It was Batman RIP, looking at the part he"s thinking of right now.Zhaun"s_Shade said:
If you"re looking for when Batman comes back theres Return of Bruce Wayne and Bruce Wayne: Road Home
Return is him actually coming back through time (Kind of gay actually, I was told to skip it and should have listened).
Road Home is alright, it focuses on one shots of all the characters finding out Batman is back. It"s 8 one shots all by diff writers/artists so they vary in decency.

You guys reading Age of X? Bought my first physical comics for the first time in ~15 years this weekend... jumped cold into Age of X alpha, 1, 2, the latest Avengers because I love Infinity Gauntlet stuff and grabbed the last 2 issues of FF even though I"d already downloaded them.
Think I"m going to set up a pull box and everything for the X-books, just miss collecting. A little sad to see packs (like Infinity Gauntlet 1-6, West Coast Avengers 1-50, ROM 1-whatever) of comics I own sold for $0.50-$2/issue... I remember some of them selling for more than that the month after they released. What a dead market outside of art and whatnot.
Helps that Maximum Comics (here in Vegas) is pushing hard to be likeable and active too, lots of giveaways, discounts, etc. After the store that I worked at closed there wasn"t really anything like that here since.
Age of X looks like it could be a lot of fun or not amount to much, interested in how they involve the marvel we all love/loathe.

Just got back from a comic convention. Picked up an issue of 100 Bullets. It"s one I"ve always wanted to read I just haven"t gotten around to it until now.
I know they"ve been doing it forever, but I wish they"d get away from showing things on the cover that don"t happen in the book. What is it now, 2 or 3 covers showing The Hood wielding the Infinity Gauntlet and he"s only got 2 gems?
Man, I am shocked not more people have brought up The Walking Dead. I just finished reading the first 8 TPB and Jesus, this comic is fucking excellent.
Any comic that a main character can die at any moment and actually stay dead (to undead then dead again) makes for great reading. You never know who is going to die next, and they really do kill off a fuck ton of characters.
Fantastic writing and worth the money.
And one of the more shocking moments:
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
The guy on the table is the main character Rick. He and two others just found a town of people and thought they were safe. Nope, The guy cutting off his hand is one of the more evil SOB I have read in a comic. This is not even close to the most shocking thing in Volume 5 of the TPB. Amazing stuff in this comic guys. Rick just gets shit on just about all the time. Poor bastard...

I bought the first couple TPB"s of Walking Dead right before the series started on AMC. Decided to hold off on reading them to enjoy the show, and now I am hesitant to read any of them. I love the show and I know if I read the books I"ll love them too, but I"ll not get full enjoyment out of the show.
It"s hard, because I am a Kirkman fanboy(if that wasn"t obvious from my non-stop Invincible pimping), but in this one case I decided to take the series in from a different source. And I"m happy, but still torn.

Don"t worry about the comics ruining the show, the show stayed true to the comics for about 1 episode I think.
The comics are also much much better than the show, I know it"s the old books are always better than movies argument but in this case it really is true, things happen in the comics that don"t have a hope in hell of making it onto television for a variety of reasons, they really do kill off characters just when you start to really like them ALL the time.

Walking Dead is my most favorite comic book. The show was such a letdown I stopped after the 4th episode. The characters in the comic book are way more fleshed out.
I hope Rick dies so the story focuses on his son being a stone cold zombie killing bad ass.

Couldn"t agree more with what everyone here is saying about Walking Dead. The comics have things I don"t think they"re ever going to be able to put on AMC.
As for the show, did anyone else feel like they blew their Zombie special effect budget in the first episode? Every episode after that felt like 45 minutes of Lifetime original drama and 5 minutes of zombies.

Happened across The Red Star, one of the more interesting comics I have recently read. Good shit, sadly it seems to be on permanent hiatus.

Just wanted to say thanks for this thread. I"ve tried various times over the years to get into comics more seriously but I never know where to start, and the "advice" I get from the typically non-communicative subhumans that work in comic stores has always failed to inspire. Anyway, good one.
One of the more creative and interesting settings its fucking lame its just wasted like that. How does a setting get a PnP game but dies after a dozen issues?!Grimmlokk said:

I have the hard cover version.
Know Snakebite too. here"s his site.
art by snakebite
he"s a little crazy. haha. He influenced me alot for a while. Much of his work, was right along the lines of what I wanted to do. More natural, painted, lineart and painted worked merged into a single element. At the time, the cut and grad method was very dominate. Not as much anymore, many people have gotten on board.
Hes gotten out of comics. Teaches ps, does some animation. Has gotten into doing tattoos.

Wow, I just finished an amazing comic book called Daytripper and thought I would just drop in and put out a recommendation for it. There"s no action, and it doesn"t involve superheroes, so it might not be for everyone, but it"s just a great story, full with awesome art.

Anyone read downloaded comics on their ipad? Comic Zeal pretty much the best out there? Seems to be working pretty awesome so far but thought it was worth asking.
Guessing the already lame Marvel Unlimited subscription is only for a PC? Seeing different numbers of comics available for iOS (1400) and online (9000+). That"s really awful.

Speaking of Marvel Digital Comics, I got a free month when I got Marvel vs Capcom 3.meStevo said:
Do they basically put up a few comics in a storyline and then not finish putting them up intentionally? It basically destroys any urge I have to subscribe.
