Comic and graphic novels

Where should I start with Shakara? Looks amazing. Any omnibus?

[Pedrito]

Just bought Shakara The Assassin..the artwork looks incredible from what I'm seeing online.

More great 2000AD stuff is Nemesis The Warlock, Sam Slade Robo Hunter, and Skizz (done by Alan Moore).

[Pedrito]

My bank account about to take a serious bashing. Skizz looks great, had never even heard of it.

That's the one, 'Shakara the avenger', finally got a start on it, it's bizarre but a treat visually.

Been on a 2000AD rediscovery kick recently. So far I got Judge Dredd vol. 5 (in the 'case files' series), which is great but I have seen that there are almost 40 something 'case files' titles, where to next?
I also got 'Shakara' which I haven't delved into yet, 'Future Shocks' (awesome), 'Missionary Man' (weird, ultra violent future western stuff, great!) and getting some 'Rogue Trooper' arriving soon.

Judge Dredd the Apocalypse War is about as good as comics get. I think it's number 5 in the series but a quick google should confirm that. Well worth it. I really enjoyed Judgement on Gotham with him and Batman too. These lads do a breakdown on everything 2000AD. Eager to get my hands on more of this stuff.

Rogue Trooper, Strontium Dog, Nemesis, ABC Warriors - all gold. Brigand Doom was pretty cool, Harry 20 On The High Rock was alright.

The main reason I got vol. 5 in the case files was for 'The Apocalypse War' but there are so many other volumes, some by Grant Morrison which I have never read even though I have plenty of his other work lying around. Will look at that Dredd video for other recommendations.

Got the first volume of Rogue Trooper today finally so looking forward to getting stuck into that.

So many interesting 2000AD titles out there, 'Flesh' looks good (recommended?) and there is also 'Judge Anderson' (speaking of the Dredd case files).

[Pedrito]

Volume 2 is pretty much one storyline called the Cursed Earth. Not nearly as epic as Apocalypse War but a good yarn nonetheless. The video is very good though.

Excellent video recorded back on the 10th anniversary of 2000AD including Alan Moore among others. Really goes into a fascinating and highly sophisticated thought process behind the whole operation that I can't help feel reflected a really well educated generation that had come up at the time in Britain that ranged across the class divides many of whom found their outlet in media, music, culture. When you think of the music that used be on the TV in the early 80's, the comics, the TV programmes, yes there was plenty of shite, but so much unique and individually interesting stuff being created.

The softcopy of vol 5is actually free right now to help those stuck indoors. Hope this link works:

Nice!

I read the Dredd series America, which was very cool, online.

Following that I read Endgame which is just absolutely incredible. Takes up 3 books as far as I know and it's all.about a virus being released by the Sovs into the Mega Cities. I was reading it as Coronavirus was taking off in the media and the parallels are unnerving..had me a bit jumpy at times around the gaff  Couldn't recommend it enough though.

Morrison also wrote a few of the 'Future Shock'  stories, compiled in the 'Thargs Best of Future Shocks' compilation.  Have quite a few Grant Morrison books. 'Arkham Asylum' (bizarre), 'We3' (really heartwarming), 'St. Swithin's Day' (Controversial on release), 'Seaguy' (surreal as hell), 'Kill Your Boyfriend' (insane and rare), and, of course, 'The Invisibles' (all volumes- if you haven't read it ). Any favourite Grant Morrison titles beyond those?

[Nail_Bombed]

Invisibles was great for sure, also his run on Doom Patrol. The Filth was a twelve issue series with some of the same themes as Invisibles,  but more screwed up.

I'm not a reader of comics but I have been looking out for a copy of Jerusalem by Alan Moore as I think he's a fascinating, hilarious and intelligent character. Has it actually been released yet? Has anyone here read it?
