so a buddy recommends this book to me saying its up my alley.

>>91336262
I assume it's a false flag operation designed to drive the reader back to Marvel/DC.
Nothing else makes sense.

>>91336262
you are pretty boring and kind of stupid

Probably because it has its finger on the pulse of late 80s Americana.

I never got the appeal either and never finished the book which I wanted to do before watching the movie.

Because indiefags are tasteless cretins, the best indie comics can't even touch mid tier cape stuff

>>91336589
Eightball/Clowes in general is trash, he makes comics for people who don't like comics

>>91336589
is the movie any good or is it just pointless angst and growing up like the book?

>>91336610
what do you consider indie? anything that is not capes?

>>91336262
Because is a good coming of age story with good characters and a dark deadpan humour, personally i like other Clowes comics better, but it was a good comic.

>Eightball/Clowes in general is trash, he makes comics for people who don't like comics
Let me guess, by comics you mean cape comics.

>>91336732
it's shit.

It's probably hard to relate to if you never had friends or worried about what you would do in the future, sorry OP

>>91337233
i would figure it would be easier to relate to enid if i didn't have friends. as for the future thing your right but that's mostly due to having good high school and college advisers.

Why don't you go ask your "buddy"?

A fair number of highly praised comics, even "indie" ones, are honestly not very good. The secret is just reading what sounds interesting to you.

>>91337865
well he thought it funny and recommended it to me because i like love and rockets and thought they were similar. i personally do not see it.

>>91336651
I've honestly tried Clowes books before and just could never get into them.

>>91337903
I remember this guy at work loaning me a bunch of Saga books and telling me how great it is. It was shit.

>>91336262
The Movie is better

>>91337984
If you're gonna read a 90s fantagraphics book read hate by pete bagge

>>91338128
thanks i will check it out

>>91338166
its definitely humor focused, it is set in the 90s though so it does have some references to that but buddy bradley is a great main character and the whole supporting cast as well, it's also like love and rockets in that it's more focused on characters/relationships and there isn't some driving problem to the story that needs to be resolved but the characters do move away, grow up etc.

black hole is better

>>91338365

Black Hole is great, but Ghost World is really good too. It's just a story about how intense teenage friendships shape the person you end up being, despite their inevitable decay; a sweet, sad, sort of funny character piece.

Not like this

>>91336262
Closes is just overrated.

>>91336262
Because teenagers suck, and so do most realistic stories about them.
