What's been the best comic series this year, /co/?

>>87539341
Vision

Pic unrelated.

Not muh Flinstones.

>>87539341
Fleentstones has been fantastic but I wouldn't put it at the top of the list.

>>87539341
Personal favorite: Gwenpool

Objectively, probably Vision or Sheriff of Babylon.

>>87539381
well
what would you?
this is a praise thread

Superman Rebirth has been nothing but good so far. dunno if id call it best of the year, but it's up there.

>>87539341
Vision Family or Babylonian Sheriff.

>>87539442
>>87539413
How can people still type with King's cock so far down their throat. surely that blocks their eyes?

ROM.

>>87539605
He's a good writer without being overly pretentious.

>>87539605

>>87539605
I'd suck Tom's dick. He's pretty hot.

>>87539605
Damian is the absolute worst mary sue Robin, even Duke is a better character

>>87539341
Not according to sales

>>87539341
For DC, it's either Sheriff of Babylon or Flintstones.

For Image, it's The Fix though I'm also partial to Island' if only because it's nice to see a return of anthology books. Hype as fuck for Dustin Weaver's PAKLIS next year.

For Marvel, it's either The Vision or Gwenpool

For Valiant, I'd probably go with Archer and Armstrong, but Britannia and War Mother both had really strong starts.

Overall, it's hard to decide though. There were quite a few great comics this year from all publishers despite all the doom and gloom shitposting around here trying to convince people otherwise.

I'd have to say Vision or Flintstones. Flintstones felt so out of nowhere that I think it's earned its praise. I remember collective groaning when the Hanna-Barbera lineup was announced.

>>87539605
>Waaaaaaaah stop liking things i dont

Maybe stick to /tv/, kid. It's probably a bit more your speed.

>Civil War II is among the highest art in the modern comic medium.
What did you mean by this?

>>87539341
Sonic Mega Drive.
>>87539619
Shut up, Boco. ROM isn't even the best comic from IDW.

>All these Sheriffposters
Is it really all that? I haven't gotten the chance to read past the second issue (or whichever one ended with the cat eating corpses)

>>87539750

No, YOU shut up. ROM is amazing so far.

If I was suckin his dick, I'd probably say something crazy like that he can actually write action.

>>87539732
I think he was baiting anon alot of good comics aren't getting good sales like Vision, anyway wasen't Flintstones really populat with normies people are posting stuff in facebook at least they're know

>>87539827
I think you underestimate quite how stupid the /tv/ crossposters are. These are people who have convinced themselves that the greatest metric for judging a movie is how big their box office is, and they have no other point of reference when approaching comics so they just do the same thing here.

It's the same mentality that gets us people rampantly shitposting about how "literally who's" in comics are somehow a bad thing and everything should be nothing but A-listers. Obviously people who actually read comics beyond the most casual of levels know this isn't the case, but they don't read comics outside of skimming storytimes for shitpost material.

>>87539797
>Tf vs gi joe
Shit, I forgot that came out this year. Changing my answer to this.

>the greatest metric for judging a movie is how big their box office is
That has to be bait Kubo have horrible box office and is an amazing piece of animation, now movies about B or C characters are a risk for studios, but sometimes they can work really well specially if they make it like the comic even if it looks cheesy sometimes people actually like that

I tell people to buy the Flintstones fairly regularly. It's good shit.

>>87540008
Anon, you know that, and I know that, and most other non-retarded /co/mrades know that.

But /tv/ crossposters don't know that.

>>87539772
ROM is just okay. It isn't up to the standards of Micronauts or Action Man. So: shut up, Boco.

>>87539797
>Tf vs gi joe
Correct answer.

>>87540040
No one can be retarded enough to think that a movie that made a lot of money is automatically by that Adam Sandler movies are good, not anymore but that movies use to make money for some reason is like believing in rotten tomatoes or IMDB for animation quality

my favorite manga of the year

My favorites, in no particular order, have been Flintstones, Deathstroke, Vision, and Gwenpool.

Ms. Marvel turned to shit real fast once CWII tie-ins started.

>>87540268
yeah I dunno what's up with that in the urls lel

>>87539413
Vision was so close to being amazing, but it kinda fell flat on the very last issue. Almost felt like if King had one extra issue it would have been perfect. Still probably the best thing this year. Kinda makes you wonder what the fuck he's doing on Batman

Belief in humanity restored

>>87540787
It started in December of last year though, it's not like it had a whole arc completed already before 2016.

I'd say Mockingbird but its dumbass #misterybox issues were unreadable trash. I'd say Josie and the Pussycats but a mere two issues is nothing to base an award on - except by that logic no comic could ever possibly gain "best new comic of the year" awards if it doesn't debut before June.

So with that in mind I am reserving next year's award for Josie and the Pussycats, which means that the 2016 award for "best new comic" belongs squarel to Mia Goodwin's Tomboy.

>>87540900
For what it's worth I have not read a lot of Image this year, and I am also yet to check out Terry Moore's Motogirl, so it's possible next year's award will be taken from the Pussycats (more like definitely, it is a Terry Moore comic after all), but I firmly stand by this year's pick.

>>87540800
>>87540278
>>87539974
>>87539413
Is Gwenpool honestly worth the look?

>>87541468
It's okay. Better than the title warrants, and it's had some great issues, but I wouldn't even put it in my Marvel top 5.

>>87541542
>I wouldn't even put it in my Marvel top 5
damn, it must suck then

>>87539438
It's mediocre and nowhere near even DC's best(most of which would not be from rebirth)

>>87541468
pirate issue 1 and 2 and see if you like it.

>>87541468
It's way better than it has any right to be. Maybe not as great as its fans claim, but definitely one of Marvel's better books and worth checking out. Read the first couple issues and see for yourself.

Also Batroc is one of the main characters, and who doesn't love Batroc?

>tfw really liked the first issue of Superwoman but it immediately went to shit after
I'm still buying it because I'm an idiot who hopes it gets good again.

>>87541611
Nah, I just have higher opinions of some of Marvel's titles than most. Gwenpool's on par with or better than most of Rebirth.

>>87542386
you must have a terminal case of waifuism to actually believe that

Kill or be killed
Stray bullets
Deathstroke

>>87542411
Hate to break it to ya, but most of rebirth is pretty bad.

>>87542625
It's mediocre. Marvel is outright shit right now though.

>>87542625
It's not bad. Most of it's decent at worst. It's just... bland, really. There's not much that's ~really~ new or interesting being done.
SP&DW and Young Animal are by far the best things DC is doing.
Marvel, by contrast, is mostly shit, but their good books are actually vaguely innovative and doing interesting things.

>>87542723

>>87542756
Not him, but I really like how the hammer from the Ultimate universe ended up in 616 after Secret Wars, so Unworthy Thor is all about Thor trying to get that one while Jane is using the one from 616.

>>87542625
Nah. Even though I agree with the guys saying that it's resoundingly decent, your terminal waifuism is showing

>>87542813
You realize that's entirely so they can say "ODINSON HAS A HAMMER GAWD SHUT UP ALREADY" and keep Whor around right?

>Gwenpool was made for the tumblr audience
She pretty much has more fans on /co/ than anywhere else. We storytime almost any new comic, so people gave it a chance and saw that it was good, while lots of other sites just turned up their noses at the concept.

>>87542813
What the fuck's innovative about that?

>>87542847
I just thought it was a neat way to make use of parallel universes, especially a dead one.

>>87542756
>>87542764
Captain Hydra's exploring its villainous protagonist and Cap's relationship with the rest of the MU, Carnage is using the title character for a Lovecraftian horror story, Vision is a suburban tragedy, Ultimates is exploring the Marvel universe's cosmology, Foolkiller is a compelling character piece about a broken man, New Avengers and Contest of Champions are going out of their way to avoid retreading anything... you get the idea.
Most of Rebirth is just "this guy from prior to 1990 in all the same stories you liked him in before!" There's a lot I like about it, but on the whole... nah.

>>87542813
It's not the hammer from the Ultimate universe. It's a Secret Wars hammer made by God-Doom.

>>87542863
That only proves that /co/ sometimes has shit taste, and that your waifu bias trumps all reason when making decisions about comics and cartoons.

>>87542939
>Hydra Cap tweeest

Are you trying to ruse me?
>Vision building himself a family

>>87542972
They're doing new things with the characters, yes. I'm not going to keep trying to convince you because clearly we have entirely different ideas of what counts as being new.

>>87542939
That sounds as stupid as people who claim that Superman is innovative since he has a son now.

>>87542625
>most of rebirth is pretty bad.
Factually incorrect. Most of Rebirth is completely middle-of-the-road mediocrity. Not bad, not good, just OK.

Rebirth is basically DC applying the Jurgens' Law of Mediocrity to their entire line, meaning all of their bad books became decent but all of their good books fell to just being alright. Very little standouts one way or the other.

>>87542939
I only agree with Carnage since Vision is done now. Even Carnage is ending soon. The rest is cookie cutter Cape stuff.

>>87543004
Lovecraft shit and temporary status quo shake ups are not new things, Spencer.

>>87542939
>this is what Marvel shills actually believe
Face it, Marvel is finished.

>>87542962
Or that it's actually a good book, and you're hiding behind "w-waifufags" so you don't have to come to terms with the fact that you have shit taste.

>>87542939
>>87542939
>A Shakespearean tragedy starring a cold blooded assassin
>The whole Watchmen plot
>a political drama about a man trying to build relations between the earth walkers and the undersea world
>Batman and Wodner Woman trying to come to terms with the fact that their friends died and trying to trust this person from an alternate universe
>Superman in a fresh new role as a father
>Blue Beetle II and Blue Beetle III team up book
>Nightwing exploring his new role as a mole infiltrating the Court of Owls

See, I can make stuff look "new and innovative" too if I'm to lower myself to your level.

No? It's a book that pokes fun at the Marvel Universe and tropes of the genre, neither of which are things tumblr would care about since they don't read comics.

>>87539413

Not even deadpool could survive auch bastardization, and yet they do eveything but let kelly finish his story.

Also deadpool contemporary pairings are fuckig retarded.

>>87543119
>you like a comic with a female protagonist therefore you're a waifufag
Maybe stick to /tv/, kid. It's probably a bit more your speed.

>>87542962
I don't mind Gwenpool. I mean, she's an obvious wish fulfillment character, a copy of an existing character, and a possible self-insert, but at least she isn't replacing the real Deadpool. She could be worse.

>>87543149
so we're going to pretend all those "Gwenpool is a cute!! :D " threads never happened eh

>>87543149

Look a this man, look at him and laugh.

>>87543128

So you haven't actually read it? When in the entirety of the comic did it rely on non-sequitur humor?

>>87542939
>"this guy from prior to 1990 in all the same stories you liked him in before!"
This literally only applies to Superman and then even then it doesn't because they gave him a son
Cmon faggot

>>87543163
The existence of waifufags doesn't mean that anyone that likes the comic is a waifufag or that only waifufags could like the comic.

>>87540313
I liked the ending, but I agree that it felt a bit rushed.
I also thought that he was going to talk to Viv,and not his wife. But I suppose that King had other planes

>>87540313
Ending fell flat but no amount of extra issues would've helped. There were some very questionable decisions storywise and artificial drama made by King in that, the art was mediocre at best and because of his small success, King started insulting his readers by having characters or narration boxes spell out the obvious for you. I still like King but I hope he shakes of the bad habits he picked up here.

By that logic, Grayson was a shit comic that people only liked because they're husbandofags. Stop falling for the memes and learn to judge something by the property itself and not the fanbase.
