Comic Book Thread
Posted: Thu Jun 21, 2012 12:35 am
I could have sworn there was already a thread for this but after searching, I couldn't find one.
So anyone here into comics or graphic novels besides me? I'm not hardcore into them or anything but there are a couple notable things I REALLY love.
First of all, ever since I saw Watchmen in theaters, I've loved the series ever since. It's my all time favorite movie, and it lead me to buy the graphic novel for it. And it's my favorite story ever written. I love the multilayered story and all of the characters. It's not just another comic/story to me, because when I first saw the movie it really impacted me due to of alot of things in my life that I was dealing with at the time, and it's the first movie that actually made me FEEL something. Really love this series, so I'm actually getting all of the Before Watchmen books as they come out as well. They aren't by the original author, but I don't care. The first issue is very well written and I'm always up for more Watchmen material. There's a high respect for the original novel as well from these new authors.
I also really dig V for Vendetta, Sin City, The Killing Joke, and From Hell. And the animated adaptations of the comics that I've seen are Batman: Year One and Batman: Under The Red Hood and I really like those as well.
There's also Eternal Descent which is really cool. It's a series by this guy named Llexi Leon who started as a musician with a band of the same name, and he took the world of Metal music and combined it with a fantasy world type comic. Very cool stuff. I've only read the first issue, but I do plan on getting the graphic novel eventually.
As you can see I'm more into graphic novels rather than a comic series that has hundreds of issues. I like the story to actually have some kind of conclusion; don't like it to be too overdone. I haven't been into this stuff for too long, as like I said, it started with Watchmen in 2009. But so far I've been introduced into some amazing stuff.

Also if any of you have any recommendations, do let me know. I'm really into the darker themed stuff. Don't really care for Superman, Spiderman or Fantastic 4 mainly because I just don't like the characters.
