A different, if slightly violent style. Pretty sure I ran the nib down pretty far on this one. I’m pretty in love with Saga right now, with these two at the helm as some of my favorite characters (but honestly, who isn’t my favorite).

The Comic Christmas Aftermath

Christmas has occurred and that always meant gift giving and receiving is a tradition all around the world. In my case, being a 21 year old, some would say that the things you ask your parents for Christmas has drastically changed. Back then, you would ask for video games and books and the like. I’ve asked around my friends and now they’re saying they have asked for nothing or adult things like batteries or utensils.
I don’t have to remind you that I’m a certified geek, but I will remind you that being a geek can mean keeping hobbies that requires the purchasing of memorabilia. So while my friends are asking for furniture or a fancy bottle of spirits, I still haven’t changed 21 years later. I’ve largely asked and received comic books. The volumes and trades I’ll share with you below! Maybe now you’ll see the pun that I’ve infused with the above title.

Comic Book Rush Fall 2013

So about last year, I really started getting into comic books and graphic novels. Back then, I primarily stuck with graphic novels, stories that had distinct endings and were no longer in continuation. The primary reason I did this was because I wasn’t sure that I wanted to get into the monthly issue release that would warrant me spending money and money over time and again. So as the year progressed, I had successfully finished some of the greatest graphic novels out there: Watchmen, Wanted, The Dark Knight Returns, Black Hole, along with volumes and compendiums of the most popular story arcs such as The Long Halloween, The Walking Dead Compendium I + II, and Kick-Ass. Now that I’m nearing the point where there aren’t many graphic novels left that I haven’t heard of.
So I’ve begun getting into series that are now ongoing, finding that they’re even more exhilarating because it’s like I’m joining a number of fan-bases that are eagerly awaiting the release of the next issue. It’s a similar feeling as waiting for The Winds of Winter, or the next Superman vs. Batman movie. With anticipation, there is some form of unification of a fanbase that spawns theories, speculations, and the like.
So today we’re going to talk about some of the comic books that I’m reading and some that I plan on beginning to read. Minor spoils ahead!
