Oh course! I’ve got a handful of best of / year end wrap up videos I’m trying to push before end of year! Stay tuned! Also, any favorite non-big 2 comics you’ve read this year? 📚📚📚
Hey there it is! Finished Eight Billion Genies (beautiful, loved it), started on Radiant Black. Figured if I'm going to REALLY read comics I'll have to shake off some of my bias against superhero stories. Enjoying it, Image Comics seems to have a lot of interesting stuff. Thanks for these recommendations too!
If you liked Thundercats, I think you will really enjoy the new Space Ghost collection from Dynamite...written by David Pepose and art by Jonathan Lau.
Indie Comics are where the best talent can be found! This year, my favorite was Dawn Runner from Dark Horse. Absolutely amazing! Incredible art! 💯🌟✨️🏆✏️✒️🖌🎨👍
It's a giant robot pilot fighting giant monsters from another dimension. The twist is that they are using a mind meld tech, and the pilot gets "absorbed" into the robot. There's a lot more to it. It's great! The art is by Evan Cagle, and it's incredible. You have to check it out! 💯🌟✨️🏆@@TheComicBookReport
Here's my Top 10 (All are first time reads): 1. Something is Killing The Children by James Tynion IV and Werther Dell'Edera 2. Transformers by Daniel Warren Johnson 3.

Beneath the Trees Where Nobody Sees by Patrick Horvath
@@tristanmaldonado670 ok I've seen love everlasting advertised and I'm curious about it, but I've never talked to anyone who has read it. It sounds like you enjoyed it, but what made it a standout for you?
@@TheComicBookReport Think of it as classic romance scenarios mixed with groundhog day. It's what I got the vibe of when I was reading it for the first time and it was very fun
I'm definitely interested in getting Thundercats because I loved the 2011 reboot, and Rouge Sun because I like the Massive-verse, and Geiger because everyone says it's great, so I want to read it for myself.
@@gloydorangeboar3136 I’d definitely be curious on your thoughts when you have a chance to read them! I have reviewed that volume of Rogue Sun, along with Gieger on my channel. And, I hope to drop a review for Thundercats in the coming weeks!
Descender and Rook Exodus are my favorite. Also enjoyed Parliament of the Rooks, Stumptown, Black Sight, The Cull, Sacrificers, Kill your darlings, Gumma, Big Game, Duke, Last Mermaid and Low
I’ve read the first handful of issues of Descender and enjoyed! Also read the first issue of Rook Exodus and thought it was spectacular, just waiting for the collected edition ha. I was curious about Stumptown. Good?
@@TheComicBookReportI was really impressed by both Hellboy and Fear Agent. I am a horror fan so I loved the Hellboy stories and Mignola’s artwork is so unique and fitting. I got that enormous omni at a great price; one of the best buy’s of the year. The Crooked Man isn’t in the Monster sized but I n awsome and scary tpb to start with.
I loved Eight Billion Genies so much! My LCS had an event when the series ended with the artist but I hadn’t read it at the time. I read the collected edition and really regretted missing it because of how incredible it was
@@Criner05 I recognize that, I made a mention in the introduction of the video noting that these books were collections I read in 2024, not always books released in 2024. But, thank you for the point of clarity. You are correct
Im curious...since you give a disclaimer at the beginning of the video saying that you are aware you are using the term "indie" entirely wrong, what is the reason you titled it this way? Do videos more accurately titled "non-Big 2" or "creator-owned" not perform as well with the algorithm?
@@HarveyPekarsGhost to be honest I still personally see indie as anything non big-2. That’s the way my brain organizes comics for whatever reason. I’ve had discussions with many in comments over the years about this point, and I certainly understand the arguments for what makes something indie/independent. I had the disclaimer at the beginning to try to steer around some of the comments I may get, and yeah I do think indie looks a bit cleaner on a title/thumbnail than non-big-2 🤷🏻♂️😂
@TheComicBookReport I've become a HUGE fan in a short time. He's in my top spot this year & 2 of my top 3 reads of 2022 were DWJ (WW:Dead Earth & Murder Falcon)

@ It's good. Kind of crime mystery with nothing special but done very well.
Monster sized Hellboy, Fear Agent, Geiger, Junkyard Joe, Gi Joe by Hama and everything in the Energon universe.
@@benupc I’ve been really curious about Fear Agent! And I’ve only read an issue or two of Hellboy. Worthwhile?

@@ttrain85 oh wow! Yeah I did love that book and the art was gorgeous, I felt it really fit the subject matter as well
Hope we get a Nocterra Hardcover
I really hope we do too! Especially now that the first run is done
Eight Billion Genies (including the hardcover) came out in 2023.

You're missing Redcoat (better than Geiger), Nottingham, and Space Ghost .
@@rosswilson8917 I’m just waiting for redcoat to get a collected edition! I can’t wait.
I don’t know much about Nottingham.
Favorite read of 2024:
Daniel Warren Johnson's EXTREMITY.
@@mikehailer9353 I really need to check out DWJ!
