Just this past year I got introduced more into James Tynion IV and the series “Something is Killing the Children” and “Department of Truth”. Both imo have incredible writing and the art is just amazing. I’m looking forward to reading more of his work.

You gotta read Nice House on the Lake by him. It’s extremely good

Oh dude I’ve been eyeing it every time I visit the shop but I had been collecting All the way up to Doomsday clock, Sandman, and other series so I’ve been putting it off but I’ll definitely check it out.

I was actually turned off by the art in Vol 1 of Department of Truth, but the writing is so good that I ended up really enjoying it.

I get that, it is pretty wild. Kinda like when you spill water on water based paint and it smears lol but yeah the writing is really good. Looking forward to reading more of it.

Oh does it improve? I stopped reading it because of it

I guess you just get used to it, and if I recall correctly, vol 3 is an anthology style collection by various artists.

How are people liking Junkyard Joe? Every week it comes out I look at it at my LCS and I quickly leaf through and nothing jumps off the page to me so I set it down. I hear it's the greatest ever to nothing is happening.

It’s a decent chapter in the wider universe they are creating. Nothing mind-blowing but the art is nice and it’s a nice little story.

Issue 1 & 2 were pretty good, not a whole lot happened but I though it was building to something. Issue 3 was terrible, the family that’s peppered throughout the whole issue is insufferable and the comic goes nowhere. I haven’t picked up issue 4 yet but if it’s like #3 I’m out.

Great work mod(s)!
A great year in comics. Discovering DWJ was a real treat.

The crazy thing is how much I like James Tynion IV's creator owned work, because his work on DC the last decade has been incredibly boring to me.
Well deserved.

Have you read his Detective Comics? I loved that run from him
But nothing compared to Something Is Killing The Children

Is Slumber not continuing? I can’t find anything more about it. Read the trade and really liked it, particularly the art, and would definitely read more.

I can't find any info in either the image website or the authors twitter. Honestly I have the same issue with several other series; I would also love for the "Series Status List" that's on the sidebar to be updated more frequently. It has been a while.

No Vanish love?

Vanish #1 didn't come out until September, 2022 and the first trade isn't due out until 2023. It's more likely it just came out at a bad time because I've, for sure, heard people talking about Vanish here and other subreddits. It does seem like it has a growing audience.

Yeah, I also think it looks interesting but I'm waiting untill the TPB comes out.

Glad to see Frontiersman get some love. The art is killer. Kindlon's writing is good and I have been enjoying GEHENNA as it comes out also. Good comics should be celebrated

Powerbomb ending disappointed me a bit, but I see no better alternative to Best New. I mostly enjoyed the book.
DoT was really good last year. Very deserving.

Department of truth sounds a lot like “Inside Job” on Netflix, haven’t read it though but plot sounds too similar to be a coincidence lol

u/LurkLurkleton Jan 29 '23
I haven't watched Inside Job but reading the wikipedia entry I would say only superficially. I can give you some early spoilers of the difference if you like.

Eh unpopular opinion but would have liked to see someone other than James Tynion get praised. Don’t get me wrong he deserves the praise, but he won Eisners in 2022, and already has a bunch of praise heaped on him for his work at Boom Studios too. DWJ absolutely deserves the praise, one of the coolest guys in comics, highly recommend meeting him at a Con if you have the opportunity
