Can you guys recommend some comics or manga that you really like?

Akira, no need to explain

Habibi, it's a Graphic Novel but just the overall look and design of the pages is really nice

Abara, from the author or Blame (which I also recommend). Gritty style and very cool creature and environment design

The Silent Hill comics

Sky Doll

Shaun Tan'S The Arrival, another Graphic Novel but completely without words and each panel is a piece of art in itself imo

also speaking purely artistically, but the latest few chapters of d.gray-man have phenomenal art. hoshino really knows her fundamentals; anatomy, linework, perspective in figures, all of it.

Sun-ken rock - artist boichi the dude is japanese but draws it in korea so is it a manwha or a manga im not sure.
I fucking love the detail in his work, the artist is dedicated to research and working extra to make it better,
every now and then he posts stuff some ''behind the scenes'' stuff like where he went and what hid did to research parts of the manga.

He has downsides too, it has unnecessarily many panty shots and he can draw only a single female character, they all look the same with minor differences.

The story is revolves around a japanese dude who chased after a girl he likes to korea, somehow he ended up as a mob boss while the girl became a police officer.

Hillarious and well-written as well as hell of a comic visually.

Otoyomegatari. It's definitely one of the most beautiful manga out there, the author releases the chapters at a snails pace because of all the work that goes into every page. The story's breddy comfy too, takes place mostly in Central Asian villages about a century ago, the Persian Arc is my favorite though

Claymore.

>>2812037
I used to be amazed by Oyasumi Punpuns backgrounds.
Only later I found out that all of them are edited photographs.
Still worth checking out though.

>>2812244
Yeah i found out few weeks ago, even if he does edit the pictures after that it still not the same.
But there are some mangas that have insane backgrounds done by hand.

Heat manga (the one by the fist of the north star illustrator) because it's a great crime story.

Triage-X because it's like an 80's action film except in manga and because kewt grills hnnnnnnggghhh.

>>2812244
>edited photographs.
reeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Thanks for letting me know

>>2812244

>>2812282
So what if he uses photographs? I can understand thinking less of his drawing skills, but if you like the art what does it matter how it's made?

If you haven't already seen his Manben episode:

>>2812297
In my opinion it doesn't matter that much, its simple to do and looks good, but you do lose some respect for the artists for cutting corners.
Same reason why traditional paintings are more valued than digital paintings.
You could even say why draw at all, let's make computers that does that for us, it differs from person to person on where the line goes, some would say tracing photographs is ok, some say those people aren't artists.

Yeah saw that one, it's still enjoyable manga even with the knowledge of the backgrounds being photographs.

>>2812037
I've seen other work from this artist, who is it?

Artwise, Shinichi Sakamoto has gorgeous work. Kokou no Hito (not pictured) was a great read. This is from Innocent. Didn't keep me interested but the art was nice.

Vagabond gives me a boner in my heart, I got no idea whats currently going on with the release schedule though, I'd recommend giving it a go anyway just for the artwork.

>>2812408
This isn't a webcomic thread?

Shokugeki no Souma has clean line work, amazingly expressive renderings of the character's poses and a really nice variation of body types among its characters. 10/10 would recommend for reference

Woah, Jodorowsky's awesome, thanks for bringing this up I didn't know about it. It sounds kinda like another iteration of his failed Dune project, so I expect to see some Moebius + Giger influences in it.

>>2812914
Also the technopriests. Very, very much a bunch of ideas he wanted to use in dune/lifted from dune

I've skimmed through El Topo and Holy Mountain for the visuals. From what I've read about them, they're movies that require a bit of patience - lots of obfuscating symbolism, etc. Either way, they're on my watch list. As it is I like him for the scale of his ideas, and because he brings together a lot of the things/artists that I like.

The story is a masterpiece, the timing,the characters, everything is really good.
One could say that the art is a little dated but it evolve through the manga.

>>2812307
>but you do lose some respect for the artists for cutting corners

this is why a lot of people will never make it

"respect" and "honor" are meaningless when you are shit, and cant meet deadlines

there is no need to torture yourself. if cutting corners allows you to get the job done, then do it

Air Gear, Tenjou Tenge. Both are made by Oh!Great. He is shit at telling a story or atleast going past the opening. These are pure style over substance.

Berserk for obvious reasons
Yotsuba for the simple things in life
Fullmetal Alchemist, first complete manga with a good ending.

Comics:
Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck. Great story, Multiple things happening in panels, subtle jokes , the greatest adventures known to man.
Superman Kingdom Come, art and story combined.
Joker's Asylum, great shorts about different bad guys. Killer Croc's part I highly recommend.

>>2813633
Oh, please. Cutting corners is what amateur artists do. They'll never make it.

Keisuke Itagaki's Grappler Baki.

A lot of people on /ic/ like to bag on him for his over dramatized take on human anatomy, but he doesnt draw like that because he doesnt know any better. Something he always strives for is pure intensity and his ability to convey movement and energy is insane. Hes also really good at texturing and fabrics
