Comic Books * 1
    #19234275 -



I've been watching Comic Book Guys on netflix
and it has really rekindled my interest in comic books
and was wondering if anyone on the shroomery was into them

I've always had a small collection growing up but not much more then a few scattered issues
in my late teens I expanded my collection and filled in the missing spots with Spawn 1-100
now I'm looking to get some of the early TMNT but I also picked up a few trade paperbacks of green lantern and batman

I'm hesitant to get into the really well established heroes because I know I'll never get some of the early key issues and it feels weird to start in the middle with a random current issue

nil a land beyond belief

Quote:
Besides referring to the Latin term for nothingness, Nil is also a phoneme of the protagonist, Proun Nul. Nul is employed by the city of Nihilopolis X (the city is rebuilt each time the people destroy the previous one) as a deconstruction engineer on board the Derrida (named for Jacques Derrida). The citizens of Nihilopolis are committed to the philosophical principle of nihilism, and Nul's job involves destroying ideas (manifested as large edifices in the desert) before they can infect the population. In keeping with Nil's motto "In Nothing We Trust", this constant work has led to a war with the neighboring republic of Optima.

i grew up reading marvel and now i can't stand it. i don't read dc either. i do like superheroes but the franchise stuff is just too kiddy for me.

this though, is an ongoing superhero comic that is magnificent.



only three issues in. don't sleep.

Comic books were never a part of my childhood and there's no way i could bare them now, that's like trying to have fun by reading a video game or a movie, when you could just play the video game or watch the movie

I can't remember the last time I read a comic.. I know I read that Superman one where doomsday annihilates him. That's probably a graphic novel though.

I read a few Sin City graphic novels.. As well as The Watchmen, V for Vendetta... I guess they aren't comics though.

Graphic Novel's are Comics, i think... they're mega comics that kick the usual comics ass.

Yeah I wasn't sure.. I like graphic novels since I don't have to put in a ton of effort finding all the individual issues.. Just grab one and done.

I also read Bone, that fucker was huge though.

dude, Bone looks awesome. it's apparently huge and funny.

i like the illustrations... i'm gonna keep an eye out for this one. it looks classic.

yeah, that's a decent price. i still have to wonder though if a local bookstore would carry it... there is lot of this post-novelty old school stuff around my area.

i want a completely original awesome series, and this looks like it might be the one. (i've already seen MAXX and Sin City on film, i know it's not the same but...)

Let me dig around and see if there are any other ones I didn't list that I've read.

V for Vendetta and The Watchmen are both good graphic novels but if you've seen the movies they are pretty damn close to the comics.

I've heard Maus is good but I've never read it.

Re: Comic Books [Re: LordSenate]
    #19234972 -

luckily i haven't seen those ones (even though i hear Watchmen is a pretty good watch)

and V is probably a shit ton better in book form then in film form. (wasn't that Star Trek chick in it; bleh)

damn, no wonder so many movies these days suck ass; there just trying to rip off of awesome comic books. :yesnod:

at least the Walking Dead was a minor success. i'd probably still be better to just read it, though.

i don't know if Graphic Novels should be turned into movies... i don't know... i just don't fit the style that they originated from.

Nah man.. V for Vendetta is one the very few movies that actually was pretty damn close to the book.. I mean it really captures the style, feel and the story is almost exactly the same aside from some very minor differences.

The Watchmen was also pretty damn  good for an adaptation.. However they changed the ending a bit.

Sin city was good too... I mean all three of those are good either way you experience them.

Re: Comic Books [Re: LordSenate]
    #19235003 -

yeah, but they're good BECAUSE of the books... not informed in any way other then from the book. that's what i guess i was trying to get at... i mean, Sin City the movie was awesome... for portraying the comic book close to heart.

i haven't seen the other two, but i'm sure they're good too, but just not in any original sense of "a film". it's new, i guess, to be able to represent comic books in film so accurately, though... so i guess that's one thing you can give them credit for.

still, i dunno, i don't wanna be that guy who says "read the book or hell have wrath...!" but in this case... aren't the movies just copying the illustrations in the books? meh, minor pet peeve.

Sin City still rocked, and Mickey Rourke is a bad ass, with horrible plastic surgery.

I have a stupid amount of comic books.

I have stacks scattered all over my house. 

It's kind of annoying.
