Comics Worth Reading?

[patrace]

These are the series I try to keep up on:

Fables - Familiar characters in new contexts, great story and character evolution.

100 Bullets - Mystery, Intrigue, Suspense, and Action. Either this is ridiculously well planned out or it will end in a knot of spaghetti noodles.

Y: the last man - Tightly packed storytelling. People who don't like or read comics are always borrowing this series.

The Walking Dead - Excellent storytelling and high drama. Realism in a familiar world. Also reaches people who don't read a lot of comics which says a lot for the story.

Invincible - Surprisingly awesome. Give it a few books, this looks like cotton candy but fills your stomach like a steak.

Flight - You know you're all badasses.

One Piece - Issue 500 comes out pretty soon. The story is silly at times but the characters are wonderful and I can't help getting clapping my hands or letting out little yelps of excitement when some nested plot element pays off.

Scott Pilgrim - Rating: Awesome.

Maybe forgetting some here. Deus Ex Machina, Transmetropolitan occasionally...

I'll have to check out Rocketo, I've never heard of that one.

I think when I was a kid comics were more about art.. then I took a break for a few years and realized I was a sucker for a good story and strong characters. The art is a part of that of course but not the only ingredient.

I love comics.

I'd been picking up B.P.R.D. (spin off from Hellboy) for the past year, but lately I've been on a mission to buy up all the back issues out there. I've got most of the mini-series completed, except for two. Overall, it's really good.

Though I can't say much for the regularity of the 2 comics below, they are entertaining in their different ways:

DC's All Star Batman and Robin the Boy Wonder
by Frank Miller and Jim Lee
notes: Lee's artwork is a work of ... well ... art! Miller does a great job a writing duties, but one critique: lay off the "GD Batman" phrase, Frank.

Lenore
by Roman Dirge
notes: twisted and just delightful

As I've mentioned twice before on these forums, everyone should go buy Three Shadows, it is excellent.

I just bought Comic Book Tattoo and Rocketo Vol 1 via Amazon (both of which look awesome, by the way), so we'll see how that goes.

I finally decided to get the whole Preacher tb, and I couldn't put it down. I was reading till my eyes was dry and I wasn't blinking because I just had to turn the next page.

So yeah, it is better late than never. In this case it took me about 15 years to see the hype.

Everything by Jason.
Manu Larcenet recently got translated into English, he is a truly amazing storyteller.
