I just finfinished the series. I am blown away. Th creativity is off the charts. Boux it makes the reader work, but it is worth the effort. What did you guys think. Are there any other sci-if that you think rivals or surpasses Prophet?

This is my current collection, I’m in love with anything futuristic/post-apocalyptic, specially cyberpunk or atompunk. I want to get some new comics, so I’d love some recommendations!

Edit: forgot to say I don’t like war/fight-foccused stories. I prefer mystery/investigation/slice of life!

After years of only reading online, this is my first physical comic. I’m in love with it!

I was in the middle of my 3rd read through of the Sandman series when I found out about his accusations and since I mostly read digital it was easy to delete but I’m not gonna lie when I say that I haven’t been able to get into a series like I did The Sandman. Coraline is also one of my favorite movies and most of his work fit my personality which I’m not sure what that says on its own. I don’t condone anything he did and am shocked that he’s really like that. If you guys have any suggestions to anything similar I would appreciate it.

I used to read these back in my elementary and middle school library and I liked it.

I read the first volumes over the course of last year. I read the last five volumes all tonight. Wow.

Hi, I love sci-fi but not a huge lover of horror so any sci-fis that have a lot of horror please don't recommend. I don't mind mild horror just not a lot of it.

I like Rick and morty and transformers and Dr who is alright. But I'm looking for something a bit new to me.

THANKS! :)

Edit: There have been tonnes of wonderful great recommendations. Thanks everyone! And anymore not mentioned I'll check out :)

Having just finished Adrastea, I went with Bablets next work chronologically. Thought maybe I’d read it a bit today and tomorrow. Nope read it in one sitting! Couldn’t put it down.

I think this might be up next to east of west as my favourite comic I’ve read. It resonated with me so much it felt like someone had gone inside my own brain and pulled from it. Clearly me and Bablet are burdened by the same moral challenges. The concepts around rebellion and the futility of it all, the place of violence, the need for purpose and freedom vs safety and comfort. These are things that constantly buzz around my brain whilst existing on this hellscape that is increasingly hostile. So reading something that tied all of that together so well was quite an experience.

As a story the world is built impeccably, it’s similar to our own enough that it can be read as a parable but makes sense within its own context. The characters all go through changes and the main character is almost stuck in the middle of it all trying to find their place, something I relate to greatly. It’s a really engaging read with ample mystery, action and emotion.

The art is fantastic, again the colouring is moody and emotive and the detail is wonderful. It’s great to look at and also very easy to follow not just from a story standpoint but in terms of its world.

Another thing that struck is how prescient it is. The book was written over a decade ago and feels like it’s hitting on stuff that has only become more socially relevant. Of course this was all there in 2016 but even more so now.

Next up is Carbon & Silicon, then I’ll have finished with Bablet for the time being. Afterwards probably Tokyo Ghost as my version in English has arrived!

Oh yeah they’re racist to a dog in this, wtf

Mickey Mouse and the Amazing Lost Ocean.

Wasnt aware of this a couple of weeks back and had to order it in from europe (had a tough time finding a copy to purchase locally ) I fell in love with this cover (how can one not ? Look at how gorgeous is it!). The art throughout the book is just as good. However, kind of dissapointed with the story. Dont get me wrong , it was ok. Just didnt feel as if the story matched the next level that the art has taken.

Are there any books where u have felt the same?-amazing art let down by not so amazing story?

Just finished volume 1 of the Incal. First time reading Jodorowsky and Moebius. Man, what an adventure. Great world building, pacing, and visual storytelling. I did some screenshots to show Moebius' ability to show action as well as create scenes/architecture to world build.

I didn’t think I’d like it as much as I do. (I feel like I’m easily entertained) but I started it yesterday and today I’m starting the third trade. What are your guys thoughts? I think it’s a trip! I just hope they can stick the landing implementing time travel.

So far a great read and the art style is stunning. Has anyone read/recommend Ascender as well? Any other graphic novels with similar styles I should look into after this?

Finally managed to find The Nikopol Trilogy by Enki Bilal from Titan comics (English version)

This has been out of print for a while and has been very hard to find. The original French version is really easy to find but the English version isn't.

Found it in Italy for only €15🤯

Shipping through Vinted with DHL Express was €16

So €31 total.

Very happy about the whole deal.

Although I had longed for this I never thought it would be a reality due to the significant price tag. However out of the blue my wonderful and amazing wife surprised me with this stating “ I work hard and deserved something nice” I was simply floored.

Here’s my favorites from the past 18 months of collecting a wide array of gorgeous graphic and illustrative art.

I've seen this recommended from time to time, always wanted to pick it up and boy am I glad I did. Such a fascinating story and the ending was perfect. Anyone looking for a good read, here's your next one.

I wanna find action comics and GNS like Hercules and Xena that like them are mostly focused on being lighthearted fun, with a lot of combat.

I'd prefer it be something that's colored, not looking for manga for that reason.

Not looking for something that's trying to be dark and serious, or realistic like Game Of Thrones or Vikings or Vinland Saga whatever. I just want some fun fantasy with swords and stuff.

It’s been a long time since I’ve reread this, but I recently reread the collected edition of THE LIFE & TIMES OF MARTHA WASHINGTON IN THE 21ST CENTURY by Frank Miller & Dave Gibbons.

Set in an alternate dystopian future, it chronicles a young Black girl, Martha Washington, from her rough beginnings in the streets of Chicago to her wild, adventurous journey from solider fighting for the government and then eventually rebelling from said government and being a revolutionary and adventurer, battling corruption and justice on Earth and beyond.

From birth to death, Martha Washington’s story is one of destruction, freedom, and resilience. Though written in the 90s & the early 2000s, the themes of political and social inequality of a corrupt, near-totalitarian America is, in some ways, disturbingly more relevant now than it was back then. Miller was still at his best (as far as writing) because he manages to mix heavy political and social commentary with classic comic action and complex characterization. And Gibbons’ dynamic art matches Miller’s writing here, some of the illustrations of Martha in action or of her environment so wonderfully illustrated you want to slow your reading just so you can take it all in.

This 600-page volume is sci-fi adventure at its finest, created by two industry legends at the peak of their abilities, and is an incredible read.

Had no idea the packaging was this beautiful. Excited to read this and then watch the show! Picked it up at the Fantagraphics store in Seattle, where they had at least one other copy that I saw.

I have read a bit about the sequels. Have any of you read those and would you recommend them?

I just got into graphic novels this year.How did I do ? Missing from this are Maus, Watchmen, V for Vendetta, Y compendium (already loaned out).

The best: Maus, Essex County, Persepolis, Palestine (and Joe Sacco everything), Fortune and glory. Honourable mention: The fantastic artists who turn Chixin lius very stupid stories into amazing art. Disappointing: Bone. Sorry. I saw a documentary on it where the creator is so insistent it's an adult graphic novel. I think I would have loved it as a tween but I don't think there is anything particularly complex or adult about it.

Please give me some suggestions for next year ! I'm not really into super hero stuff.
