Comics Recommendation Megapost
In this thread, I (and others, if they so choose) recommend comics for you to read. Unfortunately, since most public torrent sites are now dead and the ones left standing don't focus on comics, I usually won't be including a torrent download link. However, I host about 25GB of comics on my fserv (located on irc.rizon.net channel #gotwoot after midnight central time, check the IRC thread if you're a newb) so if it's hosted by me I'll make note of it and you can get it from me then.
EDIT:
This is also for general discussion on the comics presented here, or comics in general. No manga, it has its own forum.
Also, I have gotten a tracker to use for comics uploads, when it comes online I'll torrent these comics.
I'll start with Kingdom Come.
Kingdom Come is set in the future of the DC Universe, in a world where most of the "old guard" of superheroes have long since given up their fights for good. Superman has retired, and the heroes of yesteryear followed him into obscurity. Now, with a new generation of metahuman hostilities threatening the world and with growing human resentment at the superhumans, a massive cataclysm strikes the U.S. and Superman, along with the other heroes of his day, must decide if they want to help avert global devestation.
But are their methods necessary at all anymore? Were they ever right in doing what they did?
Mark Waid's capable writing and Alex Ross' amazing artwork make this a classic. It's appreciated by both longtime DC fans and anyone who can appreciate a good moral drama. Don't brush it off just because it's a cape book - read it for the artwork alone and I'm sure you can appreciate the characters too. It's available on my file server.
