Comic Books
A place to discuss comic books of all types, from old to new, Big 2 to indie, and everything in between.
Floppies, graphic novels, compilations, omnibusses (omnibusi?) are all fair game.
There is only one rule:*
Comic Books is a no judgement zone.
You can talk all you want about how Rob Liefeld is trash, Bob Kane is an asshole, or Frank Miller and Dave Sim’s politics have made them toxic, that’s all good.
If, however, another user is LEGITIMATELY a fan of something you don’t like, that does NOT make them a lesser person. Attack the art for being bad, not the person for being a fan of bad art.
* I lied. There are TWO rules... No piracy. Cover shots? That's good. Interior pages, in moderation? Sure. Full books? Links to pirate sites? That's how we get things shut down. :(
I'm not saying it's been a problem, because it hasn't been.

So I am still new with comics, only started reading them 3 months ago. I am currentl making my way through X-men and Batman first year, but there are so many comics out there.
If I look at this list it is daunting how many there are released every single week. I have been googling some of your interests, and they look cool. How do you know from this long list what catches your interest?
Tbh I'm still pretty new too, like maybe 6mo in lol. Welcome to the club!
Yeah there are a lot for sure, for me it's easier because I'm not super into super heroes or manga so I can ignore like, most of it. Usually I look to the creator owned side of things for something horror or SF sounding (or most issue #1s) and check out the cover, if it looks good I'll give it a chance at least. Or recommendations from other people and googling it like you're already doing lol. And sometimes some cover in my local shop will just catch my eye and I'll have to investigate it at least, I don't always buy em buy I'll flip through and maybe buy em if they look like I'll be into it.
Awesome, thanks! And you also welcome to the club!
