Let's have a thread about non big-2 shit. Please do not make this thread about superheroes at all, I get that there are non big2 ones but if they were allowed then they would be the majority of the thread.

What have you been reading lately?

what are your all time favourite comics?

All time favourite? Purgatori of Chaos! Comics. The other characters in the stable were cool, to, but there was always something about Purgatori and her antics that kept me coming back. The Dynamite relaunch of the Chaos! crew has been ok so far, but I reckon that the characters were very much a product of their times and don't translate well to the current societal climate.

That could just be me talking out of my arse though, thus far we've only have 1(2 in the case of Evil Ernie) minis and a few oneshots of the various characters. I hope that when they get around to expanding on the foundations they've laid down now that some great stories start coming out, but I'm not going to hold my breath on that.

FTL and Tokyo Ghost are both on my pull list, I don't hear too much about them, but I am enjoying them.
The first issue of Axcend seemed like it might be interesting, but I'd have to get the second one to see if it'll go anywhere good.

Because most don't even read mainstream comics so it's even more obscure to find people into Indies/alternative comics.
It would be nice if people on /co/ would discuss more obscure works like some other boards do.

No, it's way too early to tell, the concept is middle school fantasy tier and tired, but it might not fall on it's face and instead end up being interesting.

We had two pretty big indie threads this week, three if you count the solicitation discussion for Image. They're slower and less popular threads, but it's still probably the best place to get discussion about them. It's just a lot easier to find someone to talk about a regular running extremely popular 75-year old series with multiple adaptions and countless secondary characters than it is to find someone to talk about different spottily-released over two years Self-contained works.

I actually bought a bunch of new books recently because I want to expand my pull a bit. Plutona, Paper Girls, Mythic, I Hate Fairyland, Twilight Children, Dark Cooridor, The Beauty, and We can Never go home,

So far my fave is Dark Cooridor, I was stunned at how great it is for something I've heard nothing about.

You shouldn't have opened with an antagonizing question as the subject if you didn't want the thread to be about ppl answering it.

Well that's true of course but I meant realism as in it's realistic. Superheroes are not realistic. Let's take Hate for example. I would say it's relationship drama + comedy in a realistic setting, therefore realism.

It also irks me that he's a far, far better artist than I'll ever be, and that he's a better publisher than the majority of us (particularly those of us who really couldn't run a successful lemonade stand).

Capeda are merely the bulk of the NA action market, but we also have quite a few sci fi and fantasy series and horror in comics. Romance and middle grade comics are slowly reviving, those are the only genres that are harder to find. But yeah, everyday dramas are a big thing everywhere.

What's the difference between drama, slice of life, and bio for you or do you consider it all the same thing?

Non big 2?
Bandette, Afterlife with Archie, Chilling Tales of Sabrina, Lumberjanes, Rat Queens, Bitch Planet, Copperhead, Descender, Empty Zone, Anything Godzilla Related, Jem and the Holograms, Teeny Tiny Babby Horse People, The Legend of Bold Riley, Princeless, Princess Ugg, Saga, The Wicked and the Divine, Sex Criminals, Trees, and Zombies vs Robots.
Off the top of my head.
I think I follow a handful of marvel books.

My current favorite is probably either Bandette or Lumberjanes because COLORFUL ADVENTURE for kids that doesn't talk down to them.

No, there's a difference between being a nerd and being a geek. Anyone can be a nerd in any hobby/interest/whatever. But if you're a nerd in somethin geek culture oriented, than you're a geek. Eltingvile Club is a pretty good example of what geek culture is. No one who is into L&R behave the way those manchildren do. I'm a huge comix nerd, but I'm not a geek.

Yeah, based on how it looks on /co/ you are right. Most people on this board are also american. I'm not american so I can only say that in Europe, comics are much more than superheroes/sci-fi/fantasy. I would dare to say that adult-oriented comics with a realistic setting are more popular here and have been for quite some time.

Bellybuttons is great, it caught me by surprise because it starts almost like a standard gag comic but it becomes much more complex drama as it goes on. I really adore it. I'm jealous France has such a big market for that kind of stuff, it's really the sort of comics I want to make for the NA market. I'm happy to see stuff like Princeless and Smile take off, and a lot more French stuff getting translated.

Dash Shaw's Cosplayers was released as a floppy too.

I'm rereading Ice Haven by Daniel Clowes now. It was my favorite Clowes when I read it two years ago, but it seems even better now. I need to reread Death Ray too.

Also while there's some really good Big 2 superhero stuff (especially like the classic Kirby stuff, etc) the majority of it coming out now isn't very good on an artistic level. But! I love soap operas even though they're objectively not too good... and they never end, half the fun is seeing the crazy stuff they come up with to keep it going. I finally realized that's what "mainstream" comics are like too... they weren't meant to be art objects for a while now.
