Oh fuck yeah Nemi is the shit. I think this comic cured both my sister's and my own arachnophobia when we were kids. When my sister was in her early teens emo/goth phase she read these comics obsessively, and those comics got passed down to me as well when she was done reading them. I remember the panels where Nemi encouraged spiders to live at her place by building them a little house, and that really stuck with me.

I haven't read it in a long time, but about one fifth of the way through a collection that's on archive.org... it was definitely worth revisiting, past me had great taste lol.

Thanks u/Lettuce for posting an edit like 9 months ago I randomly stumbled on I guess LMAO

Kill 6 billion demons is pretty great. I like how it portrays powerfull people as falsely believing they have no choice to change the systhem.

Now, here, power is represented by a magical light at your forhead, which is not at all withbour world, where power is more of a social phenomenon, but i still think it is quite interesting.

(Also trans angel and bi devil)

Hey thanks for dropping so many stuff

I love Mignola art style but I never paid much attention to it and to be fair I want to start reading more comics, the only thing is to have a goods screen, reading through the PC this tiresome.

I may still have some Spawn comics from the 90s, was only the few that I bought then. Alan Moore work and The invisibles by Grant Morrison is only the few that I really remember reading. Conan the Barbarian from my childhood too, like black and white comics oh good times.

The last thing I remember reading that left a very profund impression was Black Hole from Charles Burns..

I really really liked The Horde by Igor Baranko, might be my favorite one. TMNT series by IDF Publishing are good. The Amazing Screw-On Head by Mignola is hilarious. Can't say I really liked Mignola's Hellboy much, not good, not terrible. Watchmen, of course. Black Hammer series are very interesting, at least the first book, the second one wasn't that impressive, so I've abandoned the series. Many other Lemire's works are really good. The first Spawn book is great, other not so much. Just from the top of my head.

Really liked maus when i read it close to a decade ago, i have a print copy of ibuprofen avocado and its one of my most cherished possessions, loved reading uzumaki about 6 years ago, calvin and hobbes is always a nostalgic read for me, same as Gary larsons the far side, paul kirchner’s the bus is kind of fun but more like an ambient comic with more visual puns and surrealism and great illustrations instead of any sort of narrative.

also cool that they were split into 2 by amy using the special zone, makes for a much more compelling villain than fucking shadow

there's also another british sonic comic if you're interested. search sonic sunday strips

Fleetway Super Sonic is scary >_<

but also more compelling? I like that Sonic has to fight to keep his power in check, instead of the boring messiah trope that Super is usually treated as.

Saga is like new age superheros for the easy alternative reader haha... Alien stuff mostly. Very fun.

Surreal collages !! ya ya! I read some that remind me of that. They make me feel funny in my brain. Charles Burns and Michael Deforge come to mind... But maybe that's not going far enough....

It can be about white men and still be culturally relevant. Infantino's brash camp Batman completely embodied the 60s. Adams' thoughtful solitary detective Batman defined the 70s. Miller's violent fascist batman defined the reagan 80s. Timm's moody social justice crusader Batman defined the liberal 90s. Art reflects the place and time it was captured in. Mythology is a reflection of the society that crafted it.
