Comics

Also catching up on www.freakangels.com, you can buy the books, but it's free online and there's an episode uploaded every Friday. Psychic Shoreditch hipsters in post-apocalyptic flooded London shock...

This stuff is pretty good. Hadn't heard of it before now, thanks for that.

Will Kenneth Branagh be successful in bringing one of the best loved comics characters to the screen? Comics to movies have so far been very hit-and-miss. Now that technology has caught up with aspiration, we can enjoy the special effects like we imagined. But did Kenneth Branagh actually read action comics as a boy? I doubt it somehow. Comics fans make the best comics movies directors. Non-comics fans make things like the first Hulk.

Sorry for dumbing this intellectual discourse down. But I felt that this was maybe more apt in this thread, than in the Film thread.

one of my most precious possessions I have is the whole collection of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/El_Mercenario comic created by spanish Vicente Segrelles. Its set in a fantastic medieval time when magic was as powerful as a sword.
One of the big points of it is that every panel was painted in oil., one of a kind.
If you like Conan, TLOTR, Willow or Dungeon and dragons, you will love this.

Beautiful artwork.

Not been on this thread for a while so missed this but it looks fantastic. Really reminds me of Don Lawrence's Trigan Emprie stuff. The Wikipedia article says a lots been translated. Ever seen any?

My experince of translate Euro comics is that anything that has been done costs a fortune. Been lucky in getting some old Moebius translations for nothing much. I never understand why the big compnies don't push translate and sell these. They are often far superior to the tat many of them push.

anyone got the current comic buyers guide, looking to sell a load of my comics and I need to appraise/value them.

let me know..

once you have an idea of what, and for how much, let me know Corny, please, I may be interested in something

will do, but I'm pretty sure its a couple of months off, me knowing what I have and how much it should cost. Excel spreadsheet here we come..

no worries, you just let me know, just in case...

Has anyone been following / getting confused by the new DC Comics reboot?

Picked up the last Flashpoint yesterday and am getting excited by the idea of loads of new stuff mixed with a little bit of 'oh god, another reboot'.

Then again: Grant Morrison writing Action Comics? Yes please.

Thread's been quiet and I can't even begin to talk about all the great stuff I've read of late.

I guess my favourite - and one I've been goign back to a lot- is this:

I love this. No idea why but it always makes me laugh. Can't wait for the third one.

Maybe inspired by the decent Dredd movie I've started re-discovering my childhood love of 2000AD, just finished the Apocalypse War and about to start on The Dead Man and Necropolis. I sold my collection years ago after my mum wouldn't store it anymore, but have been lucky enough to find a large collection of scans on the interwebs - happy tablet reading for the next year probably.

Anyone read Desolation Jones? That guy is one badass motherfucker.

Recommend.

Will check him out. Is he as badass as Spider Jerusalem?

Anyone interested in going to this 22nd June?
