never in my life heard someone call saga boring bro it hurts my heart

invincible got me into reading comics halfway thru compendium 1 and i just bought book 1 of alan moores swamp thing

real rx I completed Invincible last week and enjoyed it. it had it's issues, but overall very much enjoyable and batshit crazy lol.

Swampy though, man... have fun with that one. All time GOAT

thanks u got any recommendations?

depends on what you looking for tbh. You want older classics? New stuff? I'd say Saga of the Swamp Thing is a great place to start, to see the power of the medium

anything tbh, gonna pick up that superman u put in op, any other superman u recommend?

All Star is a really great place to start. The Superman Rebirth run by Tomasi was also amazing

i started getting into Marvel comics last year through House Of X / Powers Of X, then the comics which stemmed from that & misc recommendations from my cousins (lifelong comics fans) since then

thoughts:

this recent Mutants run has been nothing short of amazing

the recent Venom run that just ended with Venom 200 was fantastic as well

Gwenpoole is a really cool character who needs to be present in more comics

they need to finish up the trilogy of comics that feature Voyager, and i think Gorr in Thor4 is gonna take influence from No Road Home

as a fan of the MCU, it’s been really cool reading the source material & seeing where the inspiration for the movies/shows comes from (i.e. Vision (2016) and House Of M being huge influences on WandaVision) & how the MCU changes things up from the source material while still drawing influence

boutta read X-Factor, Cable, and Eternals now. need next GOTG issue asap

omg just finished X-Factor

DO NOT READ THIS IF YOU AREN’T CAUGHT UP, BIG SPOILERS

WANDA NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Fam, what Hickman has done with X-Men is so f***ing amazing. It’s really nice to see them become so popular again.

What’s your fave book you’ve read so far?

Are you into DC at all?

i reeeeally liked King In Black & the whole Eddie Brock story that lead up to it, and it’s fresh on my mind, so i gotta go with that. GOTG is also really good right now. out of the X comics, X-Factor & Hellions have been my favorites

& i like the animated DC shows/movies but not their live action stuff for the most part (Doom Patrol was crazy though), and i haven’t read their comics. the Red X comics interest me the most, but i’m waiting for more issues to come out before i start reading

Right on. If you want some good DC s*** that doesn’t require a lot of previous knowledge of characters lmk. I usually tend to side with DC in terms of quality for their comics and stuff throughout the years. Marvel has had some bangers too though

I am at least 6 months behind on comics

Ignoring the kickstarter thing, this looks interesting but could have been better with a brand new protagonist.

anyone ever read the darkness comics ?

Delete this I’ve sent you a pm already before lol
