Hi Mimi. Welcome to the group. I am Richard the new administrator/moderator.

We are currently going to revive the group, as I see it has been dormant for several years since the founder of the group passed away.

Hopefully once it is going again this week, that it can be revitalized and have a lot of interactions from members who love the comic book and graphic novel medium.

Marc | 1 comments Hi Ken! I'm Marc and i currently am working on my independent comic department called Infinity Comics ;)

I usually play basketball and go out with friends most of the time but nothing beats me into writing characters that come to my mind on a daily basis

so far i had created over 200 characters, all connected into one single universe. seperated by 5 segments, 3 phases, and one final conclusion that would start a new reign of heroes into my fictional world. :}

Dennis (dennisnn) | 2 comments Hi, I'm Dennis. I'm a journalist and editorial illustrator that's working on my first graphic novel. It's in the weird western category so mixed with horror. I'm also a big graphic novel reader. I grew up reading your standard big publisher mix of superhero books. But I reacquired the habit after college and now my shelves overflow. Look forward to joining the discussion.

Welcome to the group Laurence. Actually the founder, Ken, passed away several years ago. I am in the process of reviving the group the last month. Hopefully get it going again.

That's a good set of comic books/graphic novels you are interested in. It's a shame that Vertigo is being revamped. Hopefully, whoever is the editor-in-chief for the revamped "Vertigo" line will keep it the way it has been like when it was under Karen Berger.

There's a Buddy Reads folder here. Feel free to create a topic and I'd be happy to do a Buddy Reads discussion with you.

Please feel free to create a topic there and promote your works. Have a good time playing basketball this weekend. It's not too hot outside now that it's September. Take good care.

Welcome to the group. 52 is definitely a fantastic read in the DCU without the Trinity taking center stage. Enjoy reading the rest of the story.

message 1042: by L.A. (new)

L.A. Cunningham (lacunningham) Hi all!

One of my friends recently started his own comic book company and since I don't have much background in comics, he told me I NEEDED to read Watchmen as my introduction to the graphic novel world. So I read it. And I loved it. And now I want to get more involved in the comic book world and geek out with some like-minded individuals. When I saw the little happy face icon for this group, I figured it might be a good place for that. :)


message 1043: by Al (new)

Al Capwned | 3 comments Hey guys! I am a member of this group for so long but I've never had the time to write anything, so I guess the least I can do is write something in the introduction thread.
I love comics, I read all kinds of them but I prefer european and the underground ones. I'm not a fan of the superhero genre but I still own superhero comics and I've read quite a few of them, too.
So, I guess I should try to take part in more discussions from now on.


message 1044: by Joe (new)

Joe Kerr (joekerr) | 8 comments Howdy, ya'll! I love to read, obviously, or I wouldn't be here. The visual mediums of comics, GNs, & manga are the most enjoyable to me in regards to what all I read. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy both fiction & non-fiction books, but there's just something about manga/comics. Some stories can only be done justice with a visual format. For instance, can any of you imagine what say, The Watchmen had been like, had it been a novel, instead of graphic arts? It probably wouldn't even be remembered, nearly 40 years later. I live in Spokane, WA but I also lived in Montana. Regardless of where I am, I am always reading.


message 1045: by [deleted user] (new)

Hello. I am a sequential art enthusiast from the Rocky Mountains of Canada.

I illustrate graphic novels and comics stories from my home studio and am currently writing my own, as well.

Ashley | 1 comments Hello :) My name is Ashley. I love reading graphic novels. I started out with reading comic books, and have recently joined the world of Manga.

I've recently been reading Zelda: Twilight Princess, Death Note, Kingdom Hearts II, Requiem of the Rose King, and the Vinland Saga. Anyone have any good manga/ graphic novel recommendations?
