Post your favorite comic book of this year

archie reboot was also pretty cool
This counts as this year right?
Honorable mentions to Tokyo Ghost and Paper Girls.
This was the most fun I had reading a comic this year.
Are there more than eight people here who actually read comic books?
>>78032721

>>78033910
>only 6 unique IPs
there aren't even that many

>>78032769
>>78034581
>archie reboot
You two better mean jughead
I know i'm probably forgetting something but nothing has hit me as hard as Paper Girls
>>78033910
so worried about forgetting shit that I didn't post
>>78034753
>Chip Zdarsky and Erica Henderson
I don't see how they possibly could
>>78037307
>bland waid vs. fun zdarsky
>>78037349
>liking Zdarsky
>>78037472
>preferring Waid
It's more boring than regular Archie was
>>78037510
Archie reboot isn't great either, but it's a fucksight better than Jughead
>>78037570
Not a chance.
At least Zdarsky knows how Archie works
>>78037612
Zdarsky writes a miserable Jughead. His version cares so fucking much.
>>78037612
I bet you think Sex Criminals is funny because "lol they drew a willy"
>>78037694
>Fraction
Fuck no.
>>78037681
Caring too much is better than boring.
Blubber
Usagi Yojimbo's comeback
The new Rogues! series
Omega Men
Head Lopper
The two good parts of The IslandBloodstrike
>>78037720
Jughead not giving a flying fuck is integral to the character, he was a good guy who was responsible in a pinch, but not the bleeding heart he's made out to be. The change is the personification of why the maudlin Degrassi shit doesn't work.
>>78037992
I'd rather that than boring as fuck Jughead.
>>78037720
Waid
>boring and bland
>not funny
>servicable art
3.5/10 overall
Zdarksy
>slightly entertaining, however uses shitty fantasy scenes to achieve some of this
>not funny
>Title character completely OOC
>horrific art
2/10 overall
Both are shit
>>78038142
>Waid gets more points out of nowhere
>>78038172
it's not Waid getting the points, it's the art, fucknut
My favorite thing all year. How man people do I have to sacrifice to what gods to get a regular old-school Marvel Family title from the same team?

I'm totally gay for Mike Allred, but this book just isn't grabbing me.
>>78038558
it reminds me a lot of Milligan's Paradax, and that's why I like it I guess
>>78038497
>Hip-Hop Family Tree
Ed Piskor can't draw and he dresses like an idiot

>>78032969
This, exactly what i always wanted to do with a time machine.
>>78032969
>>78040054
>even Millarfags think it's shit
baka senpai
>>78039646
I only liked the Stokoe one.
>>78039646
They're not much in terms of individual issues, but this shit is some straight-up visual ART if you read it all at once.
The ending is perfect.
>>78032642
Godzilla in Hell was rad as fuck, I also think Ant-Man is pretty excellent.I'm also having fun with Jem and the Holograms, even though parts of it are kinda shit.
>>78040088
Who thinks it's shit? Seriously? Where is the evidence that Chrononauts was poorly received?
MODOK Assassin
And I'll never see him again :'(
>>78040636
>Millar's weakest plot in years
>characters that are more flat than a piece of looseleaf
This is the literal definition of wasting an artist
>>78040661
what is "any book written by Brian Michael Bendis," Alex
>>78040661
Ok. You didn't like it. That's one person.
>>78032642
So was the kid bullshitting about having powers?
Or was it just coincidence that someone died?
>>78040648
>secret wars
shit taste dude
>>78040819
I think we're meant to think he's bullshitting but it'll turn out he actually has powers
>>78032721
you would dave. I'm not even saying you're wrong, just that you would pick this
>>78040561
which is why i'm trade waiting on this, as bad as i feel about it
>>78032721
Does Moore ever come up with original ideas? bad choice by the way
>>78041059
It really is sublime - although yeah I do have an inclination toward Avatar Press and Lovecraft.
>>78041210
>bad choice by the way
Best Lovecraft story in any media in years.
And that's not faint praise
>tfw no comics this year matched the greatness of 2013's best comic of the year Forever Evil
>>78040819
>>78040911
He's definitely bullshitting.
Brian K. Vaughn's output was pretty generic this year
mark millar's huck and chrononauts are both bad, but huck even more offensively so
DC had a couple good books as did marvel, but some good in a sea of shit.
I'm counting Vertigo separate and saying their new line has been solid so far
IDW put out two things i liked, godzilla in hell and transformers v gi joe
valiant had ninjak
image other than vaughn was mostly decent, like monstress, descender and the hickman stuff
>>78041286
forgot dark horse, uh kindt's stuff was really good as usual. looking forward to dept h
>>78041286
>their new line has been solid so far
I want them to be the new top tier creator-owned publisher over Image, like old times
Purely out of nostalgia/brand loyalty, and nothing against Image
>>78041362
vertigo doesn't offer a better deal unfortunately in some areas but it offers a better deal in others
I see Vertigo now as being a tone. Like certain books have that sort of semi-indescribable vertigo tone. like how invisibles could only be published by vertigo because its such a vertigo thing
I miss Saucer Country.
Copra of course.
>dat issue that was basically just one long bad ass action scene
>>78041598
>tfw stuck reading copra in trades because some fuckers won't support the revolution and scan past issue 12
