 So as far as comic books goes Again, I broke down and this into Two sets of comic books categories the first one is Five comic comic book series that I finished like I've read every every issue Right and the second category is that 10 comic book series that I plan on finishing So I haven't even touched on some my individual standalone Comic books are or some of the minis Would be these are long Comic book series volumes, I guess you can call them. Okay So five comic book series that I finished that I think they're absolutely brilliant The first one would be trans metropolitan by Warren Ellis and Derek Robertson That came out it ran from 1997 to 2002 60 issues absolutely fantastic by Vertigo by DC Comics. Okay. Well, well worth the raid The second series comic book series that I finished that I think was one of the most The best comic book series I've ever read in my life Was the 2012 archer and our strong series by Fred van Lenten Clayton Henry It ran for 25 issues plus issue number zero and it's from valiant comics And it went from Iran from 2012 to 2014 Super super fun And I mentioned this before In one of the first videos I recreated for language or mathematics Which was five book recommendations and I recommended this as well as a break from all the science in the mathematics which is bone by Jeff Smith and He originally self-published this with cartoon books and then went to image and it ran for 55 issues from 1991 to 2004 And it's all compiled together in one thick book that you can Grab and read fantastic reading. I've read that at least two. I think three times now The second comic book It's not comic books, but comic book strips that I've read all of multiple times is Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson The cartoon is basically cartoon strips syndicated cartoon strip that ran from 1995 to 1995 90 in 1985 to 1995 and You know, they come in volumes and there's the Sunday specials and the strips and strips with the Sunday special Absolutely fantastic, right? and the fifth animated series and The comic book series that I've read Is a manga which is called Akira by Katsuhiro Otomo from 1992 and it was adapted into English in 1998 Fantastic fantastic manga fantastic comic book reveals like I read the manga the comic book Way later after watching Akira multiple times After watching the animation the movie After you've read the comic book, you're like wow like there's maybe a 10s 5 second segment 10 second segment in the animation. That's You know a whole volume in the manga, right? Multiple issues. So if you like the animation of the movie, you should definitely read the read the manga. It's Fantastic, right? So those are five comic book series that I've read that are absolutely magnificent and here's 10 comic book series That I plan on finishing that I've read With only one of these I've only read a little bit But for most of them, I've read a fair bit. I just haven't finished because there's so much of it, right? The first one is how blazer various artists various writers it ran for 300 issues From 1988 to 2013 and it's brilliant. It's one of my all-time favorite comic book series The Walking Dead by Kirkman Tony Moore and Charlie Adlard It started in 2003 and it ran for 155 well, it's at a hundred and fifty-five issues and I've only read 68 and I Start reading this because of a comment that was posted on the first video that I put out Giving comic book recommendations where I recommended blown by Jeff Smith and someone I believe it is posted a comment that sent me a Message personal message saying, you know, I should be reading The Walking Dead So I tracked down The Walking Dead and it was a period where I wasn't reading too many comic books And I started reading it and within a week and a half I read like it took me about four days to read ten issues and then I read the The rest of it which was like 50 58 issues in a matter of a week I was staying up until the middle of the night reading Walking Dead the cliffhangers were walking that are amazing You know, I will definitely finish off the series 100% I'm just waiting to do another binge read on it Preacher by Garthiness. I haven't finished it It ran for 66 issues, so I'm you know, I don't even know which parts I've read I think I've read I'm pretty sure I've read the beginning. I'm not actually sure anymore because I read a long time ago Savage sort of Conan I've read a ton of it. I haven't read all of it And it's got 235 issues in it, and I've read probably a hundred maybe Looking forward to reading the whole thing. It's my favorite comic book series of all time really for any genre This in Hellblazer top two And it's got multiple artists Roy Thompson. Yeah, Roy Thompson Was a main writer for a lot of them and the artists some of the ones that I've read that I've loved a lot the Ernie Ernie Chan Dick Jardon Jardano Barry Windsor Smith, obviously Bochima and Pablo Marcos. Those are some of the ones that I've really liked a lot Okay, and one thing I found that after just digging down some of this info for it Because Savage sort of Conan was not comic book format. It was magazine format It didn't have to abide by the comic book code So that's why I didn't know this. That's why it was a little always felt more intense than the rest of the stuff I was reading Okay, I plan on reading Saga by Brian vegan Vagan and Fiona Staples. I've only read I don't even have any read a full page full Comic yet. I've read pages from different Different issues, right? And I've heard it's amazing and a lot of people I've talked to that I respect their opinions They're asking me why I'm not reading it is because I didn't get on it right away And I have a lot on my table right now that I'm reading and at some point I'm gonna just sit down and do a walking dead on it and just binge reads You know 60 issues or something. I think it's at 35 issues right now Another series that I plan on reading Finishing and I've only read I think like three four. No, I've read more nuts. I Start picking these up at the library. I've read probably six or seven volumes on this which is lone wolf and cub by Kazoo Koki and Gossiki Kojima And I you know what the dates on this. I didn't realize it was this from 1970 to 1976. That's when the series These comics were put out. I didn't know this when I was reading at that lo-mo from cubs still being put out I guess The stuff that dark horse was doing was reprints or maybe some news stories. I don't know I'm gonna look into it more But fantastic what I read was absolutely amazing another series that I've so close to finishing but I didn't finish it so Because this one actually I was reading it from the library as well as going to my library So DMZ by Brian Wood and We're Borsilla Burceley Ricardo Burceley it ran from 2005 to 2012 75 issues. Oh, sorry. No 72 issues And a very fair bit of it. I haven't finished it Another one that I haven't finished Sandman by Neil Gaiman Not sure why I never finished that you go through periods, right? It ran from 1989 to 1996 and I'm you know, I don't think I've read the last third Ran for 75 issues I don't have to read from beginning again Sandman was pretty intricate. So I'll definitely be reading it as a binge read at some point doing a marathon on it 100 bullets by Brian Azarello and Brian Azarello was one of my favorite writers I try to pick up a lot from him He's definitely one of my favorite writers for the stuff he did on Hellblazer and right now He's doing an American monster for aftershock, which is fantastic. So 100 bullets by Brian Azarello and What do you call it? American monsters very reminiscent of 100 bullets And I ran for a hundred issues and I haven't read all of it. I've read maybe I think less than half And I've read a lot of why the last man by Brian Vagan and Pia Gura and it ran from 2002 to 2008 I've read a fair bit of it but I haven't finished it. I definitely want to finish it. It was a fun rate okay And that's That's sort of some of my favorites favorite list, I guess
