A place to discuss comic books of all types, from old to new, Big 2 to indie, and everything in between.

Floppies, graphic novels, compilations, omnibusses (omnibusi?) are all fair game.

There is only one rule:*

Comic Books is a no judgement zone.

You can talk all you want about how Rob Liefeld is trash, Bob Kane is an asshole, or Frank Miller and Dave Sim’s politics have made them toxic, that’s all good.

If, however, another user is LEGITIMATELY a fan of something you don’t like, that does NOT make them a lesser person. Attack the art for being bad, not the person for being a fan of bad art.

* I lied. There are TWO rules... No piracy. Cover shots? That's good. Interior pages, in moderation? Sure. Full books? Links to pirate sites? That's how we get things shut down. :(

I'm not saying it's been a problem, because it hasn't been.

I personally prefer the Heath Ledger Joker as the best Joker.

He has no origin and he has no motive. He's just a crazy MF'er that is intent on causing as much chaos as possible for his own amusement.

(Granted I did see a fan theory a few years ago that argued that there is evidence that he was an integral member of the League of Shadows, even possibly their lead explosives engineer. He either got tired of waiting for them to strike or got kicked out for being to crazy for them. I liked that theory too.)
