/a/ is going to sage your thread into oblivion. I'm calling it now.

And post reasons why /a/ should read it.

Alright. Have 'em read Spider-Man Loves Mary Jane.

If it turned /co/ into little girls, I want to see what it does to /a/.

uh...
Uhm...
We3?

This is an interesting experiment

I say the first arc of Invincible up until Mark's dad leaves Earth

>>5799345
I'm going to sage this RIGHT NOW!!!

So, hat in the ring: Nextwave? Quirky humor, you don't have to know the characters, short arcs keep it simple.

sage

/a/ needs to read Maximum Carnage, because it's a great 90s Spiderman story.

Here's the link:

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=9M4QMLK7

All Star Superman.

As superhero stuff tends to turn /a/ off...

I honestly think Hellboy/BPRD would appeal to a lot of people, it's just a plain excellent pulp horror-adventure comic.

Fables is another really excellent comic, as evidenced by the fact it gets recommended so much here.

Last one: DMZ, it falls into the genre of "Post-Apocalyptic" without the general tropes of a nuclear wasteland and desert mutants.

>>5799380

Oh! I change >>5799358 and second Nextwave.

That comic was fucking awesome, and hilarious.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say deadpool.

He's funny, anime fans like funny right?

>>5799401
More like All Star GAY GUY. We hate Superman over at /a/.

>>5799400
We may check it out.

What about the New Warriors reality tv arc? 6 issues long, fairly standalone. Great humor, different art style.

Cable and Deadpool, you can get issues off any public torrent tracker or /rs/.

>>5799401

I think what makes All-Star Supes/Bats fun is either knowing the character or, in the case of Bats, knowing the writer. Probably not a good recommendation.

Birds Of Prey, Gail Simone. They MIGHT like it.

Put in my vote for Elephantmen.

>>5799400

Seconding this.

Lots of action, some gore, good art, I think /a/ would really like it.

>>5799433
>More like All Star GAY GUY. We hate Superman over at /a/.

That's why you should read it. I've seen people who actively hate Superman being converted by it.

Hellboy was what brought me out of my retarded weaboo stage, so that's what I'm nominating.

What about trying to suggest Alternative and indie comics to /a/, have a feeling they would like Flight.

BIG HERO SIX

>>5799478
Me to, seconded.

>>5799477

just saying All Star Supes was my first Superman story, now I've bought both versions of Superman: The Greatest Stories Ever Told and have Action Comics on my pull list

Hellboy 1-5

>>5799400
come on guys, you know the best choice for /a/ to read would be Maximum Carnage

As much as I love Spider-Man Loves Mary Jane, I get the feeling that the pseudo-manga nature of it might rub /a/ the wrong way. Like watching someone almost getting something you love right.

Hey, what about Blankets?

>>5799513

No, that is a terrible idea and you should feel bad.

*I* can barely make it through Maximum Carnage. And I'm a HARDCORE Spidey fan.

I would recomend Hellboy, seems /a/ style

Here's a good start with DMZ:
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=QSFW9L6U
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=3M8DSAPK

fuck it, have 'em read Punisher MAX.

Alright, /co/. /a/ has decided on Maximum Carnage.

We decided for the comic to recommend to you will be Inuyasha Ani-Manga Volume 1.

Download link is on the way.

>>5799577

MOTHERFUCKERS

Ignore these faggots with Maximum Carnage. Eugh.

>>5799588

go to /a/ i think he's lying

>>5799577

People haven't decided on jack. The threads just started. Official start threads are tomorrow morning. And guy up above is right, Maximum Carnage isn't exactly the best starting place for western comics.

>>5799577
Oh FUCK you.

>>5799577

>>5799498
Thirdificated

OP here. Let's tripcode it up to keep people from driving the concept into oblivion. Let's see if I've got this right.

>>5799577
You're a terrible ambassador.

>>5799478

I'll fourth Hellboy.

>>5799464
this

>>5799625
no thank you.

Runaways v1
Six normal teenagers realize their parents aren't as normal as they thought. Not exactly capes but firmly set in the Marvel U. Art that should be right in /a/'s wheelhouse and that gets better over time.

Invincible
This book has it all! Bloody action! Unrequited love! Best friend drama! Probably the best superhero comic in the universe!

Bone
Black and white fantasy adventure that's cute as hell! Masterful sequential storytelling. I don't think it's on /rs/ and I don't actually have it, but everyone should read it.

>>5799577
Fuck that, /co/ is gonna read Kamen Rider Spirits.

>>5799637

I agree with this Anon

>>5799637

Except that Runaways is terrible later on, it just doesn't hold up.

>>5799652
all 18 issues of v1 are awesome.

>>5799599

Maximum Carnage isn't the best anything.

>>5799482
that's a great idea. Flight is /a/ in western format.

Some of the best recommendations so far seem to be Runaways v1, Nextwave, New Warriors (the reality TV bit) and, honestly, Fables. The two that have standard capes - Next and New - tend to focus on non-cape stuff.

>Flight is /a/ in western format.

That might be the problem though.

>>5799638
I would actually like to read that. I've always loved those character designs

MY VOTE GOES FOR MAXIMUM CARNAGE!!!

ALTHOUGH I MAY BE A LITTLE PARTIAL!! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

>>5799698

I still think Invincible because its a good cape book but at the same time still somewhat uncapey

>>5799638

>>5799698
> blah blah blah blah....

fucking assfucks from /a/ go home.

Immortal Iron Fist
Livewires
Thor

>>5799725
For one thing, the main character doesn't wear a cape!

>>5799725
A great deal of what makes Invincible awesome, though, is seeing traditional comics tropes done well for the first time in a long time. It's like Astro City: you can enjoy it without knowing comics, but knowing them makes the books fantastic.

>>5799698
Nextwave is straight up capes action. But it's a satire.

>>5799724
Oh Red Venom, you so crazy.

Fables
Hellboy
We3
Preacher

Everything you said here, is made of pure shit.

FUCK YEAR

I vote for Invincible

Okay, /co/. /a/'s official selection is Naruto. Reasons: good character development, good balance between seriousness and light heartedness, and it's very compelling otherwise.

>>5799839

No...no it isn't.

>>5799839
you may be trolling, but it actually starts out pretty good and goes steadily downhill.
I still read it because I'm hooked.
I'm a terrible person.

>>5799860
The tripfag declared it.

I'm going to have to suggest Invincible, since it's great.

They probably won't like it because they'll try to read it from right to left and it won't make sense.

>>5799839

Dude, you just put the Trip Code in the name field.

What kind of fantastic moron ARE you?

>>5799871
You read cause your into shota you fucking liar.

If we send them Fables, what's a good point to read up to? It's somewhere in the 70s now, isn't it?

Hellboy, motherfuckers. DO IT.

How about The Goon? Cool art, humorous, over-the-top punching things, and zombies.

>>5799889
why the FUCK would we send them fables???

This fucker is just a god damn troll. I'm going over to /a/ and start a thread about how /co/ wants to do a trade, give them the watchmen or the invisibles and take back Duel and Tenchi.

>>5799878

I'm typically anonymous. I only even tried doing the tripcode thing because someone decided to give /co/ a minor stroke by telling them /a/ was sending Inuyasha.

>>5799881
it's "you're." and Sakura is the most attractive of the bunch. Sorry, I actually kind of like it. it's not a masterpiece, but it's a fun, stupid read.

OP here. Naruto is going to be the title for you guys. For /a/, they're getting Maximum Carnage, which is already on /rs/.

>>5799953

>>5799913
what the hell are you talking about you ARE GAY! you say so ALL THE TIME and you are stupid you also say that all the time. And you like NOTHING but shota. And this is why you like naruto. Cause in the first fucking episode they got homo-erotic naruto sauske kissing.

HEY BRO IT'S ME AGAIN, CARNAGE! I FOUND THIS COOL COMIC YOU SHOULD CHECK OUT!

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=9m4qmlk7

>>5799953
You're a fucking idiot. Never try this shit again. I will rape your mother.

is the OP dense? Fables got maybe 3 nods. Not insulting it but hellboy and invincible got more support.
Don't ask for /co/'s opinion if your not going to take it.

>>5799982

I'll add a vote for Elephantmen.

I hate to say this, but I'm adding a vote AGAINST NextWave. Consider that we are recommending these not just to non-comic fans, but to people who are generally going to hate the comic-y in-jokes we enjoy. Think about the arcs:
1) (re)introduce the characters; they fight a retarded dragon (Fin Fang Foom clone... god I hope it's a clone).
2) a bad cop turns into a metal-eating robot, and they beat it. Honestly, /a/ will either see this as hold hat, "quaint", or insulting
3) Mudmen with laservision dance around and kill people. (It's funny if you know what the mindless ones are normally. If this is the first time you've seen them, it would be miscontrued as normal behavior, in which case they seem retarded.
4) They fight broccoli-clone versions of appeared-all-of-once gimmick villains, and the Not Brand Echh! Avengers. Comic in-joke
5) Big fight where they take on SILENT/Beyond Corp. The BBEGs are a baby MODOK, and Devil Dinosaur. Funny, but just weird if you have no idea who those guys are.

It's funny and weird, but I think most of the funny would get lost in translation, leaving confusing and weird for an /a/nimaniac*.

*On a side note, what do the denizen's of /a/ call themselves?

Also, maybe Sandman?

most of /a/ seems to recommend Vinland Saga, Hellsing, and Naussicca

>>5800004
He's a troll with more thought in his post than most trolls see around these backwater parts.

/a/ is for faggots like you, op, fuck off.

>>5800026
How about The Troll by Mr. Troll drawn by T. Roll??? Maybe that will satisfy you're constant TROLLING!!!!

>>5800026
why don't the mods ban these insufferable fucktards???

>>5800050

I find it sad that /co/ has more of these posts than the /a/ thread does.

What happened to us, /co/? We used to be better than this.

>>5800057
Tarence Roll is a fucking hack. He draws as badly as his cousin Rick writes.

>>5800004

Fuck me. Thought I put Hellboy in there.

>>5800073
OP is retarded this is why. Don' blame us, it's all because OP is a retard.

>>5800073
/b/troll

Unlike normal trolls, they try to make bad /b/ehavior look acceptable, tempting us all to acts of assholery.

>>5800082
It is my duty, and everyone on /co/ who fights for truth and justice to SAGE the fuck out of this guy's thread and everything he ever posts again.

Trolls are out in force. Let's try and wrap this up. Fables or Hellboy?

all of the comics in this thread have no artistic merit, try harder (pic related)

>>5800103
Hellboy.

/a/ is deciding between Monster and Naruto.

>>5800103

HELLBOY! Because I haven't read Fables. So maybe my opinion isn't the best one.

>>5800103
>I am a troll and this was fun.

Read this.

>>>/a/14670643

/a/ is going for Hellsing.Monster/Vinland Saga/20th Century Boys.

Personally I like their suggestions. Haven't read Hellsing yet though.

Well, this has worked out fantastically, hasn't it?

>>5800128

I hope it's Vinland Saga. It's got vikings and I've always wanted to read it.

geez, calm down /co/. You're Raging like /v/. /co/ is love so let's try to enlighten /a/ with what we have to offer.
Also, please be mindful of the trolls. They are lonely and desperate for attention.

>>5800042

How could you miss Monster? That's our big ticket item.

>>5800128
I caught a few episodes of the anime. A friend of mine loves it. It doesn't do much for me though.

Also, why is it that when you add vampires into the mix, the Catholic church suddenly becomes a global power with a standing army again? Seriously, vampires a need a better class of natural enemy.

>>5800160
If we don't end up sending them Monster, I'll be very disappointed.
You'll like Monster, guys.
It's good stuff.

Fuck it. We should just go with we3. Good story. Decent art. Reasonable depth.

Ah, come on pal. /a/ will LOVE me. I promise ya that!

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=9M4QMLK7
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=9M4QMLK7

At the moment, I'm thinking /co/ should trade them Hellboy for Hellsing. Make it a themed thing. Do something similar next week.

>>5799482
is there a rapidshit for this? I just looked but nothing came up

The Maxx has the kind of vague mindfuckery animu fans love, doesn't it?

>>5800166

Everyone agreed that the anime sucked, and the manga and OVA are far better. Although it had better music.

I vote We3, it's got a good story, animals in battle suits and it's short

>>5800076
Oh you.

Okay. Let's just end this. /co/: Hellsing. Apparently it's just about over. Here's the files.
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=iolqklmj
They're getting Hellboy.

/co/ should just read/watch kamen rider. they're like heroes with motorcycles

>>5800289
I can live with that :3

>>5800292
Again, Cap has a motorcycle, a van, and a shield. Fuck Kamen Rider.

/a/ says you should like Naruto, because Naruto is just like Wolverine.

Alright, sure, whatever.

LET'S DO THIS THING!

Anyone got rapidshit for Maximum Carnage?

You know, I don't know if /a/ will read anything we send them. While most people in the /a/ thread are giving a lot of good suggestions, I wonder how many of them are really interested in reading what /co/ recommends.

I'm checking out Monster though; so far it seems interesting.

>>5800384

I'm sure some, maybe even a lot of them, won't. The threads are for the people interested in the whole idea of it. Same with /co/.

/a/sshole here downloading hellboy but this flight interests me. Is there a link for it or do I have to buy it

If you like gore and vampires and nazis then go with Hellsing. If you like vikings and manliness then go with Vinland Saga. If you want compelling, mature drama and mystery and an actual completed story then go with Monster or 20th Century Boys.

>>5800292
I'm reading Kamen Rider Spirits now.
I JUST GREW AN EXTRA SET OF TESTICLES.
IT IS MORE AWESOME THAN THIS.

>>5800384
/a/ will give up when they download a cbr file and don't know what the fuck it is.

Empowered, because you know they'll eat that shit up.

Someone post the decided books so I can go on with my life please.

>>5800418
Newsflash: /a/ uses CDisplay for manga too.

LIES AND MORE LIES

>>5800384
/a/er here.

I like the Firefly/Serenity comics. They're only short, so nothing too epic you have to slog through, and they're funny. So from one /a/ to all you others, go forth and read! (Though come to think of it, you might not get it unless you see the series... but that's only 14 episodes...)

I suggest get them started on some Marvel Ultimate Universe. Famous characters they know to ease them into it, not too much to catch up on. X-Men has gone downhill a bit now that they've switched writers, but Spiderman's having a good run (and The Ultimates is supposed to be spectacular...?)

Or V for Vendetta and Sin City. They're always good.

I know I'm just mentioning the ones that everyone's heard of or already read, but there's usually a reason why that's the case.

>>5800433

Hellsing, see above for links.

>>5800446

And... buggery, I posted in the wrong thread. Just ignore me.

>>5800416
whoops. here is image.

>>5800446
>Femanon
sage

I think next week we'll start off with a theme, like Comedy or Mystery, right off the bat. Help keep things focused.

>>5800508
The 'F' is for 'Fabulous'.

>>5800446
First, do you have links to the Firefly/Serenity comics? Every time I try to download them, it ends up being that six-issue Christian manga. And that's really starting to piss me off.

(Of course, now that I've said that, I can pretty much guarantee that someone will post that instead....)

>>5800535
>I plan on trolling /co/ forever

What he really said. And it will be MONTHS before /co/ wises up about it.

>>5800567
You know, if you don't like it, you could just ignore this thread. At least it's not one of those horrible, "how does this make you feel" threads.

>>5800560
I'll upload it for you - I'm missing 'The Other Half' and 'A Shepherd's Tale', though. I only have 'Better Days' and 'Those Left Behind'.

Don't listen to the naruto recommenders. If you're going to read a fighting manga that never ends it has to be one piece.

As for comics, I haven't read many. I can just recommend the staple Watchmen and, for any Buffy/Angel fans Astonishing X-Men because Joss Whedon did it and it just bleeds his style.

>>5800601
Thanks!

Go with Impulse, it's turned plenty of manga lovers in its time.

An /a/sshole here. I have a feeling that you guys will like Hellsing; it has vampires, Nazis, and Nazi vampires in it.

>>5800646
If you're a Buffy/Angel fan, just read Buffy Season 8.
>>5800653
No prob - but it's gonna take a while. Rapidshare says it's gonna take an hour.

>>5800664

and these are the good kind of vampires right?

Hellsing is crap. Enjoy your bad hot topic vampire manga shit.

>>5800646

>If you're going to read a fighting manga that never ends it has to be one piece.

Hajime no Ippo, dumbass.

>>5800692

Cry more plz

>>5800692
lies
pic gives you a good idea what to expect from hellsing

>>5800981
Hellsing is basically Hellboy, if Hellboy were shitty.

>>5800995
Well, I'll find out soon enough since I'm from /a/ and a hardcore Hellsing fan who hasn't yet read Hellboy. Saw the movie, it was alright.
Hellsing was directly inspired by Hellboy, so I can't outright say Hellsing is better, even if it is.

>>5800692
>>5800995

pic accurately depicts the results of this event

I would like to propose that we recommend Supreme Power.

>>5801049

>Hellsing was directly inspired by Hellboy, so I can't outright say Hellsing is better, even if it is.

And nothing to do with Bram Stoker's Dracula, nope, not a thing, nuh-uh.

hellsing is good if you're thirteen years old

>>5800289

>>5799333
>3) Let's try and avoid the ultra-long series for now.

Way to go.

Y: The Last Man

My god, this thread still here?!

Sage

>>5801147

Chapters, not Volumes.

>>5801102
Depends. Talking about the book, or the movie? Because most of the Dracula canon of Hellsing comes from the movie, more than the book.
But Hellboy was one of Hirano's big inspirations. It's kind of obvious, really.

>>5801118
Go read Monster if you prefer something intellectual and realistic. I just figured that the board that worships Avatar doesn't really deserve something that high quality.

>>5801147
93 manga chapters is like 20 regular comic chapters. There's barely any text and like 4-5 frames per page.

Especially Hellsing, which doesn't care for storyline and character development, only gore and vampires to attract goth kids.

Well fuck off and read Maximum Carnage faggot. Good luck getting us to recommend anything worth a shit now.

Awesome troll, masterful.

>>5801192
Hahaha, oh wow.

>>5801192
Look, just because we don't learn the details of Alucard's background until near the end of the story doesn't mean he's undeveloped. And he's not the only goddamn character. Believe it or not, there are many Hellsing fans who would not list him as their favorite character in the series at all.

>>5801207
jesus christ.................

>>5801207

shit, when did Johns come on board?

>>5801192
Well put, its good, but not that good.

>>5801240

that looks so badassssssssszzzzzzzzzzzzzz

>>5801240
Alucard's a plot device. He moves things along, but he's barely a character in his own right.

>>5801192
>There's barely any text

>>5801240

Pip was the greatest character in Hellsing.

>>5801293

Second actually, right after Alexander motherfucking Anderson.

>>5801288

boy you sure proved him wrong with a two page speech from a 93 chapter comic

>>5801293
For me it's Alucard > Anderson > Pip > Integra > Seras > Walter
I honestly didn't like Alucard at all at first, but after a while he very much grew on me. It's just a matter of finding out more about him.

>>580136
8 page speech actually, just posted the biggest part of it.
And that character gives several speeches like that.
