HORROR MOVIE by
@paulGtremblay
is thrilling, fun and engaging. It’s got some moments that i’ll think about for a long time. I love how Tremblay uses narrative voice and always tries to do something unique. Quickly becoming one of my favourite writers.

One of my favorite things about Daredevil is that almost every run is building off the last. Bendis’ run ends with Matt in Jail, Brubaker picks up with that immediately, etc
Personally, I never liked the "toys back in the box" approach a lot of creators do. Good or bad, runs for long established characters like Spider-Man should bleed into one another. The books shouldn't feel like "ok shut up my time to write" each run but "yes and".

Volume 8 of SUNSTONE by
@stjepansejic
is my favourite book of the series so far. Quietly devastating, beautifully human and realistic. Left me a bundle of palpable feelings, both good and bad, and that’s what art is all about.

To elaborate, imagine book companies letting a book go out of print even if it’s successful (it becomes completely inaccessible legally) THEN proceed to make the new version the only one available (with the significant changes you mentioned)

It is positively shameful that this ‘85 years of marvel’ celebration is almost exclusively movies from the past 15 years and not decades of comics prior to that.

I hear from my friends all the time - they won’t spend 20 pounds on 150 pages when they can get 2 volumes of Manga or 2 novels for the same price
The reason they’re selling so well is because they’re $10 instead of the usual price of a trade paperback comic which is around $25
Almost like the price of comics is way too high and that’s been the primary problem for people getting into comics the entire time

There’s many I can talk about but here’s just the ones off the top of my head that did a lot of good for me and my mental health.
Since I'm thinking about Men's mental health right now, here are some comics that helped me through some bad times, either helping me realize I'm not alone or that I'm capable of more than I think. Feel free to share some comics that helped you, too!

Deniz, Stipan and Aditya have done absolutely magical work here and have every right to plug it constantly.
Like entirely seriously , I think Issue
#4
of 20th Century Men alone is one of the best usages of the comics medium i’ve ever seen.
Please forgive the constant plugs, but 20th Century Men is the best book I've been a part of. It's the book that got me the Ultimates, and the book that's most similar to it (especially issue 2). Available in comic shops, bookstores, and all the major online chains!

If I was head of DC, this is the game plan.
- Animal Man gets an ongoing that no one can cancel for at least 50 issues
- Put all of Shade The Changing Man in trades
That’s it. I’d quit after that.
