With Hellboy we had proven that he could make really good superhero titles, but we also realized that his world is quite larger and it consists of several elements, dark fantasy, cosmic horror and quite a bit of gothic romance. and I think many of the spin off titles somehow expand this world and are really completely different genres.
I'm actually never really a fan when independent superhero comics make spin-offs into a main series, because I somehow feel like it's kind of unnecessary and actually often a criticism of the Big 2 superheroes that they supposedly read too many series must ..read more

Kazuki Takahashi is probably a name not many know, but surprisingly one of his Yu-Gi-Oh creations. and you know it's kind of interesting because many people think that the anime came first with the cast game as is usual with a lot of "western" animation.
But the joke is that the manga came first, and funnily enough it wasn't even about people playing a card game. The first Yu-Gi-Oh manga (which by the way is often referred to as Zero) was generally about all kinds of games that people play in rounds. with a horror twist that a child, seen in this way, has the powers of a cruel ruler from ..read more

Hey guys,
I want to ask a question about our plans for a graphic novel that we are publishing. We will begin production on Issue #3 this summer, and Issue #2's Kickstarter is happening now. Instead of a 3-issue trade paperback OR waiting to produce a 6-issue trade paperback, we have an idea to publish a 3-issue/2-short story trade paperback. Essentially, it would read in this way: Issue #1, Short Story 1, Issue #2, Short Story 2, Issue #3. We are hoping for the cost of this thing (barring any catastrophe) to come in at around $30 retail. It will be about 120-130 pages in length. All 5 "storie ..read more

I just started reading Blacksad and the watercolor art is stunning. Kingdom Come is another example of gorgeous watercolor-esque gouache and wash painting in a graphic novel. Are there many others?
Edit: corrected because Alex Ross does not use watercolors

Hi, so I’m really into ‘Ligne claire ’ and already have works by Geof Darrow, Moebius and Hergé. What other artists that work in this ‘style’ do you recommend? Looking forward to discovering new stuff.

I’m wondering if I should be getting the ultimate collection or IDW collection? I understand the ultimate B&W is the original but wondering exactly what I’m getting in to with each of these regarding story and writing style.
I’m in my 40s and am an old school fan of the original movies and cartoon. Really not interested in the newer cartoon style at all. I tried to watch the new movie and couldn’t stand it.
I have read the last ronin and thought that was a cool reintroduction for me. I got turtle fever now and want to keep it going with your thoughts on these two series.
Thanks!

Hey guys,
I wanted to hear your thoughts on this topic. Bare in mind that Stan Lee was somewhat than the other people who worked under him. Just like Mort Wessinger. So both of them don't count.
Going back to Mort he believed that many Comic book writers would not become wealthy...etc. It was a medium where writers just stay there.
Just wanted to hear your thoughts.

Saw this mentioned here (or elsewhere on comic book reddit) so thought I'd give it a go. Any good? I like standalone stories or things out of continuity.

I wanted to get back into reading comic books and graphic novels as an adult and got "Guerillas" as a gift by a friend of mine - it's a pretty insane action story that focuses on intelligent apes who were used as soldiers in the Vietnam war. I really liked it and the art style!
I wanted to ask you guys for similar suggestions because I have a hard time finding straight up action GNs with crazy stories like that since the market seems to favor young adult-ish books with a "softer" art style now which aren't really my taste. I also appreciate surreal comics with weird, not very straightforward ..read more
