[Pranay]

Welcome Kilian & Leanne.
Kilian, FCB is my favourite team.
Leanne have you read the Locke and Key series? IMO its fantastic.

[Leanne]

Hi Pranay, nice to meet you! I haven't read that series but I will be giving it a go as I have heard really good things about it.

[Dave]

Locke and Key awesome. By Stephen King's son.
Must read.

[Nancy]

Hi all, Nancy here. I've only been a comics reader for a few months. I started last year as a challenge to try reading new types of literature. I chose comics because they are short and I figured I could read one and know it wasn't for me. Well, joke was on me. I started with Saga and have't been able to stop since. I love Image comics and I've recently dipped my toes into DC/Marvel comics and graphic novels.

[A]

Hi everyone, my name is Amy. I'm from Phoenix, Arizona and have dabbled in in graphic novels and comics since I was pretty young.

I just decided I should get back into it as a sort of New Year's Resolution, so right now I'm in the middle of the third volume of Lucifer among others.

I don't read many superhero works although I'm fond of them (I was into them when I was younger). The universes are just too interconnected and I want endings to my stories now days so I can move on.

It's nice to see all you other fans of the medium!

[Virginia]

Hi you all!
I come from Italy and now I live in Milan.
I started recently to read again comics/graphic novels. Even if in all my life I have always been being supported by Peanuts :)

[Johnny]

Hey, im johnny, im from california, and i love all tjings comics, graphic novels, and sequential art. I am willing to get out of my comfort zone for a good story! All i wanna do is talk to people about our shared interests! Im glad to be a part of this group

[verygarza]

Hello! My name is Veronica and I am a public librarian in Houston TX. I love reading graphic novels and manga in my free time and blog about graphic novels for my library's website. I look forward to participating in this group! I'm new to GoodReads groups so be patient with me :)

[Francisca]

Hello, I'm Francisca from Chile (Latin America), im a huge comicbooks fan and i love superheroes but Locke&Key inspired me to start reading graphic novels, and with that i found one of my favorite novels of all time; Saga and Rat Queens.

[Terpsgrl32]

Hi everyone! My name's Meghan from Maryland. I read a lot of various things, but my favorites right now are Captain Marvel, Ms. Marvel, Batgirl, Gotham Academy, Batman, and Wonder Woman. If it's written by Gail Simone or Kelly Sue Deconnick, I'm probably reading it. I read a good bit of manga too. Big fan of Sailor Moon, Attack on Titan, Sword Art Online, Coppelion, and Fairy Tale. I'm always open to new suggestions to read.

[Maggie]

Hi there! I'm Maggie, and I'm a long-time comic and graphic novel fan. I'm mostly a Marvel girl when it comes to the big two, but honestly, I'll read whatever comic gets put in my hands. Nice to meet y'all.

[Ash]

Hi, I'm Ashlei, or Ash since that is my user name on Goodreads. I am a long time manga fan, then I started reading more light novels, now I'm getting into graphic novels and even comics somewhat, something I never really thought I would get into ever. So I am still fairly new to graphic novels and beyond new when it comes to comics. So not only do I expect to enjoy this group, I also really hope some of the more experienced members will help me learn more about both graphic novels and comics. I am looking forward to being a member of this group.

[Alodia]

Hi all! I'm Alo, I've been loving comics since I was a little kid but everyday things got me and now it's just recently that I'm drowned in comics and graphic novels again. I hope in this group I can some insights (and recommendations, of course) in great graphic novels. Nice to meet you all!

[J.]

Hello,

I've been reading a lot of graphic-novels lately. I particularly enjoy Deadpool. When he is well done, I just can't stop laughing. Such as every time he introduces Hydra Bob to the "teaching stick."

[Kevin]

Hi guys, I'm Kevin, I've read comics since i was a kid, but most of them are translated mangas. About one year ago i started collecting paperbacks of graphic novels and they are growing! I really love them and i hope this group can increase my interest in them. Nice to meet you all!

[John]

[Zombieslayer⚡Alienhunter]

Hello.
I'm Zombieslayer/Alienhunter, but please just call me Z (Zom is also acceptable).
I joined because I just happened to notice a friend of mine was in the group and it sounded cool.
I used to read serials of Spider-Man and the X Men when I was 10-11, but about a year ago I started reading trade paperbacks of graphic novels. I love
Kick-Ass by Mark Millar and I just recently finished the Locke and Key series by Joe Hill.

[Jurgen]

I’ve been a published writer/artist for over 30-years working mainly in comics, (DC Thompson and the former Fleetway Publications). I’ve also worked in TV, radio, spent three years as a gag writer and worked in animation where I wrote a Channel 4 TV series, “The Bunburies. On top of this I did some freelance work in animation for the late Bob Godfrey and later worked for an Indian animation studio in Mumbai. I also contributed a number of gonzo style articles to one of those “top-of-the-shelf” magazines popular with compulsive masturbators, (of which I’m not one...honestly). However my foray into gonzo journalism was conducted without the late Hunter S. Thompson's voracious appetite for mind bending substances. (Well, let’s just say I didn’t take as many as he did).

GET YOUR FREE COMIC HERE!

This is the first issue of the “Halfpenny Dreadful Comic,” an imprint from Whorror House Publishing. This comic is loosely based on the pulp magazines that were popular amongst the plebeians in Victorian England. As a result, every effort bar none has been made to ensure that the content of the comic is as scurrilous and even MORE scatological than its 19th Century forbearers. In this issue the undiscerning reader will discover adult themes such as nude women, details of Elvis Presley’s unofficial autopsy and a totally unrepentant misogynist who makes the Taliban look like relentless supporters for women’s liberation.

Oh, and howdy y'all...lookin' forward to gettin' to know some of you fine folks soon ;)

[Archie]

Hey my name is Archie. I've read a pretty decent variety of graphic novels so I'm up for discussion about anything really. I'm currently about to start Saga, Volumes 1-4 tonight and maybe ghostopolis too.

[Scott]

Hello all. Im a former comic book guy who has been away for too long.

[Sergeant Apone]

Hola Everyone.

I'm Rob from Washington State. I love graphic novels. However, I am slow to read them sometimes due to other interests. (Movies, TV Series and Video Games) Right now, Fables and Locke & Key are at the top of my list. I love the old school X-Men (Colossus is my all time favorite). There is nothing wrong with reading The Dark Knight either. That guy is ok in my book. Feel free to follow me or message me. We can chat about whatever.

[Sarah]

Hello hello to whomever is out there,

My name is Sarah and... well, would you believe it? ... I actually love to read graphic novels too! I read them a lot. I also collect them. I enjoy the gems that all publishing houses have to offer, so my interests vary greatly. I am currently voraciously devouring Irredeemable and Invincible.

Some of my favorite authors: Alan Moore, Mark Waid, Peter David

Some of my favorite artists: Alex Ross, Jae Lee, Steve McNiven

Excelsior and all that, you true believers.

[Sergeant Apone]

Hi Sarah,

Good to see you here. Nuff said!

[BumBahLee]

Hi, I'm Bumble! I am from Louisiana, USA and recently started reading graphic novels (About 3 or 4 months. I never thought I would be into them but when my work started to make a whole section for them (I work at a Library) I had to try one. I was in dire need of something to read that would be fast, easy, and enjoyable since I am in college. So far since starting to read graphic novels I have read around 16 of them!

[Travis]

Hi Everyone!

I've been reading graphic novels pretty heavily the past 2-3 years. Weekly issues were breaking my bank and i have since I am a library assistant I took advantage of our awesome collections.

[Joshie]

Hello,

I'm a new graphic novel fan as I've just learned to fully appreciate them months ago (after reading The Sandman) and I realize that I'm missing something so here I am, looking to expand my knowledge and reading-verse about them. So far, I'm just trying out the new releases, some old ones that which I found in the Top Graphic Novel list. Thank you for having me.

[Joshie]

Thanks for the warm welcome, Kenny!

[Kaitlin]

Hey, I'm Kaitlin and I love reading graphic novels and manga.I'm currently reading a lot of Street Fighter books. I'm always looking for new manga, comics and graphic novels to read! :)

[Josh]

Hi, I'm Josh, and I'm reading comics again for the first time in a very long time. I was a fan in the 80s, and still love John Byrne, George Perez, Bill Sienkiewicz, Hernandez Bros., Dave Sim... and then in the 90s read everything by Dan Clowes and Peter Bagge. I'm a librarian and often work in the graphic novels collection... I think stumbling on an Alex Ross cover kick started my love again!

[Circe]

Hi Kenny and all graphic lovers!
I'm April, currently living in the UK but moving to Boston, MA with my partner in the upcoming year. I've been a fan of comics since I was old enough to nip to the local comic store around the corner to get them with my sweater jacked up to my chin. I'm following all sorts of new relaunches, as well as reaching into old classics and more independent graphic novels. I'm following Sex Criminals, Lumberjanes, Ant-Man, A-Force, Captain Marvel, Carol Corps, Angela, Wicked and Divine, etc. Mostly ones with female leads/robots if I'm honest. Favourite artists include Chip Zdarsky, Charles Burns, Erika Moen and others. Otherwise, I'm trying to finish Locke and Key.

[Camilo]

Hello all,

I'm Camilo from Colombia. I'm a graphic novel and manga fan. Hope to talk about it here.

Thanks!

[Heaven]

Hello, I'm Heaven. I haven't read many graphic novels/comics, but I've really enjoyed the ones I have read and want to start reading a lot more. I figured a group like this is a good starting point.

[M]

Hey, My name is Monique, I'm from Manchester, UK. I love to collect comic books and graphic novels. I've just started reading Lady Mechanika which is quickly becoming my favourite comic. I also read a lot of manga. My favourite is Bleach and Assasination classroom.

[Alix]

Hi hi!
Name is Alix and I'm from Nova Scotia, Canada. I've always loved comics and graphic novels, but never really got into them until about a year ago when I started dating my boyfriend (he has 3 bookshelves filled with comics and graphic novels, as well as maybe 5 boxes of them!) Since then, my collection has grown so much.
I'm always looking for new comics to read (not that big a fan of the New 52 :/) but I'm really interested in local writers and whatnot. Also horror or anything generally creepy.
My favourites right now are Chew, Batgirl of Burnside, Morning Glories, and Ms. Marvel :)

[Dan]

Hi, I'm Dan. I was born and raised in DC, and now live in NYC. Growing up in the 80s, I was into newspaper comics and Mad Magazine early on and later Heavy Metal and underground/alternative comics from the 1960s on. I'd go to comic book stores and skip right by the Marvel and DC stuff and look for the dusty boxes in the back where the indie stuff was. In recent years, I've been trying to catch up on some of the best reputed graphic novels I never got to from the 1980s to the present. So in recent years, I read Maus, The Dark Knight Returns, Watchmen, Batman: Year One, and the first Love & Rockets books. More recently, during a mid-season hiatus of Walking Dead, I read all of the Walking Dead trade paperbacks. That got me interested in checking out more contemporary comics. Then Netflix's Daredevil got me interested in finally taking a good look at Marvel & DC's offerings, especially in the present day. I figure that a group like this one, especially with its reading groups, can help me get up to speed.

[Tommy]

Hi, just wanted to welcome all the new members. Usually the group moderator that created this group 4 years ago would welcome all the new members. Unfortunately and sadly, he will not be able to do that anymore. Feel free to browse around and let the different group topics give you some new ideas or introduce you to some new graphic novels that would interest you. Good luck.

[Grace]

Hi, I am Grace.
I am a bookseller who runs a graphic novel section at the shop I work in.
I'm a big fan of a lot of stuff Image are putting out (Saga, Wicked and The Divine etc) but do like DC and Marvel staples as well like X-men and Batman.
Always interested in new stuff :)

[[deleted user]]

Very happy to join you, I have a passion for comics/graphic novels since forever.
My all-time favorites are 20th Century Boys, Sandman, Monster, V for Vendetta, Pluto, Death Note, Calvin&Hobbes, Billy the Kid by Noboru Rokuda. I'm here for insights and recommendations, so thank you for having me!

[Marieke]

Hi, I'm Marieke from The Netherlands and I love comics and animation. I look forward to talking comics with you :)

[[deleted user]]

Hi, I'm Jom from the Philippines. I've been into comics since 2008 while I was still in college. I mostly read DC Comics, Vertigo, Image and other comics from independent publishers. Right now, I'm dipping my toes into European comics like The Incal and Blacksad. My favorite writers include Grant Morrison, Alan Moore, Kurt Busiek, Neil Gaiman and Brian K. Vaughan. Looking forward to reading comics with you guys!

[Chris]

Hi, Chris here, from Minnesota, USA. Saw this group on the newsfeed of a friend, and since I love graphic novels I thought I'd join. I read a wide variety, but tend toward comics if I have them. In that form, I'll read everything, but less super-hero, more dark drama.

[Tommy]

Welcome to the group Grace, Rokovoko, Marieke, Jom, & Chris.

[Eric]

I have been a member of this group for a while, but I do not think I have ever formally introduced myself. My name is Eric and I am from Norman, Oklahoma. I have read comics and graphic novels off and on since the early 1990s when the X-Men animated series got me hooked on the mutant characters.
I am currently reading several comic book series, though I plan on adding more books to my reading list soon. I love Jeff Lemire and am following his run on Hawkeye and Descender. Jonathan Hickman and Esad Ribic are doing a great job on Secret Wars. I love the Star Wars Lando series that Marvel is putting out (Marvel is doing a great job with the license). I follow several Image titles in trade with Trees, Lazarus, and Autumnlands: Tooth and Claw volumes sitting on my to-read shelf. I also plan on picking the latest Wicked and the Divine and Wytches trades ASAP.
October is going to be a big comic book buying month for me-looking forward to Paper Girls from Vaughn and Chiang, Black Magic from Rucka and Scott, Dr. Strange from Aaron and Bachalo, and, of course, one of my favorite writers taking over my beloved X-Men and Old Man Logan :)
I want to get a lot out of this group and enjoy reading all of the commentary on here.

[Lynda]

Hi! My name's Lynda, I'm from the Seattle area of Washington State. (35 miles SE of the city). I just started reading comic/books,and graphic novels. It took me a while to get over the intimidation that comes from the sheer volume of material out there...in the end, I just jumped in and started finding characters I wanted to read more of. I'm here to find recommendations, and explore.

[Henrik]

Hey everyone, I'm Henrik from Copenhagen, Denmark. I have been reading comic books pretty much all my life. Some of my favorite artists/writers include Grant Morrison, Frank Quitely, Jack Kirby, Moebius, Winsor McCay and Geoff Johns. In the superhero genre I try and limit myself to DC Comics, but only because I would otherwise go broke. Beyond that I am also interested in comic studies and have done some writing in the field myself. I always enjoy learning more about comics and finding new ones to read, so I'm hoping this group can help me with that. I am also interested in meeting fellow comic book fanatics, so feel free to add me as a friend. :)

[Tommy]

Welcome to the group Lynda and Henrik. Eric re-welcoming you back to the group.

[Emilio]

Hello everyone.

My name is Emilio Suárez and I'm from Puerto Rico. I've been a member of this group for a while, but haven't't introduced myself.

I start digging in graphic novels and comics a couple of months ago. I can say this has expand my knowledge and my taste for literature. Also to writing. I'm a screenwriter (without job, hehe).

I hope to find new friends and and talk to people about stories.

Thank you.

[Tommy]

Welcome to the group Emilio.

[Guts]

Hi, I'm Guts.

I just got serious about reading again this year and I meant for it to be more novels than comics but I've actually read a good amount of singles and TPBs as well. I am currently obsessed with The Wicked + The Divine. Kieron is the man. If you haven't, check out Young Avengers. I've been obsessed with any and all things regarding Thanos since I became introduced to comics. And man, am I excited for Thanos vs. Deadpool coming out. I also really enjoy Posion Ivy and The Joker. I'm slowly branching out by currently reading Sex Criminals and then Wytches next month.

Feel free to add me as a friend and we can talk about comics anytime.
