Ruins looks like something I'd probably like🤔With Judge Dreadd I recommend checking those single stories they have printed separately as they tend to actually be the better ones though Cursed Earth hasn't aged that well, I think. In Finland they handpicked the best stories(read: mostly Bolland) and published in album format. I regret selling them and will probably try to get them back at some point.

Thanks for the advice! They have done the same here with the essentials line of Dredd comics, but I kinda wanted to experience the growth of the character for better or worse too.

Finally caught the rest 😂 Thanks for sharing your discoveries and love the enthusiasm as always :') I agree about used sellers on auction-site being hit and miss. Sometimes they'll have listings for something as good/verygood and I'm always suspicious as to whether their pickers will actually pay attention they're picked&packed the right one 😂 I will however give a shout out to, um, fast-chicken, and advise that if you see any book for them on auction-site or South-American-River marked as 'Good', just grab it straight away! Always the smallest of blemishes for a cracking price. [I'm being extra careful with other site names as I mentioned SA-river earlier in the chat and it promptly disappeared, as YT gets touchy 😂]

Ohh if you fancy more 2000ad I can't recommend some recent stuff to get a favour of what its become. For me Brink, The Out and Lawless all by Dan Abnett are some of the very best genre comics out there, in 2000ad or anywhere. Thistlebone is a stunning folk horror. I'd strongly recommend trying modern 2000ad as folks can spend too much time wallowing on how good the past was, but its as strong, indeed stronger under Rebellion than its ever been.

Great video. I've added Ruins to my 'To buy' list. Anyway you've made ya call and all good BUT (well it was always coming wasn't it) when it comes to Dredd don't get distracted by Case Files 1 as its very much a developing series in the beginning. Case Files 2 has two wonderful early stories but pretty atypical. Have to say 3 is good early stuff which gives you the feel for stories and 5 has a classic epic but truth be told there is better stuff than the early stuff. If you get into things The Essential is a better way to go I'd suggest (life long 2000ad fan for context) but obviously folks will find their own way into the stories

!!It's Omnibuses!! I didn't know what the plural is actually - so I never tried to use one.🙃 I did suspect it had to be the same as bus/buses. Scalped is a good story. It feels more like a book than a comic book having that lingering mid-part. And in a way it drags the reader into that hopeless and empty existence the people on this reservation live. Always a good idea to get more Blacksad. I have the 1st album of Tardi POW series in my TBR-pile. Didn't know there was a collected set available. I'm sure they released it two minutes after I did my order. They always do that. T.H.E.Y. is an evil organization bringing new comic book sets to market to make me feel constant FOMO. I'm beginning to suspect you're part of that organization...
@OffMyShelves 9 күн бұрын
T.H.E.Y do hate you. But don’t worry I think you are ok. Exactly how I felt about scalped in a sentence there. That lull in the mid point was absolutely pointlessness personified. I’m hoping reading it in one chunk as opposed to 10 trade will changes up things a bit.

Delights was the first Guy Colwell comic in many years, but he was a fairly well known name in underground comix back in the day. His five-issue series, "Inner City Romance", published by Last Gasp was really leaps ahead of most with respect to its criticism of the prison industrial complex and the war on drugs. Social issues are the core of most of Colwell's comics, and it was interesting to see him find an angle to include some of it into a fictional story about Hieronymus Bosch.

@@OffMyShelves I really hear what you are saying. I am constantly struggling with that balance! On one hand the "need" for all those things you mention makes each video that much more effort- and time consuming. At the same time, I like the difference they (usually) make, and I also like learning about them. But then I don't actually want to do them! 😁 A lighter type of video is definitely a great idea, relaxing more is ALWAYS a great idea, and I am going to see if I can learn something from you. I think you'll keep playing with the widescreen to find angles/compositions you like more and more. It makes for a nice variation and is something I am trying from time to time as well. But I have to say that as much as I like the vibrance and contrast of the colours here, I also liked the more low-contrast, muted-colours look you had in your earlier videos. It gave your videos a particular look and unique identity. But most of all I just appreciate the trying out of new and interesting stuff when you could just have stuck to one thing.
