"There's never been storytelling quite like this. It took someone who views comics as an art to create it."---Washington Post


FROM THE PUBLISHER
This masterpiece of modern comics storytelling brings to vivid life a dark world and an even darker man. Together with inker Klaus Janson and colorist Lynn Varley, writer/artist Frank Miller completely reinvents the legend of Batman in his saga of a near-future Gotham City gone to rot, ten years after the Dark Knight's retirement.

Crime runs rampant in the streets, and the man who was Batman is still tortured by the memories of his parents' murders. As civil society crumbles around him, Bruce Wayne's long-suppressed vigilante side finally breaks free of its self-imposed shackles.

The Dark Knight returns in a blaze of fury, taking on a whole new generation of criminals and matching their level of violence. He is soon joined by this generation's Robin — a girl named Carrie Kelley, who proves to be just as invaluable as her predecessors,

But can Batman and Robin deal with the threat posed by their deadliest enemies, after years of incarceration have made them into perfect psychopaths? And more important, can anyone survive the coming fallout of an undeclared war between the superpowers — or a clash of what were once the world's greatest superheroes?

Over fifteen years after its debut, Batman: The Dark Knight Returns remains an undisputed classic and one of the most influential stories ever told in the comics medium.

Thanks to ONEz from ProjectW.org and vansky for these.

Yet another masterpiece by the team of writer Jeph Loeb and artist Tim Sale(Batman: A Long Halloween, Superman: For All Seasons, Hulk: Gray). When these two work together, magic happens.

This, in my opinion, is one of the most beautiful, and possibly THE most beautiful Daredevil story ever written. This TPB is about Matt Murdock remembering his humble beginnings as Daredevil, and his first love, Karen Page. By the way, the book is called Daredevil: Yellow because the original Daredevil actually had a mainly yellow costume, later changed to all red. Anyways, this book tells of DD's origins, his boxer father, his run-ins with several villians like the Owl and Electro, and of course, his love for Karen Page. With guest appearance by the Fantastic Four, just a short cameo appearance though. This story is so touching and beautiful, you'll find yourself reading it again and again. I, for one, read the book in one sitting. Jeph Loeb did a superb job here writing this masterpiece story.

Now let's not forget the beautiful art by Tim Sale. His art in here is soft and beatiful, and works so well with the touching storyline by Jeph Loeb. The illustrations really put you right there with Matt and Karen in the comic book.

A must-have, especially if you are a Daredevil fan, beautiful, touching, and definitely a masterpeice. Other Marvel books by this team of Jeph Loeb and Tim Sale are Spider-man: Blue, and Hulk: Gray, both are also beautiful and touching, just like DD: Yellow. If you like this, I suggest you get yourself the other two books. Enjoy!

Asterix and the falling sky

Book Description
The first new Asterix album for four years has been eagerly awaited by his millions of fans

Synopsis
The Gauls have only one fear: that the sky may fall on their heads tomorrow. But tomorrow never comes, says Chief Vitalstatistix. Or does it? It looks as if it's come at last for Asterix, Obelix and the other villagers. And some surprising new characters fall along with the sky. Our friends soon find themselves in the middle of a space race... This new Asterix story, the first in four years, is a brilliant and hilarious tale of misunderstandings that will be loved by his millions of fans around the world.

This book brilliant. Its is witty, sharp, full of childrens' and adults' humour. Traditionalists will find it difficult as Uderzo is not living in the past but trying to keep Asterix moving forward. With digs at Manga, Disney and G W Bush, this is hilarious in the same way Obelix and Co was.

The art as always is beautiful with real attention to detail. If anything, Uderzo is keeping up with modern Bande Dessine writing, the Continental Europeans will love this. Those brits who don't like change and growth then read the old adventures but if you like to see characters change and grow and develop then open your eyes, buy, read and enjoy!

Thanks to tonychu from ProjectW.org for this.

If you're going to buy a Superman book this month (or indeed ever), I recommend this one - even though (or perhaps because) it's not about Superman at all. It is, however about a boy called Clark Kent who grows up in Kansas and whose parents really weren't thinking when they christened him. All his life he's had to endure jibes about his name, and birthday and christmas presents focussing almost exclusively on the Superman theme, just because he shares the comic book character's name. It's not as if he has superstrength. He can't hear whispers several miles away. He can't fly. Or at least he couldn't. Then one night, much to Clark's teenage surprise, he finds he can.

So what you have here is a clean slate with someone whose powers echo Superman's, but who then has to navigate his way through a real-world context of education, careers and relationships, and a real-world context of the CIA and American military, who you just know would do anything to lay their hands on someone they would consider either an asset or a direct threat to their national and geopolitical interests.

Either/or. "There ain't no neutral ground". They cannot just leave him alone, they're constantly trying to track and trick him, but Clark doesn't want to end up their pawn, and cannot afford to endanger his family, and you really do spend most of the series anxious about the consequences.

There are some writers who really don't fare well in standard superhero comics, but who shine on their own pet projects, and Kurt is one of them. This harbours all the affection and thought that he pours into ASTRO CITY, and I think much of that has to do with the fact that if there's no continuity, no context other than that of his own choosing, and he's particularly interested in the perspective of
ordinary human beings when confronted with the extraordinary, which is where this succeeds. What do you tell your girlfriend/boyfriend/wife? And at what stage of the relationship? What, if anything, do you ever tell your family? How would any of these people react? And what would you do with your gifts? What would it actually be like, to suddenly discover you could fly?

Well, I think Immonen gives you a pretty fine description, visually, with some awesome midnight scenes above the Kansas countryside, and this is leagues above anything I've seen him submit before or since (please don't base your judgement on his recent ULTIMATE FANTASTIC FOUR art, which was vastly inferior to this). He's on colouring duty as well, and uses that to soften the forms, retaining as much pencil as possible.

(not my words)

In the ongoing (but now finite) comicbook series created by Alan Moore
and Chris Sprouse for America's Best Comics (ABC), Tom Strong is a
"science hero"; he was raised in a high-gravity chamber and given an
intensive education by his somewhat eccentric "mad scientist" father,
on the West Indian island of Attabar Teru. His upbringing, plus
ingesting a root used by the natives of the island for health and long
life, have made him nearly physically and mentally perfect. Though
born at the dawn of the 20th century, he only appears to be in his
forties as of the year 2000.

Strong has a wife, Dahlua, and a daughter, Tesla, both with enhanced
physical and mental abilities and longevity. He resides in a building
called the Stronghold in Millennium City. He is also assisted by
Pneuman, a steam powered robot, and King Solomon, a gorilla with human
characteristics. His greatest foe was tuxedo-clad "science villain"
Paul Saveen.

The character is partially based on the pulp hero Doc Savage, and
along with an upbringing taken from both Tarzan and Superman, an
attitude and knowledge (and hairstyle) reminiscent of Reed Richards
and Tom Mix, and a name that is a nod to Tom Swift, many cultural
threads are represented in this archtypically modern comic book
superhero. While the retro feel and nostalgia that is inherent in the
title/character have prompted comparisons with titles such as Astro
City and Planetary (given their shared inspirations).

As you know, I often post links from ProjectW. And it’s an absolutely wondeful forum.

For everything, really. Be it some games, music, movies, books or software… ProjectW probably has the best collection. And what especially matters is that the community is great too.

Its comics section is just too good. There is so much of it… such a big collection with so many choices, you’ll be overwhelmed. So I say this: why don’t you go ahead and check out their wonderful collection yourselves?

Here’s what you do to find the comics “section” of ProjectW. First, go and join the forum. Then click on SEARCH, type “comics” and do the search. And that’s it. The search results will give you all the recent topics on comics… just download away. But make sure you say thanks afterwards!

I’ll continue to post links from ProjectW at times. But if you like to download comics (what else are you here for anyway?), you should check out ProjectW’s comics collection… if not their entire forum itself!

Here's the link: Join ProjectW!

Magneto has lost the war against ordinary humans for which he sacrificed the well being of his children. Now he is forced to watch his daughter Wanda, thhe Scarlet witch, suffer a loss of control over both her powers and her grip on reality. Quicksilver, Wanda's brother Pietro, pleads with their estranged father to help her.

Mutant leader Charles Xavier, who is unable to help the Scarlet Witch, gathers the Avengers and the X-Men to decide how to proceed. The heroes are not convinced that killing Wanda is the only solution, so they travel to the mutant nation of Genosha to confront her, in the hope of discovering what she wants.

When they get to the island Wanda is missing, as are Magneto and Pietro.

Then the world burns to white.

The heroes awaken to discover that reality as they knew is gone...

http://rapidshare.de/files/8705438/New_Excalibur__01-Jan_2006.cbr.html

When faced with Nazi Germany's military advances, the U.S. government decided that the best weapon against them was a person, not a bomb. With this in mind Steve Rogers volunteered for a covert military experiment that turned him into Captain America.

After a few years of exemplary service, Captain America fell in battle -- his body wasn't recovered.
Years passed and Captain America was found frozen in suspended animation. When he awoke, he was convinced to join Iron Man, The Wasp, Giant Man, Black Widow, Hawkeye, and Thor in forming the superhuman defence intiative run by Nick Fury called THE ULTIMATES.

Thanks a lot to sampa1 from ProjectW.org for posting this on that forum.

Top 10 is a superhero comic book series published by the America's Best Comics imprint of DC comics. Written by Alan Moore and illustrated by Gene Ha and Zander Cannon, the series details the lives and work of the police force of Neopolis, a city in which everyone, from the police and criminals to civilians, children and even pets, has super-powers, colourful costumes and secret identities. Its deadpan tone allows it to range from farce and black humour to touching emotional scenes.

The series is noted for its meticulous attention to detail and dedication to the premise of millions of super-beings sharing a single city. For example, a caped street corner watch vendor seen in one panel uses a cardboard sign advertising "signal watches", and a hot dog vendor cooks his wares with heat vision. One plotline involves a boy-band called Sidekix whose hit single is called "Holy Broken Hearts". Likewise, all other advertising, signage and graffiti in the Top 10 universe contains references to the world of comic books and super powers, as does nearly every line of dialogue.

The story is littered with fantastic creatures and comic book references that add color to every situation, but the story at heart is still a cop tale, as the police track down murderers, drug runners, and gang bangers, and deal with their own demons. As bizarre as the citizens of the city may be, their basic human motivations, strengths, and weaknesses remain the same. The book also addresses a wide range of prejudices; monsters, robots, and fantasy creatures often face the bigotry faced by real-world human minorities. The series also addresses a range of sexual taboos, including homosexuality, pedophilia, bestiality, and human/robot, although it is never "adult" in content, and never depicts any acts more explicit than a kiss.

Thanks to Pilz for this.

Planetary are an organization billing themselves as "Archaeologists of the Impossible", tracking down the world's secret history. Funded by the mysterious Fourth Man, who it is said could be anyone from Bill Gates to Adolf Hitler, the field team consists of three superhumans: Jakita Wagner, who is strong, fast and nearly invulnerable; The Drummer, who can talk to computers; and the new recruit Elijah Snow, who can control temperature.

The series occurs in the Wildstorm Universe, along with other titles such as Stormwatch, The Authority and Gen13. For instance, Snow was born on January 1, 1900, as was Jenny Sparks of The Authority, and the two know each other. Despite this, Planetary intersects only a little with other Wildstorm series.

Planetary's field team travels the world investigating strange phenomena: monsters and other beings, unusual relics, other superhumans, and powerful secrets which certain individuals are trying to keep hidden from the rest of the world. Their purpose in doing this is partly curiosity, and partly to use what they learn for the betterment of mankind. There are, however, groups who oppose their goals, and the organization has a substantial history which is gradually revealed during the series.

In later issues the plot becomes increasingly related to The Four, analogues of Marvel's Fantastic Four whose goals run in direct contrast to that of the Planetary team.

One of the series' main hooks is that it portrays alternate versions of many well-known (and obscure) figures from popular culture. At various times we are shown versions (sometimes multiple versions) of John Constantine, Superman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, Nick Fury, the Justice League, the Fantastic Four, the Incredible Hulk, Godzilla, Sherlock Holmes, Doc Savage (as Doc Brass), Tarzan and other pulp fiction heroes. There is even a pastiche of the modern League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, not to mention Japanese monster movies, 1950s horror/science fiction movies, Hong Kong action movies and more. This provides a rich backdrop for the ongoing story, and is similar to Philip Jose Farmer's Wold Newton family.

(In general, the public domain characters such as Holmes appear as themselves, while those still under copyright appear in altered but recognizably similar form. In some regards the series is thus similar to the series The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen.)

The idea of the series is to create a concise world in which archetypes of superheroes, pulp fiction heroes, sci-fi heroes, and characters from just about every possible mass media format, live in one large universe while the Planetary team investigates them and ties together the ends. As Warren Ellis said in his proposal for the comic series: "[W]hat if you had a hundred years of superhero history just slowly leaking out into this young and modern superhero world of the Wildstorm Universe? What if you could take everything old and make it new again?"

The comic relies heavily on Cassaday's detailed and imaginative artwork and it features a variety of styles of cover with no consistent logo or layout. The mysteries Ellis sets up are what ultimately drive the book, as he gradually shows us the characters' relationships, their histories, and who the Fourth Man is.

In addition to the references to superheroes and literary figures, the mysteriously unnamed "Fourth Man" may be a reference to the unnamed "Fifth Man" from the Cambridge Five, whose identity was a hotly pursued mystery for some time.

Thanks to Julian Jair Téllez Morales for these.

The Sentry is one of the strangest comic book superheroes to emerge in recent years. He was created by Paul Jenkins and Jae Lee for the Marvel Comics Marvel Knights line.

The Sentry hoax
The Sentry was marketed with a hoax. Comic industry magazine Wizard reported that Marvel had discovered sketches by an unknown artist named Artie Rosen of a superhero created by Stan Lee immediately prior to the Fantastic Four. The Sentry miniseries was promoted as the first appearance of an unknown Stan Lee Silver Age hero. However, Marvel had made the whole thing up and Wizard had played along, for reasons revealed in the story.

The Sentry and the Marvel Universe
The miniseries established Bob Reynolds, a borderline alcoholic married man with possible psychotic delusions, as the Sentry, a Superman-like hero who derived his powers from a special serum. The Sentry was an optimistic and socially accepted hero who stood in marked contrast to the mostly freakish nature of Marvel characters. He had connections to Mister Fantastic, Iron Man, the Hulk, Spider-Man and Professor X. However, his existence was retroactively erased by an unknown figure who tried to conceal the Sentry's identity even from himself. This was also the reason that Lee and Marvel had supposedly forgotten about the character.

Continuing his exploration of superhero comics, Moore speculates on what would happen if an expansion in the number of people who are able to develop their desires into super powers led to the creation ofNeopolis. His world is populated by superbeings: people (and animals,space aliens, robots, etc.) who have extraordinary abilities and secret identities. Basic human nature leads to an urban society resembling today's, including the need to maintain law and order among thesometimes barely controllable super beings. Based on that premise, overlapping, intertwined stories create a kind of skewed Hill Street Blues for the cops of Top 10, the police station in Neopolis. Sometimes their cases work out farcically, but sometimes very seriously. Afterall, Moore asks, if you could do almost anything, what limits would you accept? What kind of responsibility would you take for others? Most comics series are intended to be endless, so nothing changes much from issue to issue. That's not so in this case; Book One is necessary reading before picking up Book Two. The art helps this purpose. Much of today's manga-influenced comics art is designed to convey excitement, using motion at the expense of detail. The artwork here reverts to an older tradition of elaborate pen and ink text illustration (like Joseph Clement Coll's work), slowing readers down just enough to make them alert to the elegant details of the world Moore has created. Anyone interested in comics should be paying attention to Moore and this outstanding example of his recent thinking.

This version of this black and white graphic novel is the same as the one posted earlier, but Vicariat collated it into a single cbr file with all the junk removed and with all 13 chapters and no password. It should be in a much more useful format for many people. The earlier version posted above with the passwords is not very easy to read.


Warning: this is mildly adult material (definetely not porn). But not for under 16.

BDcomics is worth $4,516.32!

Business Opportunities Weblog says that BDcomics is worth $4.5k. Yeah, right!

Anyone wants to buy the site? It'll be yours for just a quarter of that money!

Stupid technorati.


Anyway, I was thinking: the front page displays about 20 recent posts. Do you think I should increase that number a bit? (I'm not going to decrease it. Dial-up users: Just use an RSS aggregator like Thunderbird and you'll never have to visit the site again. It's very efficient. And I know. I use a fucking 3kbps net connection!)

Also, I'll say again, spread the word about the site. As you know quite often links to some quality comics appears on the site... And you don't want your friends to miss that, do you?

I'm looking for some kind of ad to put in the site. Something that will pay at least a few cents a month but will not ask you to shoot a monkey to win an iPod or offer creepy "next-gen" emoticons. Any suggestions? Google says it won't let me put AdSense on my site anymore. Stupid Google.

I'll also be trying from now on to make updates very regular from now on. Daily, if possible. So stay tuned, and enjoy! And if you do enjoy, say so in the comments or by email. I really appreciate that.
