What are your favorite comics?

I was just wondering how many people on filsharingtalk read comic books. I know there is a fairly large file sharing community out there and, as a result, its difficult to really narrow down anything new to read as almost everything is available.

Most of the stuff I read is stuff I already buy and collect anyway. I figure the responses I get here will give me a good indication of whether or not I should ever mention comics in the forum again :whistling

Anyway. My alltime favorite comic is The Sandman by Neil Gaiman.

My current favorite is Fables by Bill Willingham and Co. I also greatly enjoy X-Factor. The X-Men are my guilty pleasure, and X-Factor is the best written book amongst the family of books, imo.

Does anyone else have anything they'd like to recommend? I tend to like Vertigo comics and I lean towards planned stories rather than serials. So um.. Savage Dragon is not my cup of tea. I also happen to believe we are in a golden age of comics (or maybe slowly exiting one... after all the comic book movies fade out). And that the early to mid-90s were a dark dark time for fans of good stories.

i was just reading calvin & hobbes, i really like some themes around the kid
, by the way does anyone know a place where there's comics for download?
i mean calvin and hobbes, and other of course :p

Robotech and the fantistc 4

First post!

i actually just started to read comics. I dled y-the last man by accident and have since moved on to spider-man, the new x-men and I have all the House of M and Civil War comics. I don't know if this is really noob of me to say, but i love spider-man, freaking hilarious.

x-men and spider-man

Non sequitur
frank miller
and some other random stuff i see in the papers
I hate most which apear in newspapers though - too easy.

I recommend The Invisibles by Grant Morrison - this is quite a mindf*** - i luv it.

I tend to buy the trade paperback version. My favourite is probably the Preacher series but I really enjoyed Watchmen, The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen and From Hell. I have most of the trade paperbacks of The Sandman but I haven't really got round to reading them yet. I should really try and read The Dark Knight Returns as well. I have a load of different ones on my book shelf waiting to be read like Promethea and Tom Strong. I find it difficult to read them on my computer or laptop so I have to buy them if I really want to read them.

My all time favorites are :
- Sandman (Neil Gaiman)
- Usagi Yojimbo (Stan Sakai)

I like Frank Miller and a few others as well (Books of magic, Death, ...)

Spiderman (all except Ultimate)
The Authority
Powers
The Watchmen
X-Men (all except Ultimate)
The Age Of Apocalypse run
Alpha Flight (the first 30 or so issues)
Mutant X (the one with Havok)
Origin
Wolverine
Daredevil
The New Mutants
Rising Stars
The Invisibles
Evil Ernie
Planetary
Thunderbolts
Alias (Marvel MAX)
What If?
Marvel Comics Presents
Crisis On The Infinite Earths
Spawn
WildC.A.T.S.
Preacher

....to name a few

X men and spider man

Green Lantern, and Wolverine are prolly my 2 favorite ongoing.

Of all time, I'd say Shade: The Changing Man, The Watchman, Sandman, Preacher, Kingdom Come, Marvels, and all the Age Of Apocalypse miniseries.

Marvel has always made my favorite books. Avengers, Ms. Marvel, She Hulk, Civil War have been on my recent read list.

My all time favorites, in no particular order...

The Sandman
Transmetropolitan
Watchmen
Keepers of the Maser

Great comics

Watchmen, The Dark Knight Returns, and anything X-men

I stopped reading comics for several years already. I have X-Men and X-Factor collections but they are now gathering dusts. :)

I'm now reading Marvel Civil War series. Not bad. :)

by far -- calvin and hobbies

fantistc 4-x men and spider man

I like Conan The Barbarian, Dylan Dog and Batman (all editions).
I also enjoy reading short comics like Calvin and Hobbes, Hogar the Horrible or Garfield...

Sin City,V for Vendeta,300

Here's my recommendations :-

The League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen - Alan Moore ..... humerous alternate-history victorian madness , really quite glorious .

Transmetroplitan - Warren Ellis ..... cynical cyberpunk futurism, jam packed with invention .

Y - The Last Man - Brian K Vaughn ..... a biological disaster has un-manned the world, with the exception of Yorick, the last man . Brilliant .

War Of The Worlds / Scarlet Traces - Ian Edgington ...... post alien invasion, alternate history trilogy, inventive & stylish .

Boneyard - Richard Moore ...... sexy supernatural comedy .

Chicanos - Carlos Trillo ...... brilliantly observed stories of a less than perfect, female Latino private detective, strangely uplifting.

Courtney Crumrin - Ted Naifeh ...... a young girls delightfully dark dabblings in the supernatural .

Lenore - Roman Dirge ...... the twisted adventures of a cute little dead girl .

The Complete Concrete - Paul Chadwick ...... how a man, who's transformed into a near indestructable, super strong being, adapts to his new abilities . Not your normal super-hero fluff .

Jiraishin...

They're great when you start reading them from the pov that he has schizophrenia. My favorites are for example all superheroes (dc/marvel/image all goes), pretty much everything by Vertigo (Fables maybe biggest love), black hole, persepolis.... Too many to list tbh!

I'm reading a lot of Crime and horror comics from 40's and 50's. Thank you demonoid for being the best comics torrent site in da world!

comics of the spider man :))

dont know if it counts as a comic. but i like to read a daily comic over at Ctrl+Alt+Del

Grube.

Daredevil

IF you mean comic strips then it has go to be Calvin & Hobbes - (own the omnibus too it's gold), followed closely by Oveerboard and The Far Side :)

Wrt comic books I haven't read any in recent years as they aren't worth the price but during my heyday in the lat 80s -late 90s my favorites included Spiderman (all titles, but Venom saga was one of the best esp wrt art), the main X-Men titles (X-ecutioner's Song and AoA were the best sagas there), Hulk (Mr. Fixit saga was the bomb!), Batman (DK & Detective Comics - loved Knightfall), & Daredevil (in that order).
