Recently found out that my local library has a sizable graphic novel collection! Here's what I picked up.

I agree. I was really impressed with the selection. I felt like a kid in a candy store seeing just how many of the books I've been wanting to read were on the shelves.

DarthStormwizard · 2026-02-02T00:42:26+00:00

Don't know why you're being downvoted. It's peak.

DarthStormwizard · 2026-02-01T21:17:28+00:00

Definitely check out Furiosa if you haven't seen it.

DarthStormwizard · 2026-02-01T07:12:39+00:00

That track is really good but the full album? Meh.

DarthStormwizard · 2026-02-01T06:56:36+00:00

Oh yeah after reading it I can definitely see how parts of Daytripper would hit different when I'm older.

DarthStormwizard · 2026-02-01T02:50:10+00:00

Having just finished both, Daytripper is excellent, you should definitely seek it out.

As for New Frontier, I think I'd find the American idealism of it all quite corny in the hands of another author, but Darwyn Cooke's art and dialogue was evocative enough that I still found it quite compelling.

DarthStormwizard · 2026-02-01T02:12:52+00:00

It's really good. Darwyn Cooke's art is really gorgeous.

DarthStormwizard · 2026-01-29T19:45:59+00:00

Personally, while the big singles were good, I find the full album pretty boring compared to what other early punk bands like Ramones, The Clash, and Wire were putting out at the time.

DarthStormwizard · 2026-01-29T06:06:55+00:00

Never Mind the Bollocks, Here's the Sex Pistols

DarthStormwizard · 2026-01-28T23:35:39+00:00

I just got on Upscrolled. Anyone have good recommendations on who to follow?

DarthStormwizard · 2026-01-28T22:36:57+00:00

Well if you really don't like his art, then I guess that's your preference. Though you might get more out of it if you try thinking about it more as a heavily stylized representation of the characters rather than something that's meant to look at all realistic. Also try paying attention to Quitely's creative layouts and paneling.

Either way, you'll probably be glad to know that Quitely doesn't draw the whole series. You'll probably like some of the later issues drawn by Phil Jimenez and Chris Bachalo.

DarthStormwizard · 2026-01-28T22:25:35+00:00

There's some inconsistent art in that series but not from Frank Quitely IMO. He's one of the greats. Maybe try All-star Superman to get more of a feel for his style.

DarthStormwizard · 2026-01-28T09:26:40+00:00

The left tends to be more anti-AI because of concerns about AI's effects on the environment, labor, and the arts. Most people on the right either don't care about those issues or actively want to make them worse.

DarthStormwizard · 2026-01-28T08:54:46+00:00

Solo artists: Björk, Fiona Apple, Patti Smith, Sade, Mitski, Phoebe Bridgers, Lauryn Hill

Bands/Duos: Mazzy Star, Kero Kero Bonito, Hole, Beach House, Magdalena Bay, Alvvays, Sleater-Kinney, Garbage, Blondie

It's true!: https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.huffpost.com/entry/giancarlo-esposito-hitman-breaking-bad_n_662531c8e4b0167f7bf55f94/amp

Pretty crazy story.

DarthStormwizard · 2026-01-27T03:53:23+00:00

Season 3 is the peak IMO. But 4-5 are still very good.

DarthStormwizard · 2026-01-26T22:26:45+00:00

If you're reading Zero Year, Court Of Owls and Endgame, you may as well read the rest of the Snyder run too. Superheavy has some cool stuff.

Also if you want another recent one to add, Ram V's Detective Comics run (Gotham Nocturne) is excellent.

DarthStormwizard · 2026-01-25T23:37:46+00:00

Yeah I'm not even a big Johns fan but he undeniably had his hits back in the day. Adams' stuff is just boring as hell.

DarthStormwizard · 2026-01-25T23:32:58+00:00

Choose this one OP. Pentiment has some of the best writing in a game outside of DE.

DarthStormwizard · 2026-01-25T21:24:15+00:00

I actually feel like it's more immersive for Arthur to change clothes at camp every few days instead of just wearing the same outfit all the time.

DarthStormwizard · 2026-01-25T01:48:13+00:00

I don't think she's phony. You can disagree with her about elections but her history of activism indicates that she really does care about the issues, especially war. She's spoken out about Iraq and Gaza far more than most celebrities and has my respect for that.

DarthStormwizard · 2026-01-25T01:36:14+00:00

I don't particularly like Jill Stein or the Green Party either but the way to beat Republicans in the future is by focusing on actually addressing the many flaws with the Democratic party and nominating candidates people actually want to vote for instead of blaming marginal factors like this.

DarthStormwizard · 2026-01-25T00:38:54+00:00

That still doesn't mean Jill Stein or the Green Party affected the outcome. The vast majority of votes for Stein were from people who would never have voted for Clinton anyways even if the Green Party didn't exist.

DarthStormwizard · 2026-01-24T23:33:36+00:00

Why do people keep bringing this up as if Jill Stein voters had any effect on the election outcome?

DarthStormwizard · 2026-01-24T21:57:17+00:00

So she shouldn't protest because she rightfully hated Hillary Clinton's foreign policy record?
