    You know what… I’m going to take that as an invitation. By your tone, I feel like I’m being a bloody arse here, so let’s have you recommend something here and now, something for me to read, or…

    Or, maybe you take one of the many Euro comics I’ve scribed at my community, and see what you think? Btw-- Blacksad is cringeworthily American to me.

    Hit me with something new and intriguing, if you please.

    I actually have one in the chamber, almost a perfect marriage of American-style and Euro-style, haha…

      I’m actually a huge fan of the community and have been subbed since the beginning. I skim a lot of the stuff you share. That’s why I jumped on this thread. I think we like a lot of the same things. I really like a ton of the short Vertigo, Dark Horse, and Image stuff. I don’t get into the superhero lines because I don’t find the stories interesting.

      If you can speed read through the first and possibly second story line of 100 Bullets, I think it gets way better and it’s one of my favorites. Like I said, I totally get where you’re coming from on those first issues and see why you might not want to continue.

      East of West is probably the only newer thing I really like. You can see the Moebius influence. The story can kinda drag and there are some interesting choices.

      I really haven’t read many comics in recent years. I’ve been rereading Tintin to share it with some young relatives. Groo, Usagi Yojimbo, and Hellboy are some other favorites.

      I would love recommendations.
