It's ostensibly about pro wrestling although there's not been much of it featured so far. I read the first story arc, and it was fairly decent. The second arc is just about to be begin too, so I'll stick with it for now Quote

The second arc is just about to be begin too, so I'll stick with it for now Strangely enough, I came across a Ringside graphic novel when I was in Waterstones the other day. Had a quick flick through but didn't really like the artistic style. What's the deal with it? Is it published as an ongoing issue format and what I'd have been flicking through a collection? I thought it was just a one-shot graphic novel. Quote
WyattSheepMask Posted August 13, 2016 Posted August 13, 2016 What you'll have seen is the collected version of the story arc, which ran over the first fives issues Quote
Panhead Posted August 13, 2016 Posted August 13, 2016 I'd recommend Paper Girls and Southern Bastards. Most of the Mark Millar stuff is great too. Especially American Jesus. Quote
Paid Members BigJag Posted August 13, 2016 Paid Members Posted August 13, 2016 Just continuing on from the Transformers MTME mentions. Has anyone watched the new Transformers-Combiner Wars series on YouTube? It can be found on the Machinima channel. Quote
Merzbow Posted August 14, 2016 Posted August 14, 2016 Has anyone read the Squirrel Girl comic? I only have the 1st issue so far but it's a hoot and charming as all hell. But there's one thing, there seems have been a reboot right in the middle of the series and it's left me a tad confused as it went back to number 1. Quote
Polish Dad Posted August 14, 2016 Posted August 14, 2016 It's my favourite current series. Been reading Ryan North since he started Dinosaur Comics.The numbering is unfortunate, but the series itself is still essentially continuous. Makes it an awkward read, but worth it since it's hilarious. Quote
Merzbow Posted August 14, 2016 Posted August 14, 2016 I've just grabbed the first 8 issues before the reboot, I feel like I'm about to overload on quirky with this and JoJo's Bizarre Adventure at the same time. I managed to find Watchemen for £1.50 too, that'll change things up. Quote
Paid Members SpursRiot2012 Posted August 14, 2016 Paid Members Posted August 14, 2016 Started reading Transmetropolitan. It's great. I mean, you guys already know that. And that one screen where he talks about lies being truth and news being obsolete in one of the early issues - well, pretty fitting for the world were in. Quote
Paid Members Bellenda Carlisle Posted September 24, 2016 Paid Members Posted September 24, 2016 It was slim pickings at my library so I read the Death of Wolverine; I wasn't expecting much but it still disappointed. I hate it when they kill off big characters anyway but this was particularly weak, a totally run of the mill Wolverine story that he was suddenly dead at the end of. Has he come back yet? Quote
Retro Red Posted September 25, 2016 Posted September 25, 2016 It was slim pickings at my library so I read the Death of Wolverine; I wasn't expecting much but it still disappointed. I hate it when they kill off big characters anyway but this was particularly weak, a totally run of the mill Wolverine story that he was suddenly dead at the end of. Has he come back yet? Sort of. Marvel did a big reboot/retcon event last year which allowed them to pick and choose characters from various timelines and universes into one ongoing timeline, in Wolverine's case they have brought the 'Old Man Logan' character from his universe into the main Marvel Universe, so he's alive, but is an old man who killed all the X-Men in his own timeline. X23 (a female clone of Logan) is the current Wolverine, her comic is ok, but it's nothing special. Quote
WyattSheepMask Posted February 14, 2017 Posted February 14, 2017 Can anyone recommend any decent Incredible Hulk reading. I've had a bit of a search, and aside from the occastionally mention of Hulk:Gray everything just seems to be people with a rager for Planet Hulk Quote
Paid Members Jazzy G Posted February 14, 2017 Paid Members Posted February 14, 2017 Has anyone read the Squirrel Girl comic? I only have the 1st issue so far but it's a hoot and charming as all hell. But there's one thing, there seems have been a reboot right in the middle of the series and it's left me a tad confused as it went back to number 1. They dropped the series for the big crossover/reboot and then started it again afterwards. Same thing happened with Howard The Duck. They're both great reads, although Howard has been dropped again shortly after the Animal House crossover with Squirrel Girl. I'd also Recommend Gwenpool if you're into those slightly left field sideways glance style comics that aren't afraid to play hard and fast with conventions. Quote
stevieg1980 Posted February 14, 2017 Posted February 14, 2017 (edited) Has anyone been getting the fortnightly Transformers UK hardbacks? They are costly at a tenner but the four I'm very bought have been good to fantastic reads. Roll on the complete Time Wars in hardback form. Plus has anyone read the Judge Dredd files? Are they worth getting? Edited February 14, 2017 by stevieg1980 Quote

Waiting for the third issue to be delivered. Picked up the first two from WH Smiths. Absolute bargain at the introductory prices. Target 2006, Book 1,was £1.99! Still good value even at full price. Plus you get free gifts if you subscribe. A little concerned that the next issue hasn't arrived yet. Especially as I have seen it in some shops.I highly recommend picking up the first two if they are still available at the shops. The quality is impressive. http://www.transformerscollection.com/?gclid=Cj0KEQiA8orFBRCEpODivaOft_EBEiQAy3mlfQGy9dd8G7qHFbdBowSyuE7NT5bQ1s3GS2iLJEaIKJQaAi758P8HAQ World War Hulk is fun. To whoever was asking about Hulk books. Edited February 14, 2017 by BigJag Quote
