I am a newfag, first time poster, long time lurker, MATI Archive Veteran. Please don't make me commit Seppuku, but I'm a big fan of reading comics on comixolgy and amazon. I have read Marvel 1602 by Neil Gaiman which was pretty good and then X-Men Grand Design by Ed Piksor, currently reading TMNT the IDW collection. Is there something that KF would recommend that isnt Troon infested propaganda. I respect your knowledge and autism thank you for your spergs.
 
Any of Garth Ennis's war comics

e: and Battle Angel Alita, even if you rightly spurn manga degeneracy this one is still worth a read. Phenomenal art by Kishiro and a lovely story. I may have had a bit of a cry at the ending of the series (the original series that is, its sequels Last Order and Martian Chronicles fall right into the lame-sex-comedy and endless-fight-scene manga cliches the original mostly avoids)

I perfer the "Guided View" where it goes panel by panel. I'm retarded, I lose interest if my monkey brain has too much too look at.

Hold on, I've got some stream of consciousness autism to sort through.

  • Justice League International- the post-crisis version of the team that's beloved for a very good reason. The art's memorable and the writing's just peak superhero fun with comedy and drama. Hell, even the successive Justice League Europe and Justice League America runs are fun if you want to see more of this, but the three man team that did the OG JLI are the best. Speaking of which, there's also an early 2000s "I can't believe it's not the Justice LEague" or some shit where the 3 creators came back to do more stories with the original JLI roster+mary marvel and I think Ralph and Sue Dibny.
  • New Teen Titans- the original run of this is still fun. It's decently paced, the art is great, the characters remain interesting and get plenty of development.
  • Geoff Johns' Green Lantern run is all readable and enjoyable, but I'd recommend the Sinestro Corps War and Blackest Night. Of course, you can read Johns entire run from the start of GL Rebirth and he really ain't a bad writer.
    • Speaking of which, Johns did a fine job with the JSA. His run on it is pretty fun.
    • His Flash run is also alright. Honestly you can't really go that wrong with his stuff but don't expect anything literarily deep.
  • Grant Morrison's work is always entertaining and interesting, even if he does come off like a schizo.
    • His Batman run is great fun. The man loves his classic comics and weaved silver and golden age stuff into a new form.
    • His JLA run is also great and beloved.
    • Final Crisis is an interesting idea, but YMMV. It's got a billion tie-in final crisis event miniseries and the entire thing is very "meta".
    • Animal Man is fun and surreal.
    • Doom Patrol was good. Very surreal and weird though.
    • His Green Lantern book was weird, but fun.
    • His indie stuff falls off the editorial limitations of DC/Marvel, but I recall it all being interesting.
    • His X-Men run was interesting. Maybe it was overrated, but it's not a bad read. The art's a bit of an acquired taste.
    • Honestly, his work's all pretty solid. It consistently tend to get weird, but in that comic book way or in the "metacommentary" way.
  • CLASSIC VERTIGO-
    • Sandman
    • Hellblazer
    • Swamp Thing
    • Books of Magic
    • I'm probably not recalling the others. If you like the mystical side of things and some more seriously toned stuff, early vertigo is great. Gives you a taste.
  • Classic John Byrne comics. I liked his F4 and She-Hulk stuff.
    • Also the post crisis Superman stuff in general. They had to relaunch everything after the first crisis event and the John Byrne superman redefined the character.
  • James Robinson's Starman is a very fun read that delves into the history of the DCU as part of its tapestry. You'll get to meet all of the Starman legacy as the writer makes Opal City seemingly come to life in the same way Gotham has. Robinson gave fresh life to an old hero that was only ever known for being one of the original JSA members and for having a name that could have had more potential. He does get into the shitload of Starmen that DC's had and the MC got to meet all of them, on top of having all of his stories wrapped up in a bow by the end of the run. Hell, Robinson turned The Shade from a corny z-list golden age villain into a far more interesting character. Robinson's stuff generally shows a love for the medium's history and he will consistently make use of the strangeness of the superhero genre. He had a JLA run that was abruptly ended, but he published a version of the cliffs notes of what was drafted up.
  • 2000s Guardians and Cosmic Marvel. DnA did a great job. It's a great fun space opera.
  • Classic runs of any prominent character. You're a google search away if you just wanna look up whatever Dr. Strange or Aquaman or Avengers run is recommended.
  • Manga
    • Rurouni Kenshin
    • Berserk
    • Vagabond
    • Goodnight Punpun
    • Kingdom
    • Hajime no Ippo
      • Yeah these are the ones that come to mind. I'll also toss in anything by Naoki Urasawa. Monster and Pluto are great reads. Honestly there's a lot of great manga.
  • European comics- I'm not as familiar with these.
    • Tintin- The classic comic that comes to mind when people talk about european comics. Well-written stories of an adventuring reporter and his friends.
    • Asterix- The stories of a little gaul village that resisted the romans with a magic serum. The titular character gets into adventures alongside his best buddy and his dog.
    • Valerian- Classic french sci-fi comics. Good shit.
    • Judge Dredd- Classic british comics predicting 2024 with a more dystopian twist. There's a reason it's beloved. Highly recommended.
  • Individual Graphic Novels
    • Kingdom Come by Mark Waid. Waid's a fucking twitterite these days but Kingdom Come was a genuinely good comic with great art.
    • All-Star Superman by Morrison- A great tale that celebrates Superman. Sure, the premise is a little grim, but hey. It's great.
    • The Dark Knight Returns by Frank Miller- A grimdark-ish future where an aged Bruce comes back. Honestly, I don't like Frank too much outside of this novel and his Daredevil stuff. However, TDKR kickstarted the grimdark push in the 80s-90s.
    • Batman: The Killing Joke- Alan Moore. It's a well done tale. I'd say it's worth reading. This fucking thing, iirc, was intended to be stand-alone, but people drew so much from it that it's now considered canon. That's how good Moore is when he's not writing his more weird shit or involved in his weird shit.
      • Consequently, I know we discussed this in the Comics thread here, but Alan Moore's mainstream stuff is usually considered good. Watchmen/V for Vendetta are lauded graphic novels. His Superman stories were fucking kino. His Green Lantern stuff has been milked for 20+ years. Hell, Geoff Johns took a single Moore GL story and milked it for a decade.
    • Astro City- Kurt Busiek. A love letter to the superhero genre. Highly recommend you check out this series of graphic novels.
    • 300- Okay, you've heard of the movie, right? The source material is a fun read.
    • The Marvels and its DC counterpart "Justice" have Alex Ross art and are love letters to their respective universes through the decades. Good stuff if you like that
  • Indies
    • Fables/Fable
    • Walking Dead
    • Invincible
    • The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen
    • I don't read a lot of indies, honestly.
  • Manwha/Korean Comics
    • Yongbi the Invincible
    • Reformation of a Deadbeat Noble
    • The Breaker Part 1.
    • Reincarnation of a Suicidal Battlegod
    • Legend of the Northern Blade
      • This genre's a bit trickier to get into but you'll find scans.

Invincible, its a good soft critique of capeshit without being a straight antithesis, which if that sounds like something youd like id recommend The Boys. While many have criticized it for being crass and overtly cruel, it is a well put together story with significant foreshadowing and commentary on corporate negligence, which obviously wasnt portrayed in the watered down version produced by amazon. The Walking Dead comic is also very good, though another tv butchery. I especially like the characters being much more flawed and believable then their onscreen counterparts, whilst not dying for dumbfuck retard reasons which occurred regularly in the show to lazily increase tension. Lastly Watchman is also a must read, never seen the movie but the comic is a masterpiece of storytelling and irony.
