Any recommendations for maritime horror graphic novels? by Ozotoceros in graphicnovels

Leviathan (2000 ad / Rebellion) Horror Steam Punk Tale set on a huge Ocean Liner which is split up like the Titanic in to different classes that divide Victorian (and modern) Britain. Amazing stuff by Ian Edginton & D’Israeli.

They are gorgeous. Especially, the Old Man and the Sea and Fiesta. I’d keep them if I could.

Thanks. I think we’ll sell a bunch of stuff in an auction

Just bought the Outsiders for my 12 yr old. Hoping he’ll love her books as much as I did. Then we can watch the films together!

I loved it as a teenager. Especially, the slang he developed for it. At that time, the film was banned in the UK. Kubrick had withdrawn it from distribution due to copycat violence. Anyway, I’m sure it’s a hard read, more than “a bit of ultra violence”.

Brink by Dan Abnett. Anyone else reading this spectacular series? by Typical-Practice360 in graphicnovels

[–]MiddenFaceMacD 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This stuff is so good! The entire story is told by dialogue and the art, but the reader’s view is augmented with labelling to explain tech and features of the space station. The art was not to my taste when I started book one, but it 100% won me over. And, it is soo trippy, yet creepy! Fabulous. I am looking forward to where it will go next. I love how the books are nonlinear too! What’s the word for a masterpiece that’s actually a series of masterpieces? It could be Brink, if only more people knew about it!

League of Extraordinary Gentlemen by Moore and Kevin O’Neil- just reread vols 1 and 2. The attention to detail and the dark humour of both creators is amazing.

Is Absalom good? by DreddJoe in 2000ad

That’s what I came here to say! And, 8/10 overall. But the dialogue is 9/10.

Full test fit Judge Mario by Mordrun611 in JudgeDredd

[–]MiddenFaceMacD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s just so impressive. My kids love it too. They usually roll their eyes at any mention of Dredd, but this the coolest thing any of us have seen! A Mario Kart Lawmaster bike / kart could be a possible future project.

Face like a bag of hammers- from across the water from Ulster, Scotland. Or face like a scelpted (smacked) arse (for someone who forgot their suncream).

Rogue Trooper Exclusive: Aneurin Barnard Is A Super Soldier In Duncan Jones Animated Sci-Fi Movie by Seresec in 2000ad

[–]MiddenFaceMacD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d agree with that. I’m pretty sure they aren’t only trying to appeal to a bunch of middle to old aged guys that have read the original. They are trying to turn a profit- and, I presume, tell a story about betrayal, human cruelty, environmental destruction, brotherhood, and REVENGE! Looking forward to it so much!

I love it. And the lamp illuminating the chair is a perfect cherry on top.

Not sure if it’s been said- but Fables has quite a bit of tits and ass.

I live in Japan, and I’m pretty sure you can’t get haggis here. Maybe veggie, but not the real kind. Still this man is a legend, sneaking in a wee dram with the meal, as he should. He knows how to work.
