman/Spider-Man/Fantastic Four run to recommend. There's a lot of great ones. Flash/Wonder Woman/Green Lantern/Hulk also have some decent to good runs, but idk how much you care about them. American comics are a vast wasteland to pick gems from, depending on your taste.

There's also a lot of good shit in the 2000 AD comic mag from the UK. Judge Dredd and the Stainless Steel Rat pop up in my mind.

Yoko Tsuno

Haven't heard that name in forever, i am honestly surprised to see it mentioned at all. BD's are great in general, i agree, but i think someone in the other thread already mentioned that most of them do not have an english translation and are virtually unknown over the pond due to this. Might be circumvented by scanlations by now.

fucking anything by Moebius

Seconded. A master of his craft, artwork and composition are second to none. Anything Moebius is worth it just for the pretty pictures.

Can't write a good ending to save his life but i think that has a lot to do with publisher meddling. Seconding 20th Century Boys, too, it's an excellent manga, even if it drags on in parts and i found the ending to be entirely unsatisfying. Monster suffers the same problems as 20th Century boys but is a good read nonetheless.

Ranma 1/2

I am suprised the troons did never hook their filthy claws in this series. One of the best slapstick manga, humor is on par with pre-Z Dragonball. Rumiko Takahashi is also an industry legend.

Easily in my all-time manga Top 10. Anyone into manga who hasn't read this is doing themselves a disservice. Pure, unadultered depressioncore, absolutely haunting in places. That ending, man...
 
The Boys, 100 Bullets, and Punisher Max. If you enjoy dark stories you'll enjoy all of these.
 
My top comics in no particular order are:

Transmetropolitan by Warren Ellis and Darrick Robertson.

Punisher Max by Garth Ennis, and Jason Aaron's run was also good.

Preacher by Ennis and the late Steve Dillon, who drew Jason Aaron's Punisher run.

100 Bullets by Brian Azzarello and Eduardo Risso

Deadpool by Daniel Way

Queen and Country by Greg Rucka

Fables by Bill Willingham (He's a conservative)

Chuck Dixon's runs on Robin and Nightwing

Ex Machina by Brian K Vaughan and Tony Harris does sometimes preach liberal, but it also goes pro conservative sometimes too.

Runaways Volume 1 also by Vaughan (Don't read past the initial run, it gets dumb quick)

Criminal by Ed Brubaker and Sean Phillips. This got relaunched multiple times but the trades are numbered in order.

Detective Comics by Paul Dini

Honorable mentions.

Spawn was mentioned above, it's all over the place but that keeps it from being boring.

Witchblade. Mostly mindless comic shit.

Nextwave by Warren Ellis and Stuart Immonen.

The Walking Dead

Revival

Lazarus

And yes I do realize most of these are for series that are no longer active

Rumiko Takahashi's just hard for troons to completely co-opt. Fuck me, I don't see troons, furries, or fags talk much about her aside from a vague acknowledgement. Maybe she's too wholesome for them?
