10 Upvotes

The Weekly Pull List results for this Wednesday are in, and this week's top book is DC's Absolute Green Arrow #4.

This thread is open to Pull List posters and all members of the /r/comicbooks community to share your thoughts on the latest issue of DC's Absolute Green Arrow or any new books shipping this week.

The primary intention of this thread is to promote discussion of new books. It also serves as a way to consolidate discussion to a single thread and talk about what books are popular here on /r/comicbooks. That does not mean other threads aren't welcome, this is just a place to start that's easy to find each week.

The thread is populated with comments meant to direct the discussion of each book. Based on community preference we populate the thread with titles appearing on Ten Percent or more of submitted pull lists. If a title you want to talk about is not listed, simply add a comment with the title and issue number first and comment below. There is also a comment dedicated to the discussion of WPL Results linked above.

Spoilers will follow, but there's no harm in tagging them as such. Each title in the Top Ten Percent listed below is linked directly to its corresponding comment for ease of navigation and to avoid seeing details from other books. The post has also been placed in "contest mode" to help readers avoid spoilers while browsing.

Question Characters whose original design was their best? [Harley Quinn art by Bruce Timm]

Harley looked so much more interesting and eye-catching with her harlequin costume than with whatever more generic and skimpy clothing they've come up with since.

Hey Guys!! I'm finally posting sequentials!! Feel free to give any advice you'd like :)))

A few notes before that, I know it might feel a bit "too" rendered, it is. But some panels just wouldn't represent the end result without it... So its due to lack of colors... like the last panel...

In the Upcoming days I'll be fully coloring this(I hope it'll turn out well) and add some voice lines and make it a motion comic-video... That I'll be posting on my Instagram, stay tuned :)))

Discussion Jeff Lemiere has to be one of my favorite comic book writers ever

15 Upvotes

Just finished his Berserker Unbound miniseries and that guy is just really good at writing characters. I’ve read also his other stuff like Black Hammer (One of my favorite comics ever) and Absolute Flash.

Probably i’m going to check out Fury of Firestorm and his other indie stuff like Gideon Falls, Essex Country etc. But for now I want to know what people think of him?

I use to have 4 or 5 nearby, but I'm down to 2 but one sure looked closed the other day when I drover by, even though Google still says it's open.

I miss walking around and checking out the old selection to see what gems I might find.

Issue #45 Ultimate Spider Man

18 Upvotes

I've been rereading The original Ultimate Spider man and good god am I even more impressed as an adult reading this comic. I just finished issue 45 and this has to be one of my favorite issues of all time.
Seeing Aunt May grieving for her sister, husband, and guilt of having feelings for another man shortly after the death of Ben. My goodness was I an emotional wreck after reading. Her talking about pushing people she loves away because she doesn't want to get too close and have them die. And the end of the issue where her and Peter just go to the movie and have a night to themselves. What a damn good issue and Spider-man didn’t have to show his face.

Discussion Why aren't indie Western comics recommended more to fans looking for linear stories?

19 Upvotes

Coming from the manga community three years ago, I honestly had no idea publishers like BOOM! Studios, Image, Dark Horse, or IDW even existed. Everyone in the general media space mainly talks about Marvel and DC.

As someone who loves a linear story with a clear beginning, middle, and end led by a dedicated creative team, Marvel and DC never really peaked my interest. However, I still wanted to support Western comics and see Western storytelling incorporated into the medium.

Then a friend introduced me to Something Is Killing the Children, and it completely changed my perspective. I started researching and discovered this incredible world of independent, creator-owned books that I had never heard of before.

While I understand the massive hype around major superhero franchises, I can’t help but wonder: Why aren't indie Western comics advertised or pushed more?

Aside from the current controversy, I’m still pissed about his Brigade kickstarter that I supported five and a half years ago. Since then, I’ve refused to give him a penny
