panellogy 054 - best trades of 2014 #4 - science fiction comics

[@goncalovaranda2340]

Thank you so much for your videos!!!

[@sleepyreader666]

Super awesome list, full of books I have read and other books you now have me dying to read....always so sad that Storm has never been available over here....

[@ericcantwell5582]

Great first pick, and caught me a little by surprise!

[@CountMecha]

Been loving these top trades of 2014 videos. I'm a fan of Brandon Graham and James Stokoe, glad to see they've made your list. Other things like Lazaurs, Manhatten Projects, and Planet of the Apes I need to check out and catch up on.

[@earlgrey862]

Count Mecha Count Mecha thanks, this group of artists around Brandon Graham (James Stokoe, Simon Roy &...) makes comics that stand out in any case

[@elkornu8]

Awesome video buddy not familiar with most titles but I'm very curious about them now

[@etanick1]

The Wake peaks my interest for sure...thanks for sharing.

[@earlgrey862]

eta nick yupp, Sean Murphy is always worth it, I guess

[@earlgrey862]

earl grey and on a second guess: you do have Punkrock Jesus, don't you, because if not that should be the first choice for a b/w-afficionado like you

[@etanick1]

earl grey Punkrock Jesus does look interesting as well but the Wake just screams "buy me"...LOL

[@gffggdfsxfghtr7cggggry5s]

I am so glad to hear you mention Prophet and Lazarus, Fear Agent and Saga, such a great series. Have you encountered Federal Bureau of Physics, Black Science, Letter 44 or Think Tank?

[@earlgrey862]

FBP was one of the books that I didn't pick up because of ... don't know... reasons, that I can't pinpoint right now. Black Science: I've waited for the oversized HC, but it's glued binding and that's terrible for this art with all the double side panels, so I hope someday there will be a decent collected edition. Letter 44 - same as FBP, but I guess the art didn't turn me on too much. Think tank? think tank? can't remember a title of that title :/

[@gffggdfsxfghtr7cggggry5s]

+earl grey well hopefully you can get a hold of all those series in hardcover. I do believe you would like them greatly.

[@JaredOsborn]

Manhattan Projects, Lazarus, and Saga were the ones that I buy. I would never have guessed "Fear Agent" because I bought the individual issues as they came out and the series finished back in 2011. So to me it didn't come out this year. I loved the way "Fear Agent" re-invented itself every six issues of so.

[@earlgrey862]

Jared Osborn So we have this time a 4 out of 10, not bad Mr., not bad (again) :) as to Fear Agent: My lists encompass all kinds of trades that came out 2014 either for the first time or in a complete modified new edition. So same as Sin City on the crime book list Fear Agent made it on this list.

[@MattiasL85]

Loved this Panellogy. The top three are great picks. Lazarus is something I enjoy dearly. A game of thrones in the future:)

[@earlgrey862]

Mattias Lava That's a new comparison :)

[@Aztecface]

Very good choice for first place. Although I feel that there might be a few that you have missed. FBP: Federal Bureau of Physics, Letter 44 and Black Science(also by Rick Remender). If you have not, you should definatively check out Black Science first.

[@earlgrey862]

Aztecface I am glad that you've mentioned those books, they're all pretty good of what I 've heard, but unfortunately I've never read them. As to "Black Science": I am desperately hoping that they will publish an oversized hardcover, so I'm quite certain that it will end up on my top ten... from 2015.

[@Aztecface]

Yes... when the time comes I do hope to do so myself. Until then, don't forget that reading the trades and single issues is also possible digitally.

[@earlgrey862]

ah, digital reading isn't really my thing, but it's free (ähm, you know what I mean :) ) so that's a good thing.

[@Aztecface]

I use a service called Comixology, so for me, it's not free.

[@earlgrey862]

ahh, did I say something... cheers mate & good night, long live Ibrahimovic!

[@gamersheaven81]

hii there,always keep coming back to your panellogys,love to watch the love people have for this art form(like sleepy) I have no clue if you already read those,but for me this books were amazing: wednesday and solo deluxe from dc,light brigade from dark horse,butcher baker from image and best of all get yourself the final incal,it amazing.O and my grandpa wants his bike back,*)

[@earlgrey862]

gamersheaven81 never have heard of these books, except solo and the incal of course (even though it's the final incal arc I'm still missing). Thanks for the recommendations. Ah, you're a cheesehead I assume :) sorry about that bike, but my grandpa really needs it for his tank :/

[@WaveOne11]

STORM!! Have you bought the missing issues to your collection? What about Trigan Empire?

[@earlgrey862]

WaveOne11 yes, after a looong loooong time & then I did it all the way, the splitter-versions are printed so much better than the old ones, the Colors really pop. Hopefully they put out a reprint of the old Trigan-stuff as well... but until then I don't hunt the old Triganissues.

[@WaveOne11]

earl grey okey nice! Waiting for a new paneollogy on that one! What about the collectors edition on trigan empire? I believe those should have superior colouring...

[@Dragonknight761]

Comment #41 Is fear agent finished ? How many paperback volumes does it have ?

[@earlgrey862]

fear agent is concluded and in a very good way. I guess the series was collected in six paperbacks.

[@mehernoshtarapore8902]

read invisible republic by image comics Gabriel Hardman artist

[@earlgrey862]

I'll absolutely want to... but I've heard him in an interview mentioning the possibility of an hardcover edition in the future, so I'm hoping and waiting for that.

[@mehernoshtarapore8902]

3 volumes out so far it's planned for 50 issues run try drifter by nic kline image comics too
