my favorite thing is monsters - emil ferris
all lisa hanawalt comics make me cry laughing
some classics that are classics for a reason : all-star superman, dark knight returns, new frontier, watchmen
idk how many longer storylines you’re willing to get into (if any) but invincible is the greatest superhero comic of all time from beginning to end, the ed brubaker captain america stuff is amazing, y the last man, scalped, the miles morales ultimate spider-man stuff, the alan moore miracleman.
that‘s a ton but those comics all changed my life and i love them deeply!

I freaking love reading comics, both physically and digitally (shoutout to the Marvel Unlimited app), and collecting my favorites. Some of the best series I’ve read are Ultimate Spider-Man by Brian Michael Bendis and Secret Six by Gail Simone. -Martin

i've been a comic book collector on and off since i was 16. i think that there's no greater high than finding a genuinely wonderful comic book. i've been on hold since the summer to pursue other hobbies but i will be back. gonna rec marvel bc i'm most consistently satisfied with their output but. just go to a shop. pick up the coolest cover you can find. ask the cashier about it. read good comics. read bad comics. read superhero comics. read non-cape comics. read independent comics. read comics from a big shared universe. read a heart-wrenching indie book you've never heard of before. just read em! photo is assorted pics from my unread pile.

my husband and i have a white board on the fridge where we keep a list going of twenty movies that we want to watch. when it's time to watch a movie we roll a twenty-sided die and watch whatever number it is. then we alternate filling the spot we emptied. it's complex but it's eliminated hours worth of discussions about what we should watch.
