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.

Hard to go wrong with anything on the Eisner lists...

OP, I forgot to ask-- do you have any non-superhero favorites from the list? Anything you feel particularly unique or especially worth recommending?

Btw, my own sub is here, in case Euro comics are of interest:

Two that are too new to have made this years awards, but definitely look for them to be on the list NEXT year:

Good to see some of my faves getting recognition, such as Mariko Tamaki, Luke Pearson, Vera Brosgol, Manu Larcenet and Eduardo Risso.

Nice also to see a couple BD's!
