I'm So Disappointed

Dec 16, 2004 00:26

I am so utterly disappointed in comic books right now that I may just quit. If you haven't read you comic for this week (Dec 15th) you might want to skip this and come back when you are done...

Comics can be that way - but don't give up! Just switch up what you're reading!! I'm not sure exactly what u like to read - but try something NEW - you maybe surprised! I mean it looks like ur mainly dissapointed in the titles by the 'big two' - try someone else's titles - Infantry, Breakdown, Blade of Kumori, Ultra, Defex, Kenetic, Fathom - there ARE good reads out there. ^_^ Good Luck!

Oh by know means am I leaving comics. There is still tons of stuff I enjoy: Planetary, Ironman, Ultimate Spider-Man (most of the time), Losers, and seveal others.

Actually I took your advice from an earlier posting and picked up all the issues of Blade of Kumori and Defex. I really like Blade of Kumori and liked the first issue of Defex but am afraid after #2 and #3 that it lost some of its 'freshness'. I will read it for a little while longer to see what happens.

Thinking of grabbing up some Misplaced. Based on enjoying the other books I read you mentioned I may try Ultra, Kenetix and Fathom as I have never heard of them.

I prefer cyberpunk stories but nobody is writing that now or at least not that I can find. That and pretty much anything Warren Ellis scribbles down.

Misplaced is cute - cyber + punky! ^_^

Ultra - is a superheroine set of friends that go to a fortune teller + find + break love - twists - turns. (Image)

Kenetix - is a DC book that only went to issue #8. About a sickly boy who finds out he has powers - done well.

Fathom - if ur digging the DC stuff - this book is by the artist Turner's company Aspen. It's very pretty - and I like when pretty things fight. (smirks)

Did u read Two Step? Ellis + Conner? This was a bad ass book!

I actually read an issue of Kenetix....

What I wish would start up again is @thena, Inc.
