Last post by Trooper McFad - Today at 11:19:23 AMQuote from: Vector14 on Today at 12:32:00 AMI can see that Proteus Vex is good, and it's a top thrill for most people here but I'm not really getting into it. I haven't read any of the previous series so I don't know whats going on.I was the same when jumped in at "the shadow chancellor" then when it was collected with "another dawn" I got the digital version and everything made much more sense and now it's a story I look forward to when it's on a run.
Does the Another Dawn graphic novel cover everything up until now? I get the feeling it doesn't.
I'm currently at the same "lost" feeling with Brink!! I will get round to reading it as a continuous run and see if it all clicks

Last post by Vector14 - Today at 11:06:53 AMLooks like I'll just have to remain confused for now. Jake Lynch's art is fantastic on this so still plenty to enjoy.

Last post by IndigoPrime - Today at 10:52:18 AMFWIW, the Hachette book adds Desire Paths 2262–2274. So Crawlspace (2312–2324) And Devious (2375–ongoing) remain uncollected.

Last post by Barrington Boots - Today at 10:27:22 AMThis is great, looking forward to meeting you guys!
I'm definitely not going for a run though.

Last post by AlexF - Today at 10:16:17 AMI love that the icon box on the top left shows that the central characters here are an apeman, a spaceman, and the monolith itself.
I've read a handful of these issues and love them, they are super weird and beautiful. I'm not much of a Kirby guy but his slightly left-of-mainstream comics - including this and OMAC - really help paint him as not just the precursor of superhero comics, but also of pretentious arthouse (Sci-Fi) comics.

Last post by Colin YNWA - Today at 09:27:46 AMQuote from: Hawkmumbler on Today at 09:22:24 AMEvery year for about 5 years now I've been promising I'll make Lawless someday. Think it was about 2 years ago I promised myself I'd make it, if I wasn't able to do so sooner, to the 10th anniversary convention.
Initially I wrote it off, as the weekend in question is when I was supposed to be doing a van run to help my sister move into her temporary summer digs in Manchester before she starts Uni in September.
Turns out that's been delayed until the following weekend, so might sneak in a cheeky Saturday only trip.
See folks there!
oh that's fantastic news. Its been too long since we caught up Zac.
I'm much the same I've been meaning to get to Lawless for years now but for one reason or another never quite got to it. Having finally taken the plunge I'm now super excited. Hope this inspires me to get back to Thought Bubble as well after far too long. That's for after however...

Last post by davidbishop - Today at 08:49:39 AMQuote from: Funt Solo on 05 May, 2024, 06:37:51 PM...the return of the Soul Sisters. If there were awards for sound effects, then it might win with its ZAPPO, FLUTCH, KA-SPLUTCH, THONK, FAP, FLUTCH, FLUTCH, SKREEEEEE, PONK, FOK, KRRAAKK, CREEEEE! (Are sound effects always scripted, or done by the artist, or done by the letterer? It's probably a mixture, right?)
The sound effects in Soul Sisters were all scripted, most probably by Dave Stone. He writes some of the best SFX in comics,imho.

Last post by broodblik - Today at 08:18:17 AMLooks interesting, pity that it was never reprinted or collected. I originally watched 2001 I just disliked it today I think I am more "mature" and would most likely like it.

Where to find it
Unfortunately due to licensing issues around the rights to the movies these comics grew from this series has never been reprinted, unlike almost all of his other work. I'm not sure if this is likely to be sorted anytime soon if it hasn't by this point.
For this reason they aren't available digitally either it would seem.
Fortunately even though they have never been reprinted they are still available in the aftermarket and not at silly prices. Be patient however as folks will list these for far more than they would normally sell for. I picked up a full set for about £20 a few years ago. They have gone up a bit since, particularly issue 8 the first appearance of Machine Man. Even so if you wait you'll get a full set south of £40.
The original Treasury adaptation will go for that and more. Hence I've never picked it up, much as I'd love to. It is out there but be prepared to shell out for it if you do decide to buy it.

Obligatory Wikipedia page
Wired has a decent article about the comics and their relationship to Kubrick.
Peerless Power of Comics has a great page about the movie adaptation with some glorious images from the comic to blow your mind.
Most of the talk on the internet is about the movie adaptation. But good ol' Cartoonist Kayfabe has a great video that covers both that and then moves onto the ongoing series. Jim Rugg also thinks its one of Kirby's best works.
Norton of New York 2040 a.d. from issues 5 and 6 is put under the spotlight by Ryan C.'s Four Color Apocalypse. While Mars will send no more cheekily reproduces the whole of issue 1 for you to check out.
Finally Steve does comics has a look at my favourite issue 7. So there's stuff out there to explore if you nosey around.
What is all this?
Conscious that this is becoming a long thread and if you're wondering what the heck you've just read and can't be arsed (quite sensibly) to search back to find out I'll link to my opening posts that try to explain all this.
What this all came from
And of course a nerd won't do a list like this without setting 'Rules' / guidelines
Some thoughts on what will not be on the list.
