Comics/Superheroes/Manga
I am a pretty big comics fan. Mostly independent stuff. Some of my old favorites are: Preacher, Sandman, Transmetropolitan, Hellblazer. And zombies. I heart zombie stories. :headbang:
I can't do much superhero stuff. I just can't. The closest thing I can take is Batman. I think because he's just a normal guy for the most part. I don't like the whole 'faster than a speeding bullet/web-slinging/genetic mutant' thing.
Anyways, I've been told by more than a few people that I should get into some Manga stuff. Someone once recommended that I read Sanctuary. I went to finally check that out, and was told that it's out of print. Crappers. So the guy at the comic shop said that I might like Crying Freeman and if I didn't, I could return it and throw it in his face.
Anyone else enjoy that one? I thought that the first book was pretty good. Are the others good as well?
Any other recommendations for more gangster/mafia style Manga?
Not looking for "super-strength/hero" styles.
Thanks much.
BATTLE ROYALE is top notch! it´s violent and there are not superpowers involved on that one.
Is about a group of students that have to kill each other on a deserted island. Like lost but with blood everywhere. It´s everybody against everybody. Pretty cool. Great characters and god dialogues too. It´s based on a novel and the´res a movie about it too. And the drawings are not you tipical manga stuff at all.
Another good manga im enjoying is DAYDREAM this one is more X files feeling. Really atmospheric. There are some supernatural stuff tough.
I was reading BLOODRAYNE, but it seems pretty boring to me. Too much sex and violence without a good motive.. it just seem ...dull
I agree with the superpowers stuff being boring. I don´t like that at all on a comic book. I prefer it on movies.
