Something that isn't Marvel or DC, something you enjoyed regardless
Unfortunately I am a noob at comics, so Pic related, Hellboy, The Squidder, and Witch Doctor, are the only ones I know of.
I also remember one that has been one where some hulk-like ancient viking-man battled demons, but can't remember the name.
I like diary comics like Eye of the Majestic Creature and Drinking at the Movies
any suggestions for me?

>I want to read any comics at all
>sure, just read one of these 50 comics
>now I'm overwhelmed. I think I'm not gonna read anything
How about some european stuff.
Valerian.
Ignore the upcoming movie.
Valerian is a long running, very infleuntial Sci-Fi comic series.
I especially reccomend the two volume storyline that is published in issues 9+10.
Almost the whole series is available in english, from Cinebook, a UK comics publisher.
The Extraordinary Adventures of Adèle Blanc-Sec.
Ignore the recent movie.
It's a Mystery Comic series set in the Paris of the early 20ths century.
The series is full of Lovecraftian Horror, currently two english volumes available from Fantagraphics.
My pull list for non-cape is-
Gold Digger
18 Days
Afterlife With Archie
Chilling Adventures of Sabrina
Les Nombrils
And for finished stuff-
Big Man Plans
Godzilla in Hell
Klaus
and I suppose Pregnant Bitches of War is never getting continued at this point.
What about dc comics that are not capeshit.
Sandman is a classic.
Temporarily on break so now is a good time to catch up on Usagi Yojimbo.
Got a problem with Luc Besson?
me too
Requiem - Vampire Knight.
It's Vampires, and not the romantic teenage shit of today. It's dark and brutal, it has awesome art by Olivier Ledroit, and it's written by Pat Mils.
Currently being published in the UK by Panini Comics.
I'd rather recomend another, even more awesome series by Ledroit, but "The Chronicles of the Dark Moon" isn't available in english.
not really,
he used to be able too create great movies. used to be that is, he hasn't put out anything great for the last twenty years
It's USA stuff for a change.
Stray Bullets
is a thriller/drama series by David Lapham.
The series is complete since about 10 years ago and all the volumes are available as paperbacks from Image. A good introduction to teh series is the recently released stand alone "spinoff": Stray Bullets - Killers.
I just read The Crow, that was pretty great, all the sequels blow though.
It's still going on with Sunshine & Roses
Domu - A Child's Dream
Is a Manga oneshot by Katsuhiro Otomo of "Akira" fame.
Domu is a supernatural crime thriller and Otomo's most accessible and probably most coherent and elaborated work.
English version tradepaperback available from Dark Horse.
Thats great news actually.
Dark horse is about to release
The Manara Library
with the first volume being published in March:
Indian Summer
contains some of Milo Manaras better works.
His drawing style is great, especially his Women, always look good.
His stories are often not much different from crappy softcore porn though.
Indian summer is compilation of western stories.
"The Paper Man" is a nice little tale about a cowboy, his way back home and an indian girl without underwear. "Indian Summer" is an adventure with lots of action and a little sex.
How about some slice of life like Lou! or The Bellybuttons. Both have regular storytimes here, so you can probably find them with a quick archive search.
His choices of casting for Valerian are awful.
We got mr. twink and a bitchy blonde instead of a DILF and fiery redhead.
And it seems it will follow the hollywood blockbuster mold to a T, with a shitty "he's a perv and she's serious, will they fuck at the end?" subplot, instead of having one of the best established couples of comics on screen with a dynamic grounded on relationship with autority.
So, until proven innocent, FUCK BESSON.
I like the Mars Attacks comics
The marquis of lost souls is pretty good, most of it is in English.

When "Valerian" is one of the great Sci-Fi comics
The Incal
is THE Sci-Fi Comic.
Moebius became a comic enthusiast's household name with this work, and for Jodorowski it was the rebirth as a comic author after the fiasco that was his Dune movie project.
Avoid the recolored version like the plague. The english hardcover album by Humanoids uses the original colors and is great in the overall quality.
Fables, anyone?
Wunderwaffen has been my 2016 pick.
The Goon
Guerillas
It's a pretty good 75-issue series, but then they had to make another 75 issues...
Bone
The Witch Doctor
Perkeros/Sing No Evil
Sandman
Isaac the Pirate
Twilight Companions (nothing to do with Twilight)
Borgia by Manara
Orc Stain
Pinocchio by Winshluss
Judge Dredd
Halo Jones
Had to clear out a lot from my list since quite a number of them were mentioned already (like Valerian). Capeshit is a relatively small market when you get down to reading european comics. Japan might be the number 1 comic-crazy country but France and Belgium come a very close 2nd.
Read Torpedo by Abuli and Benet.
Pastel Horse by IDW
Asterix
Hagar the Horrible
Calvin and Hobbes
Transformers More Than Meets The Eye
Groo
Archie
Paperinik
*Bernet
I'll never understand this minset.
If you just want to read a comics and someone recommend you 50 ones, just try the first one and ignore the rest for now.
Requiem Chevalier Vampire is not dark and brutal is cheesy and tongue in cheek
...
Is that a mecha-USA painted mammoth with a flamethrower trunk?
Can't believe I've never seen one of these in a "make someone want to read something based on one page"
>Saga of the Metabarons
I would recomend the entire Incal Universe. The new volumes are being kino-bande desinee
This is Fray Tomas de Torquemada.
Mods please don't ban me for nipple
How do you define "capeshit"?
The capes, superpowers, the way its laid out?
You must have missed the story times, well on Monday I'll be posting up the New Spring mini series that goes with this
>Groo the Wanderer
I wish Dark Horse would collect some of the early stuff, hunting down the single issues has been a pain. At least they're cheap
Did you have these ready to go off the top?
Non marvel or DC doesn't mean non cape and DC and Marvel don't mean it is cape.
You have autism
>Drinking at the Movies
Johnny Wander
Suddenly Something Happened
anything by Lucy Knisley really
this is a really good list
I loved the budding friendship between Lord Fanny and Dane.
I'm smitten with little bit of cheeky fun from early on in Morrison's The Invisibles.
One of my favorite Warren Ellis comics from his Avatar Press days.
V isn't a superhero?
It's debatable.
Why the fuck does Ellis only ever do one arc of a solid idea with lots of potential. Ignition City was great but also Fell needed at least 20 more issues and Desolation Jones got cut off in the middle of a second arc. what gives?
OP, you're thinking of Head Lobber! Go read it now!
Most of my recs(Bone, Invisibles, etc) have already been mentioned, but here's a few. All of these have been storytimed on Sup Forums btw. There are some fucking awesome people here!
Northlanders(particularily Plague Widow)
7 to Eternity
Scalped
Rumble
Global Frequency
Clean Room
East of West
Harrow County
Hellraiser
XO Manowar
Witcher (both old and new)
Flex Mentallo
I'm sure I've forgotten a ton of stuff, eh.
>tfw they still can't let it go
Diary of a Teenage Girl
I Never Liked You
...
...
...
His hard drive lol
>The Witch Doctor
you mean the one with the Hugh Laurie ripoff who fights Lovecraftian Horrors like infections and uses Excalibur? Wasn't that abandoned after a few issues?
Hilarious stuff
