Best comic book of all time would definately be the Kingdom Come series, and all Death mini-series.

As for the comic that I always read and always enjoyed, X-Force.

7/28/2005 9:36:50 AM

now
as far as enjoyment
i'm not gonna lie

some of the ultimate series keep me entertained
expshally the spiderman and x-men books

7/28/2005 10:22:20 AM

the wolverine claws storyline was pretty cool, but i think they ruined when Wolverine devolved into basically a primate. The artwork on him changed, and really he just became an annoying character with little to add to the stories. Then his clawbone broke, and all that happens... yadda yadda yadda... we have normal wolverine back again.

strange.

7/28/2005 10:35:48 AM

i still have no clue how he got his adamantium back

there are like 8-12 years of comics where i'm like "wtf b?"

7/28/2005 11:03:36 AM

weapon x shoved some adamantium up in sabertooth

apocalypse ripped it out of him and shoved it into wolverine when he made him his new horseman of death

sounds complicated.....too complicated

7/28/2005 9:29:21 PM

I wanted to give everyone a heads up on some alex ross news. Next Week Justice comes out its going to be hot shit.

7/28/2005 9:32:46 PM

Doomsday fucked that young man up.

No, that was the best comic book GIMMICK of all time.

7/28/2005 10:16:12 PM

i'll admit it

i have that book

7/28/2005 10:18:30 PM

I've got it, too.

Direct and regular version.

SEALED BLACK BAG NIGGA WHAT.

WORTHLESS MEMORABILIA NIGGA WHAT.

7/28/2005 10:20:55 PM

i would say however that probably the most anticipated comic book of all time were the Wolverine Origin mini-series.

"oh, another one i wanted to mention was Marvels. the stories were decent, but the artwork was breathtaking. i've gotta put that up there."

Agreed.

And another vote for Kingdom Come.

I might give that to the Marvel vs. DC crossover series.

7/28/2005 10:37:58 PM

ehe Amalagram

Darkclaw and Super Soldier and all that shit

7/28/2005 11:17:28 PM

Other than Frank Miller's Dark Knight series, noi other Batman can touch this.

7/29/2005 8:53:39 AM

No other Batman? Did you not read The Long Halloween or Dark Victory? Did you not read The Killing Joke or Son of the Demon? Man, don't even post in this thread again.

i read it a couple weeks ago

i enjoyed it of course, but.....

i kinda wish they hadn't done it

7/29/2005 10:02:45 AM

^^^I have that shit autographed.

7/29/2005 2:47:00 PM

Marvels was nice...but again it was Marvel saying "Oh shit we better do something like Kingdom Come which was extremely kickass." Which takes away from the experience for me.

7/29/2005 4:11:41 PM

if youre all about the rob liefeld / xforce shit, check out the cover of the next issue of teen titans (27 i think)
he's drawing two issues and it is the exact same as the cover to xforce #1

also, i just started checking out y: the last man and it is some really good stuff.

Dark voctory and Long Halloween were both good books. The latter two. Please no one gives a fuck about how the joker got all fucked up and Ra's Al Ghul and his sluttly little daughter are the worst characters ever.

Batman the cult, is by far the most graphic of all the batman "series." This comic book is much different from the kiddie shit we grew up with. If you read it you would know, and if you can't recognize the talent in the artwork and plot, stick to the saturday morning cartoons.

7/29/2005 4:51:00 PM

if you mean Batman as a Wolverine rip-off, with barrel chest and all, then sure, s'great.

but then again, i hate frank miller's concept of batman.

7/29/2005 4:53:03 PM

Oh shit, it's ON now.

And The Cricket's gonna lose.

7/29/2005 8:47:03 PM

as far as recent ones go, the first 6 issues of the dreamwave transformers are a very nice read, artwork and story are great, and it makes ya love optimus prime

7/29/2005 9:06:17 PM

Wow good read especially for one dollar

No real Batman fan would ever say he didn't care about the Joker. That character is absolutely fucking integral to the Batman mythos. I can't fault you for your opinion of Ra's al-Ghul and Talia, but don't call Talia slutty. She's been faithful to Batman.

Pre-Crisis, anyway.

None of the Batman comics I grew up with were "kiddie shit." The Batman of our generation is defined by some heavy stuff: Year One; The Dark Knight Returns; the death of Jason Todd; Batman's utter defeat and paralyzation at the hands of Bane; the list goes on and on. Even at the earliest, when I was reading Batman comics a few years before my time, it was still the weird Denny O'Neil Batman, the detective/scientist/athlete who might bring a murderer to justice in one issue only to face what seemed to be a creature out of myth in the next.

There's talent in the artwork and plot of The Cult, but being graphic doesn't automatically make it great or even good. That's a pretty juvenile approach to comics you've got. And I don't know if you've seen the Batman cartoons, but they're fucking fantastic.

Lets not argue and all this bla bla bla crap... this post was made for people to share what they believe to be good comic books. NO PERSONAL ATTACKS!!!

7/30/2005 1:19:37 PM

And I'm sharing. A "personal attack" would be if I called him a fucking retard or something.

7/30/2005 1:34:56 PM

well he is a fucking retard
