comics

There’s a subset of comics fans (I’ve read this in several places) who think Alan Moore (Watchman, V for Vendetta, etc) and Frank Miller (Dark Knight Returns, Daredevil, etc) destroyed the comics business by pushing it towards an adult audience and away from its intended audience of 8-12 year...

This is a fun video, the guy obviously knows comics and his area of expertise.

In another thread, people seemed to dig my idea about doing something with Rom the Space Knight. It got me thinking about a mini-campaign using FASERIP (Dragon #112). Aside from fighting Dire Wraiths, what elements must be present in such a thing to do it justice?

Do we not have a thread for this? If not, here it is.

I spotted this on my newly acquired Comixology account and didn't realize they had created a comic series based on the Barker film/novella. Art looks pretty good, although the interior art is a bit more conventional than seems appropriate for Barker and the material, but usually I find it is...

Ironically, Image Comics back in the 90s played a big part in driving me away from mainstream comics due to Liefield and Spawn, etc. but these days they release some of the better series out there I think. For instance I really dig Ed Brubaker and Sean Phillip's Criminal anthology series of...

In 30 years of roleplaying, I've never been able to get a Supers game off the ground. I got close on a couple of occasions, starting a couple of games using DC Heroes, mostly by dressing it up as Totally Not Supers (TM). One game was Buffy-style (before there was a Buffy RPG), with PCs playing...

so I finally finished reading the complete run of Spawn after about a year and I'm bit unsure what comic series/ run to read next. Prior to the Spawn run I had quite enjoyed Batman Court of the Owls but I think I've since acquire a taste for over the top hijinks. I'd like to narrow the choices...

So Helmgast, the company behind the excellent reboot of Kult are going to be releasing a game called The Troubleshooters based on Tintin-like adventure Eurocomics. Certainly a change of pace from the horrors of Kult!

Good news Khepera Publishing friends! There is a project I’ve been working on for a while, and it's coming to fruition. Cowboy Dracula is the new youtube channel, and we are ramping up with comic talk, RPG actual plays, and generally highly opinionated discussion about all sorts of genre...

I keep wondering why we don't have one before. So, I guess this is the first? I'll be up-front with it, I like Anime and Manga. Does anyone else like it too (Besides @Doc Sammy , who I am inviting on this thread)?

I read a few of these as a kid in the 80s and was really taken by the centaur character and colourful art, plus it was D&D. But I could never find more of them, this was when I was just looking at the local corner store for my comics. So I thought I'd check them out now on my Kindle, some are...

Growing up I was a strictly Marvel kid when it came to superhero comics. I wasn't anti-DC, just too much into the X-Men, Spiderman and their derivatives to have the time or money for anything else. Later I read a lot of Vertigo, Sandman, some Vigilante and a lot of Alan Moore's DC stuff...

Books are media after all. I've been rereading the Brother Karamazov for about the third time and some of Aristophanes's comedies in between to lighten the mood. Brothers K grows and grows on me with each rereading, and Aristophanes is still so freaking actual It's scary. What about you?
