If you want to see how amazingly color art can communicate an issue's narrative tone all on its own, grab Green Lantern Corps #7 by @spacekicker.bsky.social, @moellennial.bsky.social, Pasarin, Albert, and Prianto. Pay special attention to Arif Prianto's work here relative to the rest of the series.

Quarter bin diving!

Yes, yes...they're probably not any good. I just can't seem to help myself.

Series started in '86.

Highly recommend for horror fans. The art is particularly compelling.

INTO THE UNBEING

A two-part journey through an Eldritch whale fall.

Part One - out now.
Part Two - out 10/07/25.

In a sentence: It's FANTASTIC VOYAGE into the corpse of a GODZILLA-like creature.

An eco-horror journey through flesh and time with mind-melting art from @cleanlined.bsky.social

That's not a bad idea, actually.

I already have Electric Undertow. My local shop was selling the whole set for $19.99. A little pricey for a more obscure series, but like you said, not super easy to find.

I have almost 1-19 so far. Not a Bagley fan, so that doesn't matter much. I think I've paid less than $10 for the 18 issues I have, so quality isn't too high a concern.

It did surprise me when I picked up the first issue. And it was probably a big factor in why I noticed it in the box. Epic doesn't grab my attention as much.

Theron Reads Comics @theronscomics.bsky.social · Aug 11

Solid grabs for the week--Space Ghost especially, with its very accessible new #1.

David Pepose - #NYCC G-32 @peposed.bsky.social · Aug 11

THIS WEEK: Can Space Ghost escape a planet hijacked by the Toymaker?! Meanwhile, Jan and Jace face a figure from their past in SPACE GHOST VOL. 2 #1!

Plus: Even if the Planeteers survive Duke Nukem's radiation, will the cost of victory doom us all? Find out in CAPTAIN PLANET #3!

Strikeforce Morituri is actually a pretty good series with a fun concept. And the issues are pretty cheap in the wild. I've got about 2/3 of the series.

Quarter box diving!

Why buy them, you ask? Why not!

Theron Reads Comics @theronscomics.bsky.social · Aug 11

The hook! Oh, you wacky 90s.

Especially since writers/editors seemed to have no idea what to do with him for a long time in the beginning. For a long time, he was just X-Jerk.

Theron Reads Comics @theronscomics.bsky.social · Aug 10

Yeah. Music I've utterly failed at. And video games might soon be impossible to get physically. But I won't buy movies or books digitally. With books and comics, especially, the physical item is part of the reading experience for me.

It's the fun, non-story ones that are the best anyway--the Captain America PSA on Spider-Man Homcoming or the one at the very end of FF.

Theron Reads Comics @theronscomics.bsky.social · Aug 10

Nice! I only have the first issue. Never really got into any of that family of books.

Theron Reads Comics @theronscomics.bsky.social · Aug 10

It never should have been uncool. Everyone missing the original cuts of Star Wars, Blade Runner, and many more should realize that by now.

It wouldn't be a trip to the quarter boxes for me if I didn't come away with some kind of Valiant book.

Looking for some new friends here! I’m not on here a ton but looking for new friends to chat with! Catholic husband and father with 4 kids and love talking comics and sports. Re-post this for me if you would! :)

A guy who comes with his own oversized bugs is memorable, I guess.

Theron Reads Comics @theronscomics.bsky.social · Aug 9

I thought every X-Factor tie-in felt pretty forced at the time. It didn't have the same tone as any contemporary X books.
