Geano Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 (edited) So this topic is about comics not manga, but comics as well as web comics. We can also talk about fan comics here as well. I was wondering dose anyone here like reading comics like Navel, and DC. I have followed those as long as I have followed anime. They hold a close place in my heart equally for different reasons. I also follow several web comic series among those some fan comics based around video game franchises. How about you guys what do you like in terms of comic? Edit: May contain spoilers.

For example a lot of people have seen, or heard of the show The Walking Dead. Even now it is popular. Though that tv series is actually based on a series of graphic novels from a earlier time 80s, and 90s. Comics are more short strips, or pages in terms of web comics. Though in paper comics they tend to be 20, or less pages wheres graphic novels as well as manga easily exceed 100 most the time. More like a actual chaptered novel.

leinwandname Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 Not a great fan of superhero comics -though I have some old Batman comics-, but I read Scott Pilgrim and Lost at Sea, both by Bryan Lee O'Malley, and Mark Crilley's Bordy's Ghost and Miki Falls - absolutely loved all of them! Then there are the webcomic like Bastard, Home, Sweet Home and Paintworld. The first two are pretty dark (well, Paintoworld agruably too...) but great reads. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Batman is amazing how the series has evolved is honestly incredible. Ah you like Bastard, and Home, Sweet Home and Paintworld as well. That is pretty cool. I have enjoyed those very much, but I won't put any spoilers here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ohayotaku Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 (edited) I was pretty big into Marvel comics from the late 70’s through the 90’s, primarily the Spider-Man & X-men related titles. I remember the first appearance of characters like Cloak & Dagger and Hobgoblin, Apocalypse, Deadpool & Cable. And storylines like Days of Future Past, Kraven’s Last Hunt, Secret Wars & Infinity Gauntlet. I never really got into DC comics though I liked Batman the Animated series. The only alternative title I was really into was Wendy & Richard Pini’s Elfquest. For me, comics largely fell by the wayside once I started collecting anime tapes/discs in the mid/late 90’s (simply a matter of free time & money, especially with video games also in the mix).

I love reading those too. I would classify those considering their length more as paper form fan comics then manga in its true form per say. The lines get blured what with so many kinds of comics out there. Though what I was refering to in terms of story structure is a graphic novel weather manga, or otherwise tends to tell a deeper story almost like a tv series in static book form. Where is a doujinshi is more like a comic strip, or web comic. At least thats how I think of it. 56 minutes ago, Ohiotaku said: I was pretty big into Marvel comics from the late 70’s through the 90’s, primarily the Spider-Man & X-men related titles.

Thats awesome. X-Men were my bread, and butter in terms of marvel series. Spider Man though is amzing the comics are really good if slightly corny at times. Though the Spider Man Ulimited cartoon series was very good short lived sad;y, but amazing at that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I normally combat this by only really paying attention to one, or two at a time at best three. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can never go wrong with the titans. My fav of them has to be Robbin though Raven is by far my favorite female hero of them, and in DC period. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
