Inform me on Dark Horse comics, humans.

[WhiteBeastofWotan]

Recommend, or I shall rape your face. You should all know my tastes by now, ie scifi nerdular nerdences. They have Firefly comics, apparently? Bong.

 

[ms. anthrope]

did you say BONG?

 

[Lord Foul]

I find Dark Horse properties uninteresting aside from Hellboy and the Buffy season eight series. They do a ton of Manga translations if you are into that sort of thing.

Virtually everything I read is published under the Vertigo imprint.

 

[WhiteBeastofWotan]

I've never really been into comics, but i noticed that Dark Horse has a lotta sci fi shit, like star wars, etc. and i might dig that. not really into the standard superhero fair.

 

[Lord Foul]

Well, what are examples of comics you really like?

 

[WhiteBeastofWotan]

Uh. Well, none, like I said, I've never really been into them. But I like star wars, I like Firefly, so I may check out some of those ones.

 

[Lord Foul]

Hmmm...well, I like my SciFi hard, which means novels generally. Closest I could point you would be Vertigo's Transmetropolitan, free issue #1 here.

 

[Anvil]

OI, if you find anything on these Firefly comics, let me know.

 

[WhiteBeastofWotan]

thanks! Was Those Left Behind any good?

 

[WhiteBeastofWotan]

Anyone read any star wars comics? Star Wars: Legacy, in particular?

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

Legacy is good. follows a Skywalker a couple generations after Luke

god damn, i dont remember the name of the series, but Starwars republic is really fucking good. started off with Ki Adi Mundi for 6 issues.
give me some time, I'll look it up.

oh and probably my favorite comic. Conan!!!!

 

[WhiteBeastofWotan]

Interesting. Thanks Krigs!!! <3

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

and the Starwars Republic introduced my favorite starwars character, Quinlan Vos!!! http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Quinlan_Vos

 

[WhiteBeastofWotan]

haha that website is pretty awesome, and I realize I'm pretty out of the loop with the whole extended universe.

 

[Jace_Mereel]

I remember reading a few Knights of the Old Republic by Dark Horse and really enjoying them.
Will definitely have to check out the Ki Adi Mundi ones. <3

Side note: In Episode III, Kenobi tells Anakin that no Jedi other than a Master has been on the council. But several sources state that Ki Adi Mundi was the only knight to serve on the Council. Dun dun dun.

Other side note: Silas Carson, the actor who portrayed Ki Adi Mundi also played Nute Gunray and Lott Dodd.

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

John Ostrander, the writer for most of the Republic comics is great. He makes it so much fun and does an excellent job. He is also writing Legacy.
You true nerds really should check em out. I think some of the Republic comics are paperbacks.

 

[WhiteBeastofWotan]

Cool!

 

[WhiteBeastofWotan]

Okay I purchased some KOTOR and Dark Times, they seem pretty cool.
Also ordered the first two volumes of Legacy and Serenity: Those Left Behind which should arrive in a few days.
Those Star Wars Republic comics look cool, I look into those.

Okay nerds, now I request more recommendations beyond star wars (though I'll accept more of those). Im not fan of your standard superhero fair. I wikipedia'd Witchblade and the premise looks kinda neat.

Oh, and it doesn't have to be Dark Horse.

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

I have the Watchmen paperback on the way

 

[Lordlucid]

The sandman comics.
From Hell. well fuck pretty much anything that has Alan Moore on the title is super fucking sweet.

Edit: also look up some Frank Miller titles aswell.
