This thread has some dumbass opinions but this one is a black hole of stupidity.
well I got Morrison's Doom Patrol omnibus and it came in today. so that happened. still gotta get through Animal Man. the omnibus is fucking huge though, biggest I've bought yet. quality of the omnibus seems kind of shit which is a shame but the pages are there so I'll read it one way or another lol
By all fucking means, read Neonomicon and Providence and then tell me he isn't a giant hack.
Actually, Sou Da, you just don't understand how 20 pages of a monster raping the lead character is a deep commentary on the Lovecraftian universe and its themes.
Yes, let's take two works from a prolific writer and extrapolate that he or she is a hack. Are you serious?
The last issue was giant masturbatory conversation about how Lovecraft stories should end while the world was ending. Several issues before that had a character that was constantly reminded to the reader to be 13 being graphically raped by the main character.
At the very fucking least I can say that he's really bad at horror.

Sou Da so by your logic, I read two, well three, of your posts and I think you are one of the stupidest posters on era. Does that work for you?
And have you read early Moore, or do you just want to flog the same texts over and over? What a dumbass...

Can we maybe stop getting so hurt by a person's opinion on a writer that has nothing to do with you? That'd be great.
Read From Hell and tell me Moore is "really bad at horror." I mean, it's like you are actively trying to have shit opinions and cherry-pick evidence.
How else will they learn to correct their stupid opinions? And were we talking to you?
I doubt anybody has corrected their opinions after being called insult after insult.
I would say Alan Moore is a hack, but he has passed his period of peak performance. It happens. Frank Miller has a series of genre-defining runs, but his name and work no longer excite me. Chris Claremont defined the X-Men, but his name on a book in 2018 is an easy pass. Gerry Conway was a top-tier creator with a great Spider-Man run under his belt, but he's B and C tier today. The same is true of Moore. I can respect his contributions without thinking that he does great work now.
(He doesn't.)
The difference between Alan Moore and Sou Da is one is a writer who doesn't care what someone on a message board says about him, and the other is a fellow member of this board.
Calm down, hoss.

This is my point; get some historical/textual context and argue for an oeuvre, not just the latest texts.
You've used the word opinion twice, yet don't seem to get what it means at all.
And stop being so aggressive toward people.
Some opinions are more valid than others; e.g., ones that deal with the entire complexity of an artist's work/career, and ones that look at a few texts. Are those opinions (interpretations) more valid? I think not.
Sure, but Sou Da is allowed to have his opinion, even if you disagree with it. No need to get aggressive with him.
Finished reading through Hungry Ghosts earlier today. Fun little collection of horror stories. The premise holding them together is that a group of rich patrons and a bunch of famous chefs sit down after a charity dinner and decide to play a game of Hyakumonogatari Kaidankai. Very cool set up and each of the artist for the stories told have come in with a great art style. Some of the 'adaptations' of the monsters work well and some don't but there are a couple of stand-out stories for sure.
And just for VanWinkle - A super well made HC btw, even though it is a regular trim size. Great paper quality and has a bookmark ribbon too!

Alan Moore's far from a hack, he's just a dick. I can't imagine stanning for him so hard you wind up insulting other people over it.
I mean I love Supreme and ABC--I think he's created some of the greatest comics of the past 30 years. And unlike the rest of the list MH rattled off, I think he's still capable of that level of work...he's just wasting time in a garbage genre.
Haven't posted any hauls in a couple months, so figured I'd post what I've gotten. The only thing that's missing from shit I've gotten is Tell Me, Dark which I bought back in September 27th and was supposed to get here 2 days ago but still no dice. Germany's shipping sucks, y'all.
The great irony with Moore is that as much as he hates the Big Two, he did some of his best work while working for DC. His work afterwards hasn't reached the same heights imo, though I would not go as far as to call him a hack. Didn't he switch to novels or something like Gaiman? Either that or become a Archwizard.
Mmm. I don't know that I can agree with this. What I've read of Swamp thing was good(just the first trade), but it's not Top Ten or Tom Strong. The ABC concept in general is brilliant to me, and its a testament to his absurd talents he was able to churn out so much quality work.

Woah those manga in that first pic look awesome. Didn't know they released them in such large volumes. How is Blade of the Immortal and Samurai Executioner? Are most of those still in print, aside from the lone wolf and cub?
Not accurate, but i don't see the fuss about him. I read 3 issues of Omega Men and 5 of Mister Miracle and...I dunno man. He just doesn't strike a chord with me. I respect his "I want to do 100 issues with Batman" though. More writers should have insane goals like that.
I just finished Lone Wolf and Cub, so I haven't gotten around to reading Blade of the Immortal and Samurai Executioner just yet. Blade of the Immortal is still in print and super easy to find, I got those volumes from Instocktrade. Samurai Executioner seems to be out of print but not TOO hard to find.
I got volume 3 and 4 from IST.

https://www.instocktrades.com/TP/Dark-Horse/SAMURAI-EXECUTIONER-OMNIBUS-TP-VOL-04-(MR)/OCT140140
And 1 and 2 from TFAW.

It seems I might have gotten their lost copy of 2, though. But they still got 1, 2 and 4.
You can easily get volume 2 from ebay right now with this being the cheapest:

Damn, didn't know Executioner was going OOP. -_- More money to spend.
Nice, I know next to nothing about them or I would pick them up before theyre gone. I might pull the trigger on those Trigun Omnis though lol.
What are those under the Blade of the Immortal omnis?
Looks like Goodnight Punpun.
My recommendation for the Koike series would be
Lone Wolf & Cub (GOAT) > Samurai Executioner > New Lone Wolf & Cub
OP
OP
Ive always heard amazing things about Lone Wolf & Cub, just never remember to check it out. Those are definitely OOP though right? Atleast the frist few omnis?
EDIT: actually it appears that IST has the first 4!
Those are Goodnight Punpun and at the very bottom it's 20th Century Boys.
The Trigun Omnibus are pretty as shit, however, Trigun 1 and Maximum 3 are pretty pricey. The first you find it at around $50 but I don't mind too much since I still have those they released in 2003 and then there's Maximum 3 which some dofus listed it at, like, $200 so now everywhere has it for insane prices. I've seen it listed at $2000 in some places, yes, with 3 zeros. Shit's dumb.
