For Noir stuff, you could try some Ed Brubaker/Sean Phillps stuff.

IMHO, their best work is Criminal. There are seven volumes now and although they all exist in the same universe, each is a separate story. It’s crime-noir; desperate characters in dire situations.

The Fade Out is a murder mystery in the golden age of Hollywood and is only three volumes from start to finish.

For Trad-fantasy, Rat Queens is a hilarious saga of four questing women. There’s also Hugh Welchman’s Hound graphic novels that are based on the same mythology as 2000AD’s Slaine character. Two of the three are out already.

Read Wilson by Daniel Clowes on the weekend. Enjoyed it and will read again (only takes about an hour), but it sure made me sad.

Picked up a copy of Frank Miller’s Hard Boiled which I’m probably going to tear through in an evening.

Heyyyyyyy.

I love The Manhattan Projects (@plasticniki @sadpunk) - it’s completely bonkers in a very entertaining way. However it’s been suffering from an awful publishing schedule the last few years - there have been four new issues (and one trade collecting them) since November 2014, and there’s nothing further seemingly on the way.

Has anyone else found the price of physical trades has shot up since the Brexit vote? Image stuff in my local FP has gone up from £11 a book to £14 :frowning:

Fucking Brexit.

Currently new stuff I’m loving: Briggs Land, Kill or Be Killed and Eclipse

Also highly recommend this, it’s a great little story and raises money for a good cause:

just finished reading all of y the last man, which I really enjoyed, although I appreciate it’s pretty old now
will have a look at some of these mentioned, ta

Any Tom King fans around? Finished The Vision and Sheriff of Babylon, both outstanding in their own different ways. I was picking them up as they were released, but they both read much better as a completed work.

Those are both on my list to get to eventually. It’s a long list :frowning:

(fucking brexit)

They’ve made it into a film haven’t they - I think Woody Harrelson is Wilson.

One of my very favourite things. I rescued all my trades from my mum’s house earlier in the year, ended up binging through the last 5 or 6 volumes in one sitting on a Saturday morning, the story just picks up such velocity it was impossible to put down.

Also, the little single-issue side stories featuring the secondary characters are just wonderful. They add so much to the world it creates.

Gonna try and pick up Green Valley later today. That’d take my pull list up to five though, erp.

Anyone reading DC’s The Flintstones? It’s absolutely fantastic, they’re really nailing the subversive social commentary. Some of the funniest stuff I’ve read in ages.

#39

just read descender volume 3. so good, doesn’t progress the story much but goes back and explains loads of back story, really works.

I read this recently too - so, so good! :slight_smile:
