Any other good series flying under the radar? I'm in the market to beef up my pull list. Four Kids Walk Into a Bank has been excellent. It's a four issue mini-series and the fourth isn't out yet, probably be easiest to wait on the trade there. Real fun crime book, super humorous. Not sure if Black Monday Murders is under the radar, but I've been really enjoying it too. First trade of that came out recently, would be real easy to get caught up. The new Jeff Lemire series Royal City has been good so far, only two issues out for it. seasalt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KingTacoMunster Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 (edited) speaking of Jeff, I love black hammer and the latest issues cliffhanger, ugh... also, god country is probably my favorite new series in a loooong time.

I think it's good reading it issue to issue, it seems to give just enough to keep me anticipating the next one.

I have no idea how I didn't know that. Google just kept giving me a Teen Titans thing he did, so I assumed it was that. I'd say Royal City reminds me a bit of The Nobody a bit.

THE_James_Champ Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 I'm enjoying the book he and Snyder are doing together, After Death. His art is just so obscure, but beautiful. OneThreeOneTwo and randomfortunepa 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That and Underwater Welder are my fave of his OGN work (well, nothing touches Essex County but I actually grew up there for a spell so it's a different story for me). 9 hours ago, THE_James_Champ said: I'm enjoying the book he and Snyder are doing together, After Death.

I'm reading Descender regularly from him. If you haven't checked it out, he did a project with the lead singer of a favourite band here in Canada, The Tragically Hip. It's a great work called Secret Path and it's on YouTube too since it's a government-funded multimedia piece. THE_James_Champ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do think he's at his best when he's writing sci-fi though. Trillium is also brilliant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm getting close, I've been following the reading order here and I just finished the two Hellboy in Hell collections which puts me on ...#53 of 69 volumes listed I think? Plus the new stuff that'll be coming out this year. I can only bring myself to do collections for that stuff (or anything really any more.)

I think I only read those Hellboy Library Editions and a little bit of the Plague of Frogs BPRD before sort of giving up. I should do that someday myself.

dnl Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 Some of you were talking about Descender earlier this week. Would anyone be interested in this print: http://cadenceselect.bigcartel.com/product/descender-print-signed-by-jeff-lemire-version-2 I forgot I had it and found it in a poster tube.
