Tis the Season to Give (comics)

I’m giving my brother-in-law The Red Ten by Tyler James and Cesar Feliciano. Great read and as one who used to be really into comics, I think he’ll appreciate a copy of this in his Christmas stocking!

I’m also giving my nephew a Scooby Doo mystery comic. He’s an avid sports stud so I thought I’d give him something he isn’t expecting and get him excited about reading and comics. I’m looking for other suggestions for a 10 year old boy. Hoping to score a copy of #Epic by Tyler James and Matt Zolman.

Finally, I’m giving myself a copy of The Red Ten.

Why you should want to buy independent comics.

comixtribe — Sat, 17 Dec 2011 10:00:41 -0500

Why you should want to buy independent comics.:

The simple answer should be BECAUSE YOU WANT TO.

Now getting you to want to read them is a whole different story.

Years ago, when the characters that would later become the backbone of the comic book industry were being created, those creators shared an independently(as far as comics are concerned) minded spirit. They wanted to make great, rich characters that would inspire and entertain every reader that gave them the opportunity to do so. It’s fair to say that when you’re introducing something for the first time, and it’s something the world has never seen before AND it’s as great as Spider-man or the Hulk, it’s easier to make that first huge impact. In today’s comic book market, it’s a lot harder to get that same kind of audience reaction. But maybe it can happen. There are definitely more than enough quality independent comic books out there in your shops right now, people just need to gave them a chance.

For a while independent comics were thought of with a negative connotation, a lack of quality. Some people say because the books don’t have the budgets that other publishers do, that the finished product is sub par to everything else on the stands. Well if that’s what you want to hang your argument on, I’ve got the perfect solution- GO PICK UP ONE OF THESE INDEPENDENT BOOKS – The Walking Dead, Chew, Our Love is Real, Shinku, Echoes, Heart, Who is Jake Ellis, Madman, Irredeemable, Echo(Not a repeat just another great book with a similar name) Green Wake, The Sixth Gun, Pigs, The Nightly News, Casanova, WitchDoctor. Trust me I could keep going on and on with the list. But the truth is, if you picked up any one of those books, you would see the quality is just as good as in any big 2 published book. That’s a little bit of a lie, because actually, they’re better.

Titanium Rain

comixtribe — Sun, 04 Dec 2011 18:57:52 -0500

In the year 2031 mankind’s survival instinct is put to the test when a civil war in China spirals into global conflict. Nations are destroyed. Millions are killed. And for many, like US Air Force pilot Alec Killian, survival will mean shedding some of his humanity in exchange for biotech and machine.Is this the ultimate corruption of nature?
Or, the birth pains of a new chapter in mankind’s evolution?

This book is great for those who like William Gibson and Phillip K. Dick novels, Inception & HBO’s Generation Kill.

This book also has the distinction of being banned in China due to the subject matter.

At the ComixShare Project, we believe the current readership for comics is but a fraction of what it could be.

We also believe that WE have the power to grow the comics readership, and we can do it one reader at a time.

If you’re interested in helping spread the love of comics this holiday season, we invite you to Take the ComixShare Holiday Challenge!

With the holidays coming up, it’s the perfect time to share your love of Comic Books and Graphic Novels with non-comic readers. The challenge is simple:

Select three people on your holiday shopping list who aren’t currently readers of comics.

Carefully consider their current media consumption habits - What TV shows do they watch? What movies do they love? What video games do they play?

Buy one or more comics and/or graphic novels to give them as gifts this Holiday season. (It can be in addition to the Forever Lazy you were already planning on giving.)

Share what you bought, why, and for whom, here on the ComixShare blog, so others might find the perfect book for someone else they know.

Follow up in a month to find out whether the people you purchased books for enjoyed them, and whether they’re open to more suggestions. Share what you’ve found out here on ComixShare. Were you able to bring a new comics reader to the fold?

Need help finding the perfect book?

Follow the ComixShare blog for great recommendations from comic fans like you.

Title: Daytripper by Fabio Moon and Gabriel Ba

Publisher: Vertigo

Buy This Book For: Teens and adults interested in slice of life stories with serious depth.

Why It’s Great: This is probably the best graphic novel I’ve read all year. Beautiful, poignant, haunting…I can’t say enough good things about this title. It’s a true masterpiece, and is one of those books that elevates the art form of comic storytelling. It’s a must read, must buy, and must share.

Available: At Amazon and most fine comic book shops.

Publisher Blurb: DAYTRIPPER follows the life of one man, Bras de Olivias Dominguez. Every chapter features an important period in Bras’ life in exotic Brazil, and each story ends the same way: with his death. And then, the following story starts up at a different point in his life, oblivious to his death in the previous issue – and then also ends with him dying again. In every chapter, Bras dies at different moments in his life, as the story follows him through his entire existence – one filled with possibilities of happiness and sorrow, good and bad, love and loneliness. Each issue rediscovers the many varieties of daily life, in a story about living life to its fullest – because any of us can die at any moment.
