Kerdese Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 (edited) I’m always looking for a good read, but not 700 pages worth. I’m curious, what comic book doesn’t get enough attention? Which one would you recommend to another comic book reader? If you’re looking, for me, it’s The Incredible Hulk 454. I randomly bought this book at a time when I wasn’t collecting, and I was pleasantly surprised that the writing was on par with the art. It’s no Kingdom Come, but it’s good and just random enough that some collectors might’ve missed it.

For some reason, it reminds me a little of stranger things. Kerdese 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesse-Lee Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 I always really liked the Batman: Venom (no, not that Venom) story line from Legends of the Dark Knight 16-20. Also, Going Sane from Legends of the Dark Knight 65-68 is a really cool Joker story too. There are actually quite a few great stories that came out of the LotDK run… Kerdese 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't really find any lists to read, so I'm gonna look at the Hill House titles, and now SIKTC. Any other ones you might recommend?

The other horror series I have heard good things about is Stray Dogs. Something about how it is like silence of the lambs. Haven't had a chance to buy it yet because I'm about to read my Y the last man omnibus. If you end up getting it, let me know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trade paperback doesn't come out for another month. Honestly not sure if I'd be interested in a story about dogs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's by the same author of SIKTC. ender 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just commented on the Voldy boards this morning that "The Nice House on the Lake" is possibly the dumbest title I have ever seen. Didn't realize that it was horror.

For random comics that read in a single issue without need to see others in the run,my favorite is definitely sandman 18 dream of a thousand cats,that is a great book!

catman76 Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 (edited) Anything by Kim Deitch. I know it's not what anyone here is looking for, but I always suggest anything that's not superhero drek form the last 50 plus years. Deitch has consistently been making comics since the 60s and they just keep getting better and better. His latest comic from 2019 "Reincarnation Stories" is amazing. Nothing of his gets enough attention unfortunately... Edited August 19, 2021 by catman76 143ksk and Turnando 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
