apo/post-apo comics

[vx trauma]

Comics anyone? Paper ones and NOT some half-assed x-men shite. Harsher comics from the era before the internet (browser based)? Marshal Law for example. Lists go on and on and would like to hear what other DAC-frquents read/read even today. Mainly apo/post-apo thou.
very wasted on downers

I have a virtually complete collection of Scout and spinoffs.
Oh, the bad old '80s.

[Cimmerian Nights]

Scout would be the best I can think of.

Judge Dredd would be a close second (although there have been a lot of shit Dredd stories over the years). 2000AD generally ood PA stuff.

I was desperately looking for "The Last American" a while back... Supposedly it's pretty serious and shit.

[Redeye]

Some of the Invisibles issues had A/PA imagery that was pretty
cool, and pretty surreal. I imagine that HL2 is informed by this source.

[Spazmo]

Garth Ennis wrote nine issues of JUST A PILGRIM that were pretty damn awesome post-apoccery.

Its a mix of a wild west gunslinger/post apocalyptic mad max/knight hero ...

For those who've read the books.. its not goin to be based on them, but set before the first book's beginning.

In 3 months I think the first issues coming out

[Megatron]

I thought it was going to be a continuation of the story? Are they doing that or just making GRAPHIC NOVELS© of them?

[MadBill]

lol. A continuation would be set before the first book.

[Megatron]

lol. A continuation would be set before the first book.

Well since I didn't really read the books anyway but OH GOSH IT'S ALL HAPPENING AGAIN LOL thenb ashjsafjasdf just read this otay

STEPHEN KING IS writing a graphic novel for Marvel Comics. Illustrated by Jae Lee, well-known American illustrator of comic books, it will form the eighth volume in King's Dark Tower series, published by Simon & Schuster in the States and Hodder in the UK. Marvel is distributed worldwide by Diamond Book Distributors and publication is scheduled for next autumn.

so yeah, 8th volume instead of prequel or whatever the fuck

[Nicolai]

I think that they're just going to do a bunch of pre-The Gunslinger standalone episodes.

[Megatron]

wheres your sourse i need your sourse

hey also walking dead and why the last man?

[subnormalx]

go to www.thedarktower.net

its the 2nd news item there at the moment...
He says that it'll be set before the first book...

I'll quote...

The series will expand the saga of King’s epic hero, Roland Deschain, whose quest to save the Dark Tower is captured in seven best-selling novels published over the course of twenty-five years. King’s unparalleled storytelling power will inform new stories that delve into the life and times of the young Roland, revealing the trials and conflicts that lead to the burden of destiny he must assume as a man, the last Gunslinger from a world that has moved on. The comics will work in conjunction with the novels, further supplementing and defining the saga’s mythology under the direction of the acclaimed author himself.

EDIT - also for it from the marvel people themselves... http://www.marvel.com/king - also has pretty pictures there .. (ohh those pictures fill me with joy)

I'd really, really like to get my hands on that weird vampire batman thingy.
I read some albums a few years back and they were awesome.

[Geno]

I got one when my father was a kid. I remember readint it a few years ago, was pretty cool. Maybe I can scan it, but it's in french... So... I'd doubt this'd be good for you... But the drawings were cool...

I'd want those post-apocalyptic X-Men comics where Wolverine fights Cyclops.

Age of Apocalypse
Wolverine was never actually called “Wolverine� in the Age of Apocalypse timeline. Instead, he retained his code name, Weapon X. In this reality he never had his adamantium ripped out and it was Magneto that helped him to control his feral rages. Weapon X was a loner and, initially, an unwilling recruit to the X-Men. He reconsidered after meeting the team’s telepath, Jean Grey. The two had an instant connection and eventually became lovers. Logan trained Magneto’s newer recruits, including Kitty Pryde, also known as Shadowcat. Unbeknown to the rest of the X-Men, Magneto had asked Weapon X to train the girl as an assassin. Weapon X taught Shadowcat everything he knew and even crafted a pair of claws, similar to his own, for her with Magneto’s help. One of the main differences between Weapon X and the Earth 616 Wolverine is that Weapon X’s left hand is missing. The hand was blasted off by the Prelate Scott Summers (a villain in this universe) when Weapon X tried to rescue Jean from Mr. Sinister. He succeeds and gouged one of the Summers' eyes out in return. He also has a number of facial tattoos. Not willing to return to the X-Men, Logan and Jean worked on their own. After months of guerrilla warfare, they were contacted by Sinister who revealed Apocalypse’s plan to attack the humans in Europe. Logan and Jean delivered this information to the Human High Council and learned of the Council’s plan to launch nuclear missiles on America to stop Apocalypse. In the end, Jean was killed by the Prelate Alex Summers, but Logan avenged her.

Interestingly, his relationships with many of his old enemies were changed. Sabretooth is no longer his nemesis, but instead an ally, although the two still shared similar powers.

Age of Apocalypse

Human High plan to launch nuclear missiles on America to stop Apocalypse.

I doubt this is a apo/PA comic. Just some marvel masturbation?
