Paranoia had a sick as hell comic if you can find it.

Pretty much 2000 ADs comics

He's literally an adventurer minmaxer. He's incredibly /tg/.

>>48853359
Yep. The enemies could have wised up and actually made the fights interesting, the main character could have been likable, the politics of the situation could've been explored and the fantasy world girls could've been more than just harem waifu fodder.

But no, it had to be chest-thumping jingoism.
'Look at the JSDF, we totally kick ass!'
Yeah, that's easy when you've got guns and the enemy only has swords.

And seriously, how can you make a fight between a helicopter gunship and a fucking DRAGON boring?

/sos/core coming up

COMICS
Garth Ennis is a hack but The Boys was really good.
Alan Moore is a hack but The Killing Joke was really good.
Moorcock is great and the Elric series is really good.

MANGOS
Shigurui: Edo Period Japanese Duelist Schools fuck with each other. One of the darkest, most horrifying and most beautiful comics ever. Intentionally grotesque to an absurd degree, captures a totally different side of Premodern Japan.

Koukoku no Shugosha: Set in fantastical 1850s (you don't see that often) the Not!Russians invade Not!Japan, and a small force of Japanese soldiers are forced to fight a running retreat to escape their clutches. Also they have saber tooth tigers for some reason. Pretty sick comic, very dark, also a surprisingly balanced perspective between the Japs and the Slavs.

Gunka no Baltazar: Althistory about a Prussian helping some barely post-medieval shithole in Germany modernize its abysmally primitive army. Contains some pretty amazing historical facts as well as a very cool depiction of 19th century militaria. Mangaka is clearly a Bismarkaboo, the best of all types of Germaniboos.

Berserk: God-Tier manga about a PC chasing another PC and killing six trillion monsters on his way to do it. Cannot be explained, do not watch the show, read the mango.

BOOKS
Stormlight Archives: Two books out, more coming. Fucking epic worldbuilding and sick magic systems, good characters, the main plotline of the first book is perhaps the best transition from soul-crushing despair to pure win in recent fantasy history.

Malazan, Book of the Fallen: First book is garbage, way too many plotlines, nothing is ever explained, etc. The entire series is justified by Deadhouse Gates because of how good the Chain of Dogs plotline is.

David Gemmell: The man who single handedly brought Sword & Sorcery back into profitability through the sheer size of bis balls, read Legend and Waylander, see if you like them. Not a great writer, but fun.

That should last you a while.

if your looking for some good cyberpunk then go with the sprawl trilogy starting with necromancer. /srg/ has the entire series in the pastebin

>>48854208
I didn't mind Rat Queens.
It was kinda funny.

>>48853359
>>48853739
not that anon but I too was disappointed by Gate. I was hoping for an awesome modern tech vs fantasy military/political manga and what I got was a harem manga.

i could even let some of the jap propaganda go i myself am a huge fan of murrica fuck yeah! if it wasn't so damn ham fisted and stupid at times. like when the loli deathgod(who bugs me more so than usual for some reason, maybe its just the uber OP OC doughnut steel god thing she's supposed to be) solos 4 squads of spec ops who were sent to kidnap/invite the hero's to visit the other country's.

it just sucks because the series had the potential to be good

While the hero journeys to rescue her she's passes time vandalizing the demon lord's castle.
Very comfy.

>>48858145
>Garth Ennis is a hack
Agreed.
>but The Boys was really good
It was fucking terrible but for some reason I read all the way through it. I have no idea if I'd recommend it.

>Alan Moore is a hack
Disagree, but he is inescapably up his own ass at this point.
>The Killing Joke was really good
Not really /tg/ and honestly I thought it was pretty weak compared to his other stuff.

>>48858145
>Gunka no Balthazar
Mah nigga

>>48860034
I was too busy shitting on Garth Ennis to bother recommending anything.

Sandman by Neil Gaimen was really good, even if the art occasionally shits the bed. American Gods is very similar and also really good.

The DnD comic is surprisingly good. Unfortunately it was axed before it wrapped up satisfactorily.

Some decent stuff in here, I would add
Stand Still Stay Silent, which is probably the best webcomic going right now.

>>48860144
>The DnD comic is surprisingly good.
Specifically, the one that came out around 4th, Fell's Five.

Pathfinder's pretty fun.

Not quite as good as DnD's Fell's Five but it's decidedly less cancelled and just finished it's fifth arc

anybody got any good french sci fi and/or fantasy?

You can always spot a pleb by their opinion on Garth Ennis. If they think he's trash, that's a plebian. If they only know him from the Boys, that's a plebian. If they think the Boys was better than Hitman, that's a plebian.

Be informed and be aware.

And read Fury: My War Gone By

yeah Neuromancer, sorry about that its late and iv got necromancers on the brain.

was also going to suggest the fells five, shame it was canceled.

the shadows of the vampire comic is pretty good so far, granted its only up to issue three but im enjoying it.

well since we got a topic up I figure Ill ask here

Remember a while back someone or someones made a /TG/ viewing chart? There was one for anime at the very least I remember. If you could post that Id appreciate it

Within the first couple of pages he is fucking a and killing a demon at the same time. How is that a promise for low fantasy? Even the anime is high fantasy in the first episode. Are you retarded?

>>48856500

>Berserk told me it was going to be low fantasy

The FIRST CHAPTER has a succubus and a fairy. When did it tell you it would be low fantasy?

>>48852540
Don Quixote is surprisingly excellent material for a band of murderhobos.

The Worm Ouroboros is required reading for /tg/ high fantasy.

Alamut is excellent inspiration for fantasy villains.

Trigun is a pretty good showcase of how to do sandbox games well.

Spice and Wolf is a shitty anime/manga/LN series about basic economics and a stereotypical aguuu~ waifu and I love it.

Welcome to the NHK is mandatory reading if you want to understand your fellow players.

Low fantasy can have succubus and fairies.

Also iirc after that it was a huge magical dry spell full of "real world" shit.
