Im new to comic books, how exactly is this supposed to work out? Can I safely ignore 99% of them that exist? What are the best standalone stories?

Im mainly interested in Kino, not the usual capeshit where the only appeal is if youre fanboying the specific characters. Id consider the killing joke, watchmen and the dark knight returns kino- what else should I read?

Get out.
>>
>>85806103
1. Get over yourself on this kino bullshit
2. Runs with specific characters are still totally worth reading, and it also gives you a better understanding of those "kino" titles. Reading Books drawn by Steve Ditko, for instance, will let you appreciate the watchmen characters based on his work, as well as the grid panel structure that was so consistent in Ditko's work. Or perhaps you would read the Lee/Kirby run of the fantastic four to see the best of what the silver age had to offer.
3. That being said, independent titles are probably your cup of tea, in which case it's up to you to find the stories you find appealing and the art you like.
4. As far as keeping up, yeah you can ignore most books that come out. Read the ones you like and you'll figure it out eventually

the average cape story is absolute trash which is why singular stories like the killing joke are held in such high regard- I want to read good stories that dont take me hours of scourging through shitty money grabs that were made for neckbeards

The easiest way to get into cape comics are to just think of a character you like from movies/tv/whatever the fuck you've seen them in, and then read either their current ongoing, or just look up recommended readings. In my experience, while DC currently has way better books, Marvel's the best way to get into comics, because Marvel Unlimited is really good.

You've already been getting suggestions and you're stil harping on about cape shit. If you keep focusing on what you want to avoid, you will orient yourself directly at it.

- Concrete by Paul Chadwick
- Love and Rockets by Los Bros Hernandez
- A Contract With God by Wil Eisner

M8, he's asking how to get into capeshit. You don't introduce someone to capeshit through shit like Invincible.

>l-looking for great stories like Killing Joke, Watchmen, TDKR
>implying TKJ is that good

It's pretty good, but there's better stories, much better. If you're not interested in stories where certain characters are in them and "shit made for neckbeards" then maybe you should fuck off. Characters are just as important as the story, because it represents the mood and emotion of the story, along with the art. It's what descripting writing is to a novel.

I know you're not interested in investing time to getting familiarized with certain characters and knowing their pasts and shit, but if you disregard that, their way of being, how one of them would react in a situation, then maybe comics just aren't for you.

That being said, if you still want to read some, just look up writers.
>>
>>85806822
If he's interested in "kino" it's not capeshit.
>>
>>85806686
>why would I care about what he thinks?
You trust him to write a story, but not his ability to evaluate the finished product?

>Its painfully obvious he has "disowned" it because he thinks he is above superheroes now
In the first place, he's disowned it because he thinks the story is too slight and poorly told story. It is both of these things. The Brian Bolland art is the only thing that makes it work.

In the second place, it's a /co/ meme that Moore hates comics, and superhero comics in particular. He doesn't. He just isn't interested in working for DC or Marvel.

>>85806910
>You trust him to write a story, but not his ability to evaluate the finished product?
He's an artist, not a critic, and humans have always had a blind spot when it comes to self-evaluation.

Kurt Cobain thought Smells Like Teen Spirit was garbage. Anthony Burgess thinks Clockwork Orange is the worst thing he's ever written. Arthur Conan Doyle kept trying to kill Holmes off because he hated writing it so much. The list goes on and on

I asked for a source, why are you not posting a source? If he says it "everytime he's asked" then it should be easy for you to post a source.

What else has he clearly and explicitly disowned?

>He doesn't want to do anything with his non creator owned work.
What you need to understand is that he's fine with his old work, but he doesn't want anything to do with those publishers.

For example, he is still proud of Miracleman, but he asked Marvel to remove his name from it so that they wouldn't get free advertising from the market's "Alan Moore" brand recognition.

For example, he is still proud of Watchmen, but he wants nothing to do with what DC is trying to do to it.

If an artist isn't something of both, they'll be a lot of neither.

>Kurt Cobain thought Smells Like Teen Spirit was garbage.
It is.

>Anthony Burgess thinks Clockwork Orange is the worst thing he's ever written.
Harsh, but unsurprising coming from a man who wrote very little of note.

>Arthur Conan Doyle kept trying to kill Holmes off because he hated writing it so much.
Yes, and it shows in the work.

He straight up thinks they're cultural cancer
>>To my mind, this embracing of what were unambiguously children's characters at their mid-20th century inception seems to indicate a retreat from the admittedly overwhelming complexities of modern existence," he wrote to Ó Méalóid. "It looks to me very much like a significant section of the public, having given up on attempting to understand the reality they are actually living in, have instead reasoned that they might at least be able to comprehend the sprawling, meaningless, but at-least-still-finite 'universes' presented by DC or Marvel Comics. I would also observe that it is, potentially, culturally catastrophic to have the ephemera of a previous century squatting possessively on the cultural stage and refusing to allow this surely unprecedented era to develop a culture of its own, relevant and sufficient to its times.

>>I haven't read any superhero comics since I finished with Watchmen. I hate superheroes. I think they're abominations. They don't mean what they used to mean. They were originally in the hands of writers who would actively expand the imagination of their nine-to-13-year-old audience. That was completely what they were meant to do and they were doing it excellently. These days, superhero comics think the audience is certainly not nine to 13, it's nothing to do with them. It's an audience largely of 30-, 40-, 50-, 60-year old men, usually men.

This. The art is important, but not as much as the writing. Even as an artist, a comic can still be good even if the art isn't. Of course, the art can't be complete garbage, and yes, I've seen bad art in comics, but it's still better actul garbage.

It's like this, OP. Are you the kind of reader who believes that reading should be a labour first and a pleasure second? If the answer is Yes, then the bulk of comics are not for you. Your best bet is to consult a literary website that i) acknowledges that comics can be literary, ii) refers to literary comics as "graphic novels", and iii) publishes lists of recommended "graphic novels".

I disagree with All star superman on that list. While it does indeed show him as 'the best superman has ever been', and it's a blast to read, I've heard a lot of people who are new to superman or comics in general that there is too much new stuff here and they are not sure if this is supposed to be new and they just need to learn about it by reading, or if they simply don't have the background knowledge of superman. It would've benefited from being a longer series with more time to (re)introduce characters and settings. Right now it's a lovesong to superman, and a lot of people mention it as if it's a starting point to superman, but it's too dense for that.

Indeed, there's nothing wrong with it. And, in fact, I love that comic. Honestly, I do.

I just wouldn't put it on a list of non-pretentious comics.
>>
There are a lot of standalone stories that are very dope but the best standalone cape stories, even the ones not tied to existing characters, cannot be fully enjoyed without some prior knowledge of more general cape comics
Nobody is asking you to read the really mediocre runs, but comics are actually much larger than you think
Just keep finding writers you like, and read everything you can find by them
>>
>>85808468
Not that Anon, but I'm getting the impression that by "pretentious", you mean any comic with some kind of theme to it.
>>
OP you want to read by writer/artist and not by character/company/genre etc
Creators are important because execution is the thing of paramount importance, and creators have proof of their skill in executing concepts.
Everything besides execution is shit.

I will always resent All Star Superman, Watchmen and TDKR being included as entry level books.
They are culminations and celebrations (well maybe not watchmen as a celebration) of the charcaters and genre, they are only legitimately understood after reading a ton of Superhero comics, not as first stories. The only reason they get recommended as firsts is because they're really fucking good.
Like how can you have TDKR on this list and not Year One? TDKR is literally Y1's pair book, with tons of parallels and matching imagery.
>>
>>85808515
The theme is Chadwick pretending to be superior to the rest of us.
>>
>>85808640
Watchmen could be considered a celebration of the medium if not the genre
>>
>>85808590

Stop giving advice to that subhuman shitposting cuckold
>>
>>85807606
> Watchmen entry-level
I can't agree. It's a desconstruction of the medium, which just slides off you if you aren't already immersed in the medium. and All-Star Superman is, like someone else said, a celebration of the mythology, so again it just flouders without its context.
>>
>>85807606
I read All Star Superman as one of my first comics and didn't like it much. After revisiting it after reading it a lot more, I really loved it. I agree with the others, it is not entry level.

>I can't agree. It's a desconstruction of the medium, which just slides off you if you aren't already immersed in the medium.

I don't agree at all. Watchmen is a deconstruction of many things, including comics, but there is nothing so unique to comic books as a medium, industry, or collection of tropes that isn't inferred in a very transparent way by Moore such that any layman could understand both the thing itself and Moore's corresponding antithesis. Are there obscure corner cases? Of course. Are there just as obscure cases involving pop-culture and 20th century history? Yup. Watchmen is a great starting place for anyone with the will to finish it and understand it, which is only as difficult as you let it be.

I recommend the boys by Garth Ennis, specifically because it has a panel instructing what you should do.

Anon, I agree OP is a faggot, worse a pretentious faggot and most responses were bad.

That however, doesn't mean another bad response was needed.

When the entire board is falling for an extremely obvious troll, and not simply just reporting and hiding the thread, "fuck this board" is extremely appropriate.
