I’ve read comics my whole life, but how much has varied a lot. It’s been and on/off love affair, and it’s been off for a while now, except for some manga. But this year I plan to catch up with some I love and discover new titles I haven’t even heard about yet.

One enduring love has been Love and Rockets, and while I already have a lot from the earlier years, I’ll be getting the trades and work my way through all the newer stuff.

Saga is another, much more recent title I’ll be reading, and have already ordered the two first HCs.

Same thing with Lazarus, though I already have the first HC.

I recently got the Humble Bundle of Strangers in Paradise, but I really want them in physical form, I don’t really enjoy reading comics on a screen. So those will be added to my list of stuff to get over time.

So much to discover. Suggestions welcome.

And btw, this was my first ever lemmy post, so Hi!

    Welcome! Always happy to have more people here!

    My number one recommendation is the One hand & Six fingers comic. They are 2 separate comics with an interwoven story arch. It is a completed story so no waiting on new editions.

    If you are into DC and Marvel they both have an alternative universe run at the moment that is pure gold. The Ultimate titles from Marvel and Absolute for DC. From Marvel I also like the Ryan North Fantastic Four series, short one off adventures with an overarching story.

    Lastly Image Comics is having some really cool non hero comics, Grommits, Wicked and Divine, Geiger (kinda superhero-ey).

    There is so much good stuff at the moment, I hope you will have a blast!

      Thanks! I’ll probably not be super active, I rarely am, but comics are fun so who knows…

      I’m not very interested in supers, generally speaking, so I’ll probably not look into Marvel or DC. I have a bunch of Image comics, some as floppies others digital and I’ve read a little from Wicked and Divine and thought it looked interesting. I’ll definitely be re-reading those to see what I think now. One hand & Six fingers looks interesting, so that’s one I’ll look into as well.

      I’ve already ordered the first trade of Isola, should get it tomorrow, and have my eye on Somna (which incidentally means ‘fall asleep’ in Swedish) . Thanks for the suggestions.

      Thanks, I’m unfamiliar with all of those but I’ll check them out. I’ve heard of Tom Strong, but that’s all.
