COMICS!!! |OT| June 2020 | How are you going to adapt that into a thread title?

I love (not really) how there's all these shitty retailers, and I got the one good one. Like he hated Diamond and talked about how they screwed him over. He's probably loving this. But also terrified, because change, but also change means competition and that's healthy.
i vote fullmetal! great characters that Messi will want to protect.

Bleach vs Naruto vs One Piece
I started watching Haikyu and that is very much my jam.
I haven't read the manga, but FMA's got a world, characters, and art you'd like a lot I think.
Like if Messi doesn't jam with Izumi or Mei then everything I know about him is wrong.
probably the first arc of bleach, but after that not as much. naruto would be more your thing overall.
I think many shops have been incredibly resistant to change lately but Higgins is right that DC should have given them more time to prepare for this transition. Some serious shit must have gone down behind the scenes.
I'd read the manga. The second FMA anime rushes through the beginning arcs to get to the material not covered by FMA 2003.
(but read Vinland Saga)
It's great. But really. Read the manga. Great character and story development. Watch the anime once you've read the manga.
One Piece for good characters and character arcs, which I think is important to you. I don't think Naruto or Bleach are very good overall, despite strong beginnings.
Yup.
MHA, as good as the animation is, isn't really as good as Bones can really go. Like, Soul Eater is peak Bones
Now is not the time to be suggesting FMA to Messi. Read that later Messi.
Read Yotsuba or Barakamon.
Or read the first few arcs of Naruto and Bleach.

yar i think the manga is a really good place to start. both the animes are great in different ways, but have weird gaps that feel less bad if you've read the manga.
one piece is definitely my favorite of the three, but I'm not sure how Messi would jive with the silliness and humor. he tends to like more straightforward stories.
Seriously shit is so good.
Which reminds me, wtf was up with the latest Gotham Knight issue? They made Killer Moth into... a villain Batman respects? And isn't a joke? The whole time I'm reading it I'm waiting for the reveal that this is in KM's imagination or something but... nope.
I will always feel less ripped off by manga because you get so many more pages for your money.

Try Barakamon then. A lot more character development and growth.
Or try Silver Spoon, you might enjoy that too. Also look into Saturn Apartments if you are looking for something sci-fi.
lol, I am really trying to think of anti-PunPuns to suggest.
Full Metal Alchemist
Naruto
But honestly, probably none of them lol. I think you would like Naruto, up until the Shipuden stuff. The manga is still pretty good after that, but the show is by far a no go at that point.
Either read the manga, or watch FMA Brotherhood.
Youll love it either way. I think the manga is really well done though. Its just a matter of do you want to read it or do you want to watch the show. Both are great.
I haven't read any of it, but that's an odd take. Killer Moth is one of those villains who should consistently never get respect. Ever.
I felt like I was losing my mind. Like, this is a work right? Nope. Totally played straight.
I like JoJo's but you strike me as someone who would like Fullmetal more
just read one piece already
I will never read One Piece. That shit is just too far in for me to even contemplate starting.
Isn't KM basically the OG Batman but a villain? It makes sense when viewed this way
Yo. We're finally getting a Grant Morrison Heavy Metal story collected.
Grant Morrison and Gerhard's Smile of the Absent Cat, Collected
The Smile of the Absent Cat was a real highlight of the recent Grant Morrison era of Heavy Metal Magazine. Written by Grant and drawn by Cerebus artist

I mean it's a deep pull, but most modern interpretations have him as a joke so I was not prepared.
I lurk this thread but don't post much, might as well ask y'all:
So I'm generally a Marvel guy (haven't read DC with any sort of consistency for probably a decade) but I've been in the mood for some Batman lately. What's a good, recent Batman run? Preferably something that's kinda finished but I'm open minded.

I almost always dislike formerly "legit" villains being treated as jokes tbh
Had he ever been legit past the 30s and 40s? Most comics I've read had him as a loser.
I do remember him being treated as "not-a-joke" in a run with rather modern art, but this memory is so vague. But yeah, he's usually depicted as a joke
I don't have strong feelings about him either way. Still, a guy in a bat costume is just as cheesy as a guy in a moth costume. I wouldn't mind seeing killer moth be treated seriously again (especially if we get less joker stories)
True enough. It was just weird to see Batman saying "In a strange way he inspired me" about a guy that uses an armband literally labeled "gun magnet" in the same story.
I mean, Batman's been consistently solid the last ~10 years. These are all finished:
Batman by Scott Snyder is pretty universally loved.
Batman by Tom King is more controversial, with a lot of love-it-or-hate-it stuff in there.
Detective Comics by by James Tynion IV is more of a Bat Family book, but also very solid.
And there's also Batman by Grant Morrison but I'm not sure if that's in your "recent" category. Same with Paul Dini's Detective Comics run.
If you do digital, the recent digital comic they've been releasing during Covid is good and a low barrier of entry (single issue storylines and $1 price)

After that, try Scott Snyder's run. The next big DC event is a continuation of what started there, so you might catch up.
