I only started reading The Flintstones (2016) after being in a hole for a few weeks and after seeing a panel of it on a comment thread (yes, the genocide one).

I didn't expect much besides a weird, funny little comic but what I ended up with was a pleasant surprise of a book I didn't want to end. It was such a fun, interesting take on a classic franchise that while it doesn't take itself too seriously, had moments that genuinely caught me off guard with emotion. The humor and references are great, the characters are all intriguing, and the story goes is all sorts of directions from silly to existential.

I'm genuinely baffled at how good this book was...

I cannot recommend this book more. It's a fantastic little read that'll make you laugh, think and probably cry.

I didn’t think I’d like it as much as I do. (I feel like I’m easily entertained) but I started it yesterday and today I’m starting the third trade. What are your guys thoughts? I think it’s a trip! >!I just hope they can stick the landing implementing time travel.!<

Finally tracked a copy of this one down. It includes some of Sala’s early work, spanning the years of 1986 - 1992. Just fabulous!

Comics Beat shared a preview of the upcoming final volume of Stephan Franck's Palomino! If you like Brubaker and Philips' Criminal, I really recommend this series. It's a great hard boiled mystery that starts in the honky tonk clubs of 1980s LA and moves through the 90s. Really cool stuff! I can't wait to see how it ends!

The preview looks great! https://www.comicsbeat.com/exclusive-preview-stephan-francks-palomino-concludes-with-volume-6/

This collects the 8 issue mini series that ,rumor has it, the upcoming Film will be based on. i haven't read it yet,but people whose opinions on such things ,I am inclined to trust,assure me that it's well worth my time. And, well I grew up with a fondness for the character so I'm giving it a shot. this will either be great and set the bar high for the movie, increasing the potential for disappointment, or just be a fun read. either way I'm in.

a friend of mine is looking for books similar to the DC’s Noir line, and Marvel’s Black-White-Color line. but they are looking specifically for comics that label them as alternative to the regular edition.

the picture contains some examples.

any suggestions?
