I did, but I've recently stopped reading the series.

This looks really promising. There's a bigger preview here with a more detailed description of what the overall storyline is as well as some artwork samples.

Woah, those panels showing the cultists sacrificing that couple, looks really awesome.

You can check out my recap of what I did on Free Comic Book Day this past weekend HERE!

 

[Oblivious Maximus]

Throw Up Some Horns for Heavy Metal’s New IRON MAIDEN Comic Book

!!!

 

[CiG]

I am thinking about buying volume 1 of New Lone Wolf and Cub.
First impression is, yeah this looks pretty fucking good.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

Whats everyone's favorite comic book run? Not favorites, but all time favorite.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

ok fuck you guys.

Frank Miller's Daredevil sits at the top of my list.

 

[CiG]

I was worried that I don't quite understand what a run means in comic book lingo.

I have to go with Watchmen, I really am kinda obsessed with it. But if that isn't technically a run, I'll go with Akira.

If Akira doesn't count because it's a manga (whatever the difference is supposed to be) I'll go with Barry Windsor-Smith's Weapon X, if that even counts as a run.

I really love the way Barry Windsor-Smith crafted his story like a slasher film, his art is fucking fantastic but I also feel like he's an underrated writer.

So apparently Frank Miller is going to do an origins story for Sin City that will be a western.

If he doesn't die first.

Miller lost it a loooonng time ago.

Not familiar with manga, but the rest of those are fuckin' top notch stuff.

Classic: Claremonts X-Men, John Byrnes Fantastic Four, Walt Simonsons Thor, Paul Chadwicks Concrete. Frank Millers The Dark Knight Returns, Peter Davids Incredible Hulk Loebs and Sales Batman runs(The Long Holloween, Dark Victory) arent from the 70's-80's like the rest of this list but id rather put them up here

Modern: Astonishing X-Men, Brubakers Daredevil and Captain America runs, Geoff Johns Green Lantern, Hickmans Fantastic Four, Ellis and Robertsons Transmetropolitan, Brubakers/Phillips Criminal. Ennis and Dillons Preacher, Joe Hills Lock & Key and finally Sam Keiths The Maxx(the first 20 or so issues)

Scalped, 100 Bullets, Planetary, Moores Swamp Thing, PunisherMAX, All-Star Superman and Peter Davis second X-FActor are up there too.

Pretty sure i left a few out, but that looks good enough.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

@Nate Skalman hey man have you read the X-Force(Yost and Kyle) run from a few years ago? Good stuff.

 

[CiG]

So if none of those were not runs and I didn't fuck up, since you asked what's our top favourite, our the favourite - mine is definitely Watchmen.

I'm actually already feeling the urge to re-read it again.

I heard that DK3 wasn't so good, I wonder if it's better than DK2 at least?

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

yea there's really no rock solid definition of a run, except for one-shots. Basically a guys work on said series.

Yea i think its been about 7-8 years since the last time i read it, maybe its about time i do the same.

 

[CiG]

Can anybody recommend me any comic books that are particularly cinematic?

 

[Vilden]

Well Blueberry is probably my all time fav comic but not sure if you can call it a run in the American sense. It is serialized tho.

If we are talking strictly American style comics probaby Delanos Hellblazer.

 

[Vilden]

Can anybody recommend me any comic books that are particularly cinematic?

Can you elaborate on what you're looking for?

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

yeah i'm not sure i understand what hes looking for either.

Try 100 Bullets, Scalped and Y: The Last Man
