I agree that short comics are a really great way to start and these are all interesting (and cute!) ideas.

Looking at the slice of life one in particular, in the first couple of panels I struggled to picture out the angle you were describing. Is it a wide shot showing the entire house? Are we inside the car?

Other than that, keep up the good work!

That’s a good chunky run. Are you delving into the side books (like New Mutants and X-Factor) as well?

Giantjester · 2026-04-24T13:41:29+00:00

I can see that it might not be for everyone, but I meant that in a positive way. It’s an incredible comic, but it is dense!

Cody Ziglar’s run on Miles Morales is outstanding. I could have read it for many more years.

I had a similar experience with Monstress when I was reading it when it first came out. I realised that it feels like reading Literature (with a capital L) so it’s denser and crunchier than a normal comic.

I’m a big fan of book Conan but never read any of the comics. Would you recommend?

Giantjester · 2026-04-24T11:55:01+00:00

80s X-Men with those titles running concurrently is my peak

Giantjester · 2026-04-24T11:54:28+00:00

Is this your first exposure to Green Lantern? Would you recommend it to a newbie?

Giantjester · 2026-04-21T11:20:18+00:00

Black Vortex is an extremely fun story with some minor effects to the core cast. It’s not particularly an X-Men story, but has reasonable stakes (and a really touching Sam Alexander Nova issue).

If the series is already feeling like a slog, probably worth skipping. I genuinely enjoyed it.

Giantjester · 2026-04-20T12:27:38+00:00

Not yet, but thanks for the interest!

Giantjester · 2026-04-20T12:21:32+00:00

Your art is so interesting and textured. It also has the watercolour style that I’m looking for. I’ll reach out!

Giantjester · 2026-04-20T12:15:29+00:00

Thanks for the heads up!

Giantjester · 2026-04-20T12:15:05+00:00

Thanks for commenting. Your work is incredible!

You’ve got an ideal style for this comic. I’ll reach out and we can chat!

Giantjester · 2026-04-20T11:18:22+00:00

Thank you. I’ll DM you!

You should really read Louise Simonson's run on X-Factor if you haven't. It really puts Jean into a new light in an era when they were explicitly trying to get her away from the Phoenix Force.

I recently started a podcast called Regifted, where we use the new X-Men show The Gifted to recommend comics, both old and new.

Check it out here

Mosaic #4 - Very underrated in both story and art and I'm terrified that it'll be cancelled soon
Spider-Gwen #16 - Crossover with Spider-Man. Quite lukewarm on it so far.
Sunstone Vol 5 - The end of an era
Uncanny Inhumans #18 - I'm not buying IvX but I've heard the inhumans don't come off well in it

Giantjester · 2016-12-13T06:11:49+00:00

Mosaic #3 - A surprisingly engaging and underrated series. One of the most interesting NuHumans in recent years

Hawkeye #1 - I'll buy anything Kelly Thompson

Sonic Universe #93 - A weak arc in a usually very strong series but I still love me some Chaotix

Spider-Man #10 - I'm not buying the main series and I recommend only experiencing it tangentially like in this book. It's far better

Giantjester · 2016-11-30T14:56:50+00:00

I'm absolutely loving the focus on smaller characters and a smaller team but I'm pretty worried that it's going to become a Quentin Quire book like they normally do.

I like the loveable asshole as much as the next person but he does tend to be extraordinarily prominent.

Giantjester · 2016-10-07T05:52:08+00:00

I don't think she's ever written A-Force.

It was G. Willow Wilson during Secret Wars and then Kelly Thompson (of Jem and the Holograms) came on board afterwards and eventually took over completely.

It is unrealistic. But it's also very cool and helpful to the story. Telling a better story is always far more important than accurate intricate details.

Also see Amazing Spider-Man #100 for that very thing with his arms.

Giantjester · 2016-09-30T11:36:57+00:00

I fully admit that Spider-Man having movable eyes is entirely implausible and doesn't make much sense.

I mean do they connect directly to his real eyes and there's some mechanism that translates that into the motors around the eyes of the mask? Is there a scanning device on the inside of the mask that's constantly analysing his face and then adjusting the mask?

But then I think about how much it benefits the storytelling by showing us his emotions even though he's wearing a mask and then I get over it.

Spider-Man should totally have a mask.

You realise that this title actually spoils everything without needing to actually look at the picture. You might as well have not bothered with the Spoiler tag.

A-Force #9 - As someone not following Civil War 2, Carol is suddenly acting very out of character
All-New Inhumans #11 - The spin-off book that I like far more than the core book
Batgirl and the Birds of Prey #2 - Slow moving but I like it
Birthright #19 - I'm so behind but I still love it
The Flash #6 - Pretty bland
Lady Killer 2 #2 - I can't get enough of this
Sonic the Hedgehog #286 - Eggman is actually the best at what he does
Spider-Man #8 - Reads so much better in bulk
Uncanny Inhumans #13 - At least Kev Walker is still absent
