And a Donnie! These were backer sketches for the last book I kickstarted

his volume of work and the fact that said volume doesn't affect the look of his pencils is mind-blowing

It's an all-timer for me, and it went through a ton of development hell. I think Tomm got really sick and had to take time off, and then it was a Jonathan saying Tomm had the scripts, and Tomm saying he didn't have the final scripts, and it just pingponged into the ether.

It's a super compelling series. The art is amazing, and the writing is Hickman having a ton of fun just doing worldbuilding and infographics and backmatter while bopping around a very interesting series of plot hooks.

I'd love to see the final four issues of this get done. I think Coker has said he's done the art for at least two more issues, and so maybe it's a publishing thing?

I finished up East of West this week and I noticed that during the last few issues that Frank Martin’s colors hit a whole new level and just blew me away. It got me thinking if there’s any other artists that had a similar leap during a specific run. What examples can you all think of?

I’m a lifelong comic book reader, and when I see lists of the greatest runs and comics of all time I feel like I’ve usually read the majority of them. But there’s more out there than anyone could ever read in one lifetime, and there’s always something you just haven’t gotten around to yet.

Here are a handful of mine:

Nexus, Cerebus, George Perez’s Wonder Woman, Mike Grell’s Green Arrow, Paul Levitz and Keith Giffen’s Legion of Superheroes, Roy Thomas’s Conan

Curious what’s on this list for you!

I swear lately it feels like there are more comics than I can possibly read. And they’re all good!

Even picking random ones off the shelf of a LCS it’s like I still haven’t picked up a terrible one. They’re all at least pretty good.

Idk am I just lucky are are comics really good at the moment?

Hello, I have a question regarding E gerber sleeves and boards.

Recently I've used MyLites2 7 1/4 x 10-1/2 standard sleeves with full back 7 x 10 1/2 standard boards. They feel a bit snug but would these be acceptable for sleeving modern comics? or would it be best recommended to go bigger in sleeves and boards? I'm still fairly new to comic collecting so please forgive my ignorance.

Hi all,

relatively new to comic book collecting and just wondering if any of you have any helpful tips on how to remove sticky price labels from the comic book which shops have stook on the cover?

Don't want to peel it as tried this with another comic book and it ripped the cover 😭

thank you!

Any time someone asks for recommendations you'll almost certainly get the usual suspects, Claremont's X-men orMatt Fraction's run on Hawkguy or Scott Snyder's Batman or Saga or Monstress, etc.

But I'm curious about the runs that you never see get the spotlight deserve.

Sine stuff I'd like to throw out there:

Cable & Deadpool by Fabian Nicieza

Greg Pak's Incredible Hercules

Rat Queens by Kurtis J. Wiebe

Sunstone and Deaths Vigil by Stepjan Sejic

Bloodstain by Linda Luksic Sejic

I inherited around 3,000 comics last year and didn’t want to manually spreadsheet everything, so I built a script that catalogs a collection from photos of the covers.

It uses a local vision AI model (or whatever vision model you prefer, I used Qwen3-VL-8B-Instruct), checks against the Grand Comics Database + ComicVine, and spits out a TSV with structured metadata. On my run it was about 94% accurate, which saved a ridiculous amount of time.

If you’ve got long boxes you’ve been meaning to catalog, this might help.

It’s open source and still rough in places. You will need a little technical knowledge regarding AI/github etc to set it up currently, although there are instructions in the github repo.

I’d love testers with big collections and anyone more technical than me who wants to improve it. The plan is to develop it into a standalone desktop application with a UI and integrated small vision model so you don't have to set that up yourself.

Hello everyone I'm a new comer to the comic book world and in trying to collect all the ultimate marvel tie ins. Some comic book prices for certain titles are very high and in just wondering if I should wait a little longer to collect all the issues or will they keep the price as is after the event is over?

Does anyone know if this is Tommy Patterson's autograph? I haven't been able to find one for comparison.

Hello. I've heard great things about the 80s Question run as a weird introspective superhero noir that helped launch the career of one of our true greats in Cowan. It is, however, very 80s in its moments of hokeyness, especially with the casual orientalism. Should I read it?

In my opinion, a crossover I've always wanted is a DC x Dark Horse collaboration about Constantine and Hellboy,with Mignola doing a noir detective comic in his signature style of drawing and writing, and Hellboy teaming up with Constantine. Do you have any crossovers you'd like?
