Didn’t see your comics @mfadio. Just gave my 45yo collection to my nephew. (They weren’t all 45 yo, that’s just how long ago I started collecting seriously). Interested in your fav books. You strike me as more of a Betty than a Veronica type of guy.

All the comics I have read lately come from people that read 10x the amount I do, and I just skim the top off their recommendations.
My top three series (after Calvin and Hobbes and the Far Side):
Hawkeye: Hawkeye (2012 - 2015) | Comic Series | Marvel
Saga: Saga | Image Comics
Planetary: Planetary | Comic Book Series | Fandom
I also just gave my nephew a pile of books. I find my self rereading less as I get older, so am much more willing to move things along and clear out room for MOAR CRAP!

All great comics! I’m hoping they will do a Saga movie or tv show. I’m surprised it hasn’t happened already based on all the other less creative comic sources that they have used so far.
A couple favorites of mine are Preacher, Sandman, fear agent, and Sin City. Anything done by Tom King super hero wise too.
That Hawkeye is awesome and written by a great writer. Bro bro lol.

Most of my comics were from the 60s-80s with a little from the 90s mixed in.
Absolutely love Planetary, it’s probably my all time favorite series, closely followed by Grant Morrison’s run on JLA.
Warren Ellis who wrote Planetary has a lot of great titles including Global Frequency and Ocean as short runs.
Scott Snyder’s run on Batman was really good especially Court of Owls, but it feels to me like he’s gone from over the top to jumping the shark recently

Moebius is by far my favorite comic writer/artist. Under his own name (Jean Giraud) he made “Blueberry”, but I prefer his sci-fi work under the Moebius alias. He had the best way to draw I have seen.

I admit to being a fan of the underground comix of my day. Zap 1-4, Meef 1 & 2, S Clay Wilson - Captain Pissgums - Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers.
Long since lost all of them, Fat Freddie’s Cat, my fave.

I love talking comics, but we’ve hijacked the gear pics thread.
Created a new topic could one of the mods please move this?

Gordon, love your Rorschach.
Have you read Denny O’Neil’s Question?
Seminal reading for a comics fan.
There’s even an issue when The Question dreams he’s Rorschach (All The Watchmen are modeled after Carlton comics heroes and Rorschach is based on the Question).

I’m pretty smitten so far; it is shockingly good.
I almost pulled the trigger on a LTA amp last year but had been waiting for something to come out with balanced input. I’ve always been a SS Class A headphone listener before getting the VC’s and this is just perfect for me. I was running a Flux Lab FA-10 prior.

I’m pretty smitten so far; it is shockingly good. To be fair though, I have not heard many high end headphone tube amps and I should give it another few days before being critical.

My dealer/friend bought the demo from the 1st production run so I had to wait for the 2nd run, lol.

I love the look of that Macintosh amp too. Really cool how they kept it looking like there bigger brothers. Makes me think I wish Audio Research would do a headphone amp too!

It’s a pretty piece, especially with the tube cover removed.
I do wish they’d rotated it 90 degrees, however … so the tubes were front and center.
And it’d be more McIntosh if it had the “Blue-Vues” …
