Could you guys identify a comic for me? I saw one page either on the Codex or DAC some years ago, there were two astronauts wearing orange suits, one of them had their oxygen tubes rerouted to his pants and soon drowned in his own piss. I would like to read that.

Definitely sounds like something Nicolai would post, I'd ask him.

Ahh that one. It is called The Filth and was made by Grant Morrison, chris weston and Gery erskine.
It is not about austronauts though. Really weird comic. So if you do not like weird character. No handed four-titted women ect. It is one helluva big collection of fetishes in that one. Recognise it?

So... beeing a great fan of the novels:

How's the Dark Tower comic series?


Any of you guys read it?

I have not read it but from what I hear it's just a retelling of the novels.
 
I read Battle Pope, found it enjoyable though I wish it had lasted longer.

Though this would be the best place to say that The Walking Dead is going to be made into a TV series by AMC written by Darbont

EDIT

Just finished 'Wanted' as well, anyone know anything similar to that or Battle Pope?
 
So, since I'm sure many of you guys are also into comics, I pose a few questions:

Favorite books?
Favorite characters?
Favorite authors?

I was really into comics as a kid.I think i was a bit weird though because i was never into the superhero comics like everybody else.The ones i couldn't do without were Sgt.Rock,G.I. Combat,G.I. Joe,Conan,I Vampire and several other ones along the same lines.I also read the Conan graphic novels that were published monthly,or was it bi-monthly,at the time.I really loved reading those Conan Graphic novels.

My dad suprised me recently when he told me he bought me a present because i was feeling down and handed me a comic book!I was like dad i'm 35 years old why are you buying me comics?He said he remembered how much i liked them as a kid and thought it would cheer me up.He was right.I guess you are never too old to enjoy a comic book.
 
Just got the four hardcover versions of Walking Dead, and must say, it is spectacular.

Must read stuff.

Those Conan graphic novels were good stuff, they were as pulpy as everything else, but they brought a real dark, pathos compared to all the other superhero bullshit - which was just so predictable and trite. Low-fantasy, anti-hero goodness.

And if Conan cleaving people in half doesn't bring a smile to your face what will?

I wonder if their still around?

If they are they have probably rehashed alot of the story lines.Still as a kid they were amazing and the fact they were completely drawn in black and white really set them apart from the regular comics.

There also used to be a registration form in them to join a play by mail game where you took control of one of the Hyborean Age kingdoms.I sent in to join that and about four months later i got a letter saying that the game had been discontinued,but damn if that form wasn't still in there every issue.
 
I ordered Watchmen today and I'm waiting for Mister X archives that I've ordered a few days ago.

I wanted to buy Watchmen in Polish so that my mother could read them too, but for some reason it turned out that they are 160 pages shorter than the English version AND more expensive (which doesn't make sense taking in account that work is 3 times cheaper in Poland than in US - historical books and Mangas are 2-3 times less expensive than in US, but for some weird reason comic books and novels are actually more expensive.) AND completely sold out despite being printed a year ago :facepalm: .

Have you read them yet ?
If you haven't I won't spoil it for you yet but The Walking Dead features one of the best villains I've ever seen in a comic book...
First time I've ever wanted to kill a comic book character.

:twisted:

Actually, I found the part featuring that guy a bit over the top. Imo, the first two hardcovers are the best so far, but the 4th one seems to be getting better towards the end. I can't wait for the 5th one.

Also, it seems that a tv channel, called AMC, is going to do a tv series based on the comics. It'll be interesting to see what's going to come of that.

Given the accolades and awards that their other original shows have garnered, this could be promising
 
I'm starting The Walking Dead right now, have good expectations for it from what everyone has said.
 
My Mister X: The Archives have finally arrived.

Also, I'm reading Watchmen now - it's pure awesomeness.
