Finished the Walking Dead book 1 yesterday. It was certainly something. Can't wait to start the next book.

I will not let this thread die.

Complete book 1 of Ravine is available for free as a PDF. Haven't read much, but I love the artist behind it; so it's gotta be good.

Clicky here for the PDF

Crossed by Avatar Press has to be one of my favorite comics. It's by far the most graphically violent thing I've ever seen but the stories are really well written. Pretty much everything by Avatar Press looks really good.

i have a bunch of captain marvel comics that i grabbed at comiccon a year or two ago, too. i even have a fantastic four book signed by stan lee
though right now, i'm reading the knights of the old republic comics. they're really worth the read if you're even relatively interested in star wars

This thread made me want to buy some comics so I did. I bought Crossed:Dead or Alive #1 & #2 both with the art deco cover that looks pretty cool. I also bought Crossed: 100+ #1-4 with the New World Order cover which should be pretty cool.

How similar is The Wolf Among Us to the comics? The game had a really good story so I imagine the comics also had a pretty solid one.

The game is a prequel to the comics. More importantly, the comics are MUCH darker, but there's a lot of really cool subplots that are hinted at in the game, such as one of the princesses being a secret agent, as well as the fate of a certain character who doesn't appear in Episode 5.

If you enjoy the game and you like reading comics, then Fables is perfect, and it's also an awesome starting point for anybody new to comics. That's at least what my Game Design teach said, and she's read more comics than I could fit in my house.
