Would say its time for a non-superhero realted thread

Well Requiem: Chevalier Vampire is good. I also like fluorscent black.

I don't give a shit about Alan Moore's personal life or how much he hurt Sup Forums's delicate feelings

Dungeon (fr: Donjon) series by Sfar and Trondheim.
Barely anyone speaks about it, I found it through someone posting in shelf thread. Most of volumes published in english you can find on desu or LG.

He does?

Anyone read lost girls? Worth a shot?

Thanks to Sup Forums i recently started stray bullets, #12 at the moment. Quite a ride

I'm new to comics, and my pull list is mostly capeshit

What are some good non-superhero comics running right now?

Lost girls is a fart.

Saga.

Seems interesting...

Indeed, saga is fantastic.

Just reading through BPRD Hell on Earth, up to part 10. Compared to the driving urgency of the frog war, it's meandering and without direction. Also the Japan chapter does that thing wherein the protags have no idea what is going down (old controllng not Godzilla) when given EXACTLY the same information it is painfully obvious to the reader.

Harrow County
Hellboy
Stray Bullets
Usagi Yojimbo

Cerebus

the original run or the new one?

Original

Whats the new one? Sequel? Reboot?

It's really funny (a lot of dark humour) and inventive fantasy. A lot of people will be defensive against that comparison but it reminds me of Rick and Morty, in a good way.
Royal City is great

>Cerebus
>running right now

The pacing of The Incal was way to fucking fast in my opinion
Wish they would dedicate more time to explaining and building the universe around the characters and settings
Reason why I dropped it

I liked Pinnochoo Vampire Slayer

The best comic writer/artist is Chris Ware. He's won a million lit awards. No one on Sup Forums ever talks about him. You literally feel different after you've read any of his graphic novels, even more so than Alan Moore.

Transmetropolitan is DC though.

His characters are caricatures just so he can push his "depression" onto the readers, it feels forced and generally he's unsubtle as fuck. Great cartoonist though. Comparing him to Moore though means we're only comparing their abilities as writers and he's not as good as him, Morrison, Milligan or even Gaiman.

dude, shit had so much success jodo got prequel, sequel, spin-off 1, spin off 2, minor spin off of spin off 1, prequel and sequel of spin off 1. If the original's too fast on worldbuilding, you can always read the rest.

It's Vertigo, pedant

there's even a ttrpg of spin off 1 if worldbuildng's you trip

Vertigo is DC, numbnuts.

That's why I called you a pedant. You're technically right but who really cares?

its called sunshine and roses i havent read it but i have hear good stuff about it, far as i know its the same universe and explore the backstory of some characters and itroduce new ones

Goin back to the original run i have to say is one of my favorite comics of all time i literally cudnt stop reading it an it took me just a couple of days to read the whole thing

American Flagg

He doea nothing for me. His stuff deals with the flattest part of the human hierarchy of needs, imo. I don't come from the suburban background he is fixated on, though. I also think his characters are largely low hanging fatbeard fruit.
Not for me.

Favorite of mine.

>suburban background he is fixated on
Why I ignore a lot of autobio comics.

Yeah, the main problem with Ware is that he hardly does nothing for you if you're not American.
I mean, you can appreciate a comic or two of his as some sort of insight into American society, but it feels all the fucking same after a while.

Hi, Morrison

The Incal is nuts and kind of hard to follow, but damn it has god-tier Moebius art. I'll have to check out more of his stuff.

Gaston lagaffe.
Then a whole bunch of comics that probably never saw the light of day outside my country.

Weapons of Mass Diplomacy
It's basically an account of a speechwriter's work for the foreign office of France, in particular just before the Iraq war.

The artist did other good stuff (he got the best price at the Angoulême comics festival twice), as an artist (like here ) and as an artist-writer

Not him, but why would one want specifically an ongoing comic?

I don't know, but that's what that user asked for. It's like saying "I want to read a comic that's not capeshit" and being offered Batman.

I'm American, but grew up poor rural trash, and it doesn't do anything for me either.

Sounds great, I'll check it out. Blain was my favourite artist in Donjon series.

I read the first part of Enki Bilal's The Color of Air from Heavy Metal 284(iirc) and it made me go back and read Animal'z and now Julia & Roem. I really didn't like the Nikopol Trilogy but I'm really digging this trilogy.

Mouse Guard is good shit.

Well, it is, but Sim has lost his ability to draw (quite literally) so it's some bizarre shitshow

.

Whats this?

ah, first post. Thanks Sup Forums you restored my faith for another year

How many books are out? I only found 4.

how is Cerebus in anyway Batman? Despite it's praise most people have not read it

What I post every time this thread pops up.

11 are translated, 12 is supposed to come out this year and 13 next year. That will wrap it all up finally, after 13 fucking years

>I really didn't like the Nikopol Trilogy
I really like the first part, the other two were both steps down.

Planetary was always my Favorite Warren Ellis Comic next to Transmetropolitan

He means that asking for a current ongoing and get one that has finished is the same as asking for a non-superhero comic and being recommended Batman.

Goddamn, reading comprehension has really gone down the drain lately.

i really like Dago, but i don't know if it has an english translation

I actually liked it way more than Transmetropolitan.

You didn't like chessboxing?

>Hellboy and all its spinoffs
>The Goon
>Black Science
>East of West
>Black Hammer
>Harrow County
>Astro City (technically capeshit but still pretty good)
>Dwarves

That's all I can think of off the top of my head for currently running comics. However, I'd suggest looking for some finished series since the wait isn't as agonizing.

>East of West
I saw the comics and I dig the minimalist cover and art. What's the story about? Why do you like it user?

It's alt-history where the Civil War dragged on and the US was split into a bunch of different nations. Also, it's set in the far off future. Also, the Horsemen of the Apocalypse are there trying to end the word and Death becomes the main character after abandoning them.

I mostly just like how inventive the setting is, it's completely different from most things and there's a lot of political subterfuge that's handled pretty well. I also like the characters, one guy is a complete bastard and he's quickly become my favorite. I'm pretty sure you'll know who I'm talking about if you started reading it.

Best stand alone TP.

Don't suppose anyone can storytime this?

>Supposed to be a non-capeshit thread
>Everyone keeps posting capeshit.

storytime it please

Retard

There's a ketchup stain on the corner of the tablecloth, and you're complaining that you're drowning in ketchup.
this is some low quality bait, son. I am disappointed.

Beanworld. Creation myths, cosmic jazz, playful metanarrative, plot twists, just like Homestuck without the shipping and retcon bullshit

It's pitiful to see what Sim has become.
Are the Heavy Metal editions the ones to go for?

>>Everyone keeps posting capeshit.
Such as?

my favorite series as a kid

Thanks for referring this to me, Sup Forums. It was pretty fun.

Before the Incal is also pretty great. It was neat seeing John get progressively meaner and uglier as the horrors of his universe gradually wore him down into the craven anti-hero we meet in the original work.

Freaks' Squeele is also pretty good.

Been reading Sha, same creative team was Requiem: Chevalier Vampire. There's still that nice European painted art, but the artist clearly improved between the titles. Requiem while detailed still looks clear, Sha's art is kind of muddy at times.

Still a fun Pat Mills comic about a witch coming back to kill the descendants of the people who burned her at the stake in a vast horrible future city. Has plenty of that Earth Goddess love that Slaine had.

You know a good place I could find Slaine? I tried reading the Horned God but every single source I found was missing an issue or two.

I liked wagners batman storys a lot, maybe i should give it a try.

Whats with planetary by Ellis? Should i know anything about wildstorm or is it good if your new to this stuff?

It's in its own self-contained universe so outside of a crossover here and now, not really.

Not the horned god but still

Slaine v01 - Warrior's Dawn (F) (2010) (digital) (Torquemada)
Slaine v02 - The King (F) (2013) (digital) (Torquemada)
Slaine v03 - Time Killer (F) (2013) (digital) (Torquemada)

Planetary is a superhero comic through and through, it's literally a treatise on the genre going through all of its derivatives and tropes. i love the comic but I'd hardly call it non cape

I love that book so much.

You don't need to know about Wildstorm but it's filled with homage and/or pastiches of all kinds of superhero and genre fiction characters.

>For years was teased with a possible film adaption directed by Nicolas Winding Refn

>Never happens

The best shit. Need part 4 to come out already. Get it together Petersen!

This one. Beauty and Ms Don't Touch Me are pretty good too

>saga

It might be overrated but quit your contrarian bullshit, Saga is a relatively solid comic.

I've been on a bit of Remender's binge as of late.
I read the first four trades of Black Science and I loved them to bits, it's great.
Tokyo Ghost, read the two trades, wasn't as thrilled with it. Murphy's art is great, but the story itself just left me kinda meh.
I'm about to start LOW and see how that goes.

>Mother Russia

Neat! I thought I was the only one that read this. I'm picking up the newsprint issues from Alterna Comics.

He recently (yesterday?) posted on twitter that he hasn't been able to work on Weasel Wars because taking care of his mother is a full time job.

It's not by Wagner. But if you can find it, it's more than worth it.

comicsalliance.com/a-great-lost-artist-and-his-unsung-masterpiece-edvin-biukovic-and-devils-deaths/

>I'm about to start LOW and see how that goes
As someone whose shares the exact same opinion on Black Science and Tokyo Ghost, LOW has been pretty boring for me outside of the art.

Since people mentioned Wagner, Mage has been pretty good. He also started releasing issues for the final part of the trilogy.

The first part was the worst, The Woman Trap was half decent.

Whats not to like with saga?
Fanboy asking, really dont understand

I like the series myself but it's gets annoying to see it touted as the next coming of Jesus.

>(((Jodorowsky)))

Cool thanks, I'll check it out.

The complete run is in my 2000AD\Slaine folder
mediafire.com/folder/a9xd39hhb2c29

I've been reading
Invisible Republic
Lazarus (kinda super powered individual, but I would not consider it cape shut)
Manifest Destiny
Corto Maltese.

Also, Alpha and Beta by Jens Harder. The Art is amazing and has a nice association of Science and religions.

You are a pretty awesome dude

Is The Incal worth reading? Only read heard about after watching Jodorowsky's Dune, and how many of Jodo's ideas for Dune were adapted for The Incal.

It's a fun ride with some inventive ideas though the writing isn't all that amazing. I prefer the Metabarons spinoff.

at first its neat and at times coy and sensual but then like a bad porn after about 30mins you feel disgusted at the immense amounts of non nonsensical fucking. At the end (of a maybe 3hr read) you feel empty, pointless and somehow drained.
