Over the course of the past year or so I’ve become very interested in comics (or graphic novels or sequential art or whatever you want to call them) but have had a hard time finding stories that are along the lines of what I like to read. Or, perhaps to be more honest, I’ve had trouble finding comics that aren’t written for eight-year-old boys; I don’t know what it is, but something about the line “I’ll use psyonic blasts from my fists to stop him!!!” just doesn’t do it for me. (It did when I was eight though–and I have a stack of X-Men to prove it–so I guess they work for some people some of the time.)<\/p>\n
So I was thought I would ask the lovely and literate Alas crowd if they had any comic recommendations for me. I’m not especially interested in comic strips (unless they’re genius) or superhero comics, but I’ll give most anything a few pages. I don’t care what country they’re from, what direction they read, or if they’re on the internet, but I want some comics.<\/p>\n
Below is a list of what I’ve read recently. It isn’t much, but it might give you an idea of what I’ve read so far.<\/p>\n
[Update: This post has generated a plethora of recommendations. I haven’t had a chance to read any of them yet (read any of the comics, that is; I’ve read the comments) because of stuff like work and The Return of the King<\/i> but have printed up the comment threads and will start hunting. Thanks to everyone who responded!<\/i>] .<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Over the course of the past year or so I’ve become very interested in comics (or graphic novels or sequential art or whatever you want to call them) but have had a hard time finding stories that are along the … Continue reading
