Reserved one spot, just in case.

[HUGOHL]

The only comics I have read are The Walking Dead 1-109 (I hate the TV series, though) and Cannibal Corpse-Unleashing the Bloodthirsty.
Can you guys enlighten me with recommendations?
I like Drama and Terror. Some un-censored drama comics would be nice.

Im working my way through The Walking Dead now. Just read the 7th trade. Picked 108 up yesterday.

My buddy reads the 28 Days Later comic books. He seems to like them. Ive heard Ragemoor and Frankenstein, Alive Alive is good, but I dont have any experience with them my self.

[whatsstrength]

I'm embarrassed to say that I regularly read the Sonic the Hedgehog comics. I started from the first issue 2 years ago and now I'm all caught up.

I've also read some of the Amazing Spider-Man comics, particularly the ones featuring Venom.

[ExtremeLimitations]

I read a few of comic books and manga. Some comic books I once used to read we're:

• Amazing Spider-Man
• Superman
• Batman
• X-Men
• Iron Man

Manga Online:

• Naruto
• Fairy Tail
• Bleach
• DragonBall Z

I've been debating making a topic for months. Thanks for doing it for me.

I'm mostly a Batman guy. So I read...

DC Comics:
Batman
Detective Comics
Batman Incorporated
Batman and Robin
Dark Knight (occasionally)
Nightwing
Batgirl
Red Hood and the Outlaws
Teen Titans
Green Arrow

Marvel:
The Ultimates
Wolverine
(I said I'm a Batman guy)

I am also slowly reading through the Walking Dead. And plan on getting Compendium 1 on Wednesday.

I have a few books I want to start reading, but haven't gotten around to...

Hawkeye
Action Comics
Ultimate Thor
Savage Wolverine
Aqua Man (he's supposedly cool now)
Avengers
Justice League
All New X-Men

I'd read everything if I had the time and money.

So, do you guys go digital? Or brick and mortar? I prefer physical books. Sure digital books look the same, if not better, but nothing beats the feeling of going down to a shop every week, and picking out your books off the rack.

Agreed. But it's not easy get physical comic books here in Mexico.
I loved it back when I was in the US. Sniffing the fresh paper...
I could order some comics online, but it's not the same, once the magic's gone, I might aswell just buy digital.

I read a few Simpsons comics when I was younger but other than that I don't really have any experience with them

The Green Woman is one you'll probably like. It has some paranormal stuff but has a lot of drama and terror.

[AceRay]

I don't have any real first-hand experience with comics but I do enjoy watching Linkara, a guy who reviews comics, I'd check him out if I were you.

Just found a 20 year old Wolverine comic in a box. It's in terrible condition, but I remember bringing it to school when I was in 5th grade, and reading it 50 times. I never got into that storyline, though, so I don't have any corresponding issues and really don't understand it.

I put it into a bag with a board for the first time ever. I really wish I would have saved some of the comics from my childhood, but I treated them like absolute sh*t. Threw them in a closet, smashed them, ripped them, threw them away. I just wish I could remember some of the titles and issue numbers of the books I used to get. I never got them on a monthly basis, it was always a spur of the moment thing when I was at the grocery store.

I especially remember a Batman comic where he stops a convenience store being robbed by a guy with an uzi or SMG. And I remember a Marvel comic with Apocalypse on the cover, and I think it was one of those weird variant covers with foil on it. I don't remember what comic either of these was in. Could be Batman, Dark Knight, X-men, X-Force. Anything.

Same here man. I can remember I had some that today would be worth a pretty penny. Only ones of note that I can recall (Its been 12 years) are:





If only I had the forethought to keep some of them in good condition. Oi.

New comics are cool, but nothing beats those classics.

The Darkness is very good, mate. I've started reading it and it's that perfect mix of humor, horror, and sex that you'd like.

Beyond that, I'm a fan of The Walking Dead, Sin City, and a little bit of Marvel/DC. Getting a hold of comics is tough for me.

Here's that Wolverine comic. THAT'S an awesome cover. Beats the covers for the new run, even though there are just two issues out. Feels good seeing a book with the CCA seal. Not that it made anything better, it's just a warm nostalgia. I hope to keep it forever. It's not that this book is worth anything. Especially in the condition it's in. Sadly the cover is hanging on by one staple, so I think I'm gonna keep it in the bag for a while. I just remember it being a spark for my love of both the character of Wolverine, and comics outside of Batman. Not that I wasn't a big X-men fan, being that I got this comic at the height of the cartoon's popularity.
