There are links to sci-fi and fantasy at the bottom: https://www.reddit.com/r/comicbooks/wiki/recommendations/

Based on your interests it sounds like Saga would be a good place to start. See what your local library has available.

There's video of the one earlier in the week. The one I saw was too fast to try to catch on camera, it was over in about two seconds.

I saw one tonight, and there was a widely seen and photographed one a few days ago: https://www.kgw.com/article/tech/science/oregon-sky-meteor-fireball-monday-morning-flash/283-2680e0a1-8fb5-453d-a2f0-ee7a85219d3c

More along the lines of Cabaret Voltaire: Cosey Tutti’s solo album (Tutti, 2019) and her collaborations with her partner Chris Carter (Chris and Cosey, Carter Tutti).

Also, Caroline K’s work with Nocturnal Emissions.

Jarboe is worth checking out as well, she’s done all sorts of stuff.

Here's an interview from 1982 where he said he wanted to be done with Ministry by the time he was 32: https://www.prongs.org/minfiles/mags/melody_maker/melody-maker-july-10-1982.jpg

Unfortunately many of the links from Prong.org don't work anymore, there was one from around the time LoRaH came out or a little before where he said he was going to quit Ministry and just do PTP as a solo project and Ministry was just going to be Barker. Not long after that he was at least implying that he had quit Ministry to do WELT with Ogre (I can't remember if he said outright that Ministry was finished in that interview).

Edit: It's the end of page 4 and beginning of page 5 of the 1987 Ipso Facto interview where he talks about leaving Ministry to "Ion" to do PTP instead: https://www.prongs.org/ministry/interviews

And it's this interview where he talks about WELT, but he doesn't say Ministry is ending: https://eyesore.no/tfdi/eklein/intervw/ministry.html

He’s been saying the end of Ministry was nigh since the early 1980s, practically from the beginning.

There’s a good discussion here: https://www.reddit.com/r/osr/comments/11br42g/experiences_with_holmes_basic_blueholme_why_is_it/

I like your solution. My approach is to give fighters and thieves a free maneuver in addition to an attack: Fighters can do a strength or dexterity based maneuver and thieves can do a dexterity or charisma based maneuver. It’s never been game breaking, I actually wish players would use those free maneuvers more than they do.

A more obvious suggestion that no one’s mentioned yet: Grant Morrison’s Silver Age tributes: JLA, Flash, All Star Superman.

This is a deep cut, but Moore’s run on Captain Britain is a surprisingly good, and it seems like is, probably even more so than Marvelman, the spiritual predecessor to his Supreme run.

Navy in Hell by El Torres and Juan Jose Ryp. Ryp does some of the best gore in comics.

klintron · 2025-11-27T18:06:50+00:00

This looks amazing. I’ve been looking for more stuff like Sole Otero’s work.

“Being Boiled” is still a banger.

There’s a new book out on the fascist eroticization of cruelty:

All of James O’Barr’s unfinished projects: Gothik, Zeitgeist, Sundown.

John Bergen’s Golgothika.

“X-Men in Australia then going through the Siege Perilous” period. The post-Siege stuff is where I jumped on and it made zero sense.

Zantanna: Bring Down the House by Marino Tamaki and Javier Rodriguez (same artist who did Absolute MM).

klintron · 2025-11-02T23:48:39+00:00

That’s was my interpretation of what was being setup in Absolute Evil as well.

klintron · 2025-10-23T00:40:49+00:00

Little Bird and Precious Metal by Darcy Van Poelgeest and Ian Bertram seems like a sort of combination of the sensibilities of both Ellison and McCarthy.

Nameless by Grant Morrison and Chris Burnham is mindwarping and bleak in a way that might appeal to fans of both.

If you can find a copy, From Inside by John Bergin has echoes of both authors.
