Joe Blog Posted June 13, 2020 Posted June 13, 2020 14 minutes ago, Chris B said: How much of Injustice 2 did you read? There were 36 issues - I didn't read it, but I'm under the impression it's mostly finished. Because Injustice is an alternative universe story, it's a bit difficult to suggest what you might like, because it depends which characters you liked. You might like Scott Snyder's Justice League run - especially the Metal series, perhaps. I read them all but it doesn't conclude it seemingly just ends at a certain point. I'll check out Snyder's work. Did not realise it was an alternative universe. I am so lost in the DC world. Quote

Yeah, Injustice riffs on the basic characters, but goes off into specifically a different universe. The current Brian Michael Bendis run on Superman and Action comics might be a decent starting point, actually, in terms of easing yourself in. Quote
Paid Members air_raid Posted June 28, 2020 Paid Members Posted June 28, 2020 (edited) Would there be any interest in a Transformers thread? Not a day goes by when I don’t have thoughts, questions, musings etc about the G1 comic, Marvel cartoon, toy line, Earth Wars mobile game etc. Obviously it would be a catch-all with nothing off-limits, even the Bay films if so inclined. I know it has its own forums but I’d rather post about it here if anyone else would join in. Apart from Geoff, you’re a given. Any other Trannies here? Edited June 28, 2020 by air_raid Quote
Paid Members ElCece Posted June 28, 2020 Paid Members Posted June 28, 2020 Can't say I'm much of a Transformers fan Air Raid but I read through More than Meets the eye/Lost Light last year which was bloody superb. Quote
Paid Members Chris B Posted June 28, 2020 Paid Members Posted June 28, 2020 More Than Meets The Eye (which, for those who don't know, becomes renamed Lost Light - only clarifying because I've seen people get confused when it's referred to by both names) is tremendous. With all we know about fandom, who would have thought massively gaying-up (to use a technical phrase) the Transformers would have gone down so well with so much of the fan base? Obviously helps that it was consistently funny and emotional and thrilling stuff. And it all felt so organic. Genuinely great. Quote

Wonderfully paced and written. Also Getaway was a fantastic villain. Quote
Paid Members Carbomb Posted June 29, 2020 Paid Members Posted June 29, 2020 Recently, I got into pen-and-paper roleplaying - well, in theory, as it's been via an online platform. Currently playing a game that I'm enjoying massively called Lancer, a mech pilot RPG. Anyway, the GM who organised the game mentioned that the author of the game had also created an online comic called Kill 6 Billion Demons, and strongly recommended it. I started reading at the beginning of last week and am on Book 3 now. It's fucking brilliant. It's a fantasy adventure set in a universe that's a fusion of Hindu/Buddhist religious portrayal, Abrahamic cosmology, and all sorts of other cultures' mythos in between. It's free to access online, although they also sell print copies if that's more your bag. I haven't yet tested out the RSS feed function on my tablet's gReader app yet though.

Wideload90 Posted August 20, 2020 Posted August 20, 2020 I just finished reading Darth Vader: Lord of The Sith vol. 1 (#1-12) and was impressed by how it portrayed the character after the events of EP3. It was the first collection I've read in a long time and was disappointed by how quickly I digested it compared to the price. It's just not viable to buy graphic novels anymore... Quote

Thanks very much. I've been meaning to give Judge Dredd a proper read for years. Quote
Paid Members DEF Posted August 29, 2020 Paid Members Posted August 29, 2020 I don't buy physical books anymore but this is pretty great deal. 10 graphic novels for £19.99 at Zavvi Quote

There was only 9 different books there when I ordered so had to order something twice to qualify for the deal but all that for £19.99 is great! Quote
Paid Members Jazzy G Posted September 2, 2020 Paid Members Posted September 2, 2020 Picked up some Golden Age Sub-Mariner on my Kindle the other day. Some interesting reading. I'd prefer some silver age stuff. I'll have to keep an eye on some of that in the sales. Quote
Factotum Posted September 2, 2020 Posted September 2, 2020 Picked up PULP By Brubaker and Phillips. First one since they've gone to just the graphic novel form. Really good as always. I don't think there's been a more consistent team in comics ever. Great stuff. Quote
