looking for some good reccomendations

Blender

anybody know of a site for comics where you can put in some favorites authors or titles, and it will generate a list of things you would probably like?

I am out of things to read, and I dont have the $$$ to try things on a whim, and my local store is a joke.

Fav authors include Frank Miller, Warren Ellis, Garth Ennis, Matt Fraction...

Nogs

this is a pretty good recommendation list

also this question might be better suited in the questions thread here:

or any of the various other 'suggest/recommend a comic for me' threads on the board.

Superman's too powerful, so he's really boring, and Batman's more like a Marvel character, really.

20 minutes for this to degenerate into a Marvel vs. DC thread...

I do believe that's a record.

that's not what we're doing at all

thanks for the list, I've gone through about 80%. And yes, I have read way more marvel, but have liked some Vertigo and Image. I didn't know I could be pegged that quick, even on the batman thing.

I should rephrase my question; Is there any software or hosted website that can do this automatically for comic fans of any variety? A good example is Amazon, you can use it to find good graphic novel selections. I want something similar for singles.

I'm so dumb, -Im going to just check other retailers...

Wow I love how a thread like this is posted almost every week. Also what the fuck is wrong with liking Marvel. I dabble in all comics really but overall I really think marvel puts out better books. Really I just think it all comes back to Marvel being more half actual person (peter parker) and half superhero (spider-man) while DC (on average) focuses more on straight up superhero stuff. I really like DC so I'm not completely slamming it but all I hear on this forum is DC being sooooooo good and Marvel being shit. It's just getting fucking tiring. Especially from "Keith". I swear to god all I ever hear is DC this DC that Marvel sucks. Shut the fuck up who cares they both make good books.

Oh yeah well anyway it just seems like their is a lot of smack talk about marvel. Keith if you think that you don't do that then good for you.

Garlic Bread

oh, i do it

but i didn't in this thread

what i did in this thread was point out that every single "new comic reader" has the same exact tastes

they all come in saying how they're not really into DC except of course they love batman

Jordyn

"keith"

If that is your real name...

Maybe it is because of DCs obscene web of continuity makes it slightly difficult to just pick a new series and read it without having to spend half an hour on wikipedia afterwards trying to figure out what the hell you just read
