svardineni Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 I recommend Get Jiro by Anthony Bourdain. Very hilarious satire on the food industry. Also, I really liked the Amulet series by Kazu Kabiushi. It is geared towards children, but it kept me plenty engaged and the art work is just amazing.

Lady Olenna Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 I had no idea Bourdain had his own comics ... Will definitely check that out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedEyedGhost Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 I've read the first trade and intend to get the others, liked it quite a bit.Thanks, Brady! I've now read the first one, and liked it well enough to order the next three. My only real complaint was the lack of character depth. Definitely looking forward to learning more about the world.ETA: NBC has ordered a pilot, but of course it's NBC so I won't get my hopes up.

3CityApache Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 I'm a big fan of Craig Thompson's Blankets, but I've heard mixed opinions on Habibi. Generally most people seem to think it's not as good as Blankets, to say the least. Is it worth buying anyway? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Olenna Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 I was late in discovering Revival and Thief of Thieves recently. I just ordered them and am looking forward to catching up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peterbound Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 I gotta be honest, I know it's kind of a 'superhero' book, but I've just read all the 'Invincible' trades, and those books are fucking awesome.Go check them out. They are by a guy named Robert Kirkman. You may or may not of heard of him, he's written a book or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sci-2 Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 I can vouch for the first trade. So far so good. It's a just a fun comic IMO, like a toned down Archer in some respects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Killer Snark Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 Watchmen and the entire 15 book series of Battle Royale, once published by Tokyopop. You might have trouble with that one, because Tokyopop are bust now, but it's still the finest Manga I've ever read. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roose Seal Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 I'm a big fan of Craig Thompson's Blankets, but I've heard mixed opinions on Habibi. Generally most people seem to think it's not as good as Blankets, to say the least. Is it worth buying anyway?Don't listen to haters, Habibi is his best. I read it in one sitting.There's so many layers to the story and the way he weaves the art of calligraphy into the story itself is frankly quite unique, I'd never read anything like this before. The art becomes the story and the story becomes art. It's hard to describe, but it's quite fascinating. The amount of research he did about the arab art of writing is astounding.It's got some pretty strong themes (sexual and otherwise, can't say too much without being spoilery) but they're all treated with utmost respect and tact and subtlety.It's an incredible story about stories, about love, about forgiveness and friendship and parenthood and tolerance ... and seriously, just go read it now.

The Killer Snark Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Battle Vixens, again by Tokyopop. Fan Service, but it was a brilliant Manga before Tokyopop went bust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
