I figured it would be nice to get a thread up for questions and comments that people may think don’t deserve their own thread.
- What are you reading?
- What did you recently read that was good?
- What did you recently read that was bad?
- Do you have recommendations?
I just got done with Walking Dead (I know) and I couldn’t help but enjoy the preview of Murder Falcon in the back of an issue. It’s a story about a guy who gets the power to summon a giant muscly falcon with the power of playing metal. It’s surprisingly heartfelt and bittersweet and it only runs for 8 issues so you can knock it out in a day if you really want to.
I also really like the new Ultimate Spider-Man stuff they’re doing. It’s nice to see Peter happy but I can’t shake the feeling that they’re gonna ruin his life very soon. Honestly I’m happy when Marble does anything that isn’t the same thing they’ve been doing for 30 years. Check out Ultimate X-Men as well if you like capeshit type stuff.
I reread “The Overcoat” by Gogol recently, now I’m trying to get into Bartleby the Scrivener after I heard it’s basically the American version of The Overcoat. Both are about nobody bureaucrats, which is cool
i tried looking those up and there were no pictures in them. i’m pissed
I would kill for a manga version of either. I also have the first volume of Berserk, but I already read it online
that’s another one i have to read! i’ll get to it after i’m done binging the dragon ball show. what other manga do you like?
Berserk is the only one I’ve really read. I have a terrible attention span. I dont really watch anime unless I’m with friends, but I’ve come a long way from being an “ewww anime and manga” guy in school. My buddy recommended Berserk and there arent a lot of great anime adaptations so I started reading it and I just got hooked. It has literally all the trigger warnings, reader discretion advised, but it has a lot to say about friendship and what you should fight for
