The Five Comic Challenge: My Five Most Important Comics
Рет қаралды 1,256
Күн бұрынToday we're doing the 5 Comic Challenge, which I don't think is actually a thing but we're doing it anyway! We're counting down the five most important comics in my collection and talking along the way about why that book is special to me. Laughs will be shared, tears will be shed, and we just might come out of this closer and having learned a valuable life lesson. Probably not, but maybe!

Waid’s Captain America was fantastic. I loved his time on the character. Great video!
@bunkmastab Жыл бұрын
Thank you! Waid's run is still my favorite run on the character, though I know a lot of that is unavoidable nostalgia. That said, right from that first issue, Waid establishes why Cap is still important in today's modern world. Brubaker's run is probably the best plotted, but Waid's run will always be the best Steve has ever been to me.

4:12- Well The Question is the best for you I added it to my wishlist but Kevin O Neil I mean he”ll always be legendary for his League of Extraordinary Gentlemen partnership with Alan Moore!

Hmm, I've heard great things about Moore's League of Extraordinary Gentlemen but I've never actuality read it myself. Need to get around to changing that

Thanks for this great list I transitioned to graphic novels Epic editions and omnibus vs single issues and value wise I don’t care about rarity and perceived value vs what kind of an existential impact did these artists and writers make on my life ? Alan Moore and Eddie Campbell From Hell I’m exhausted from the overhype of Watchmen and honestly the one shots of Rorsarch and Oxmandius and the Comedian blew my head off they were so good . Obscure neglected and forgotten but supreme achievement : Frank Miller and David Gibbons Give Me Liberty and Martha Washington seminal 90s work never to be outdone decades ahead of its time . Finally Chris Ware’s Building Stories - it’s so damn good words defy description it delicately and satirically but subtly brilliant documents our human condition pleasure vs pain read it back in 2014 will never be outdone . As you know Ware along with all the other great artists they can only work at a given throughput speed of production and we wait years until the next release . His Jimmy Corrigan Worlds Smartest Kid will make you 😂 and 😢 also Rusty Brown!

I grabbed Rusty Brown a few years back but Building Stories was definitely not on my radar, but it is now! From Hell is a masterpiece, love Campbell's scratchy linework on the book. I haven't checked out the new colored edition and honestly I don't think I'd be interested. So much of the impact of the book comes from the stark contrast of the black on white. I'm a sucker for a good cross hatching artist and Campbell puts that on full display in this one

I used to draw the pages in an x-men Pizza Hut comic. I think that was the first comic I ever got. Man, I completely forgot about that. Thanks for reminding me. Great list!
@bunkmastab Жыл бұрын
I can't remember if I ever did any tracing of the pages but I'm sure I tried to draw Wolverine from it. I got book wet, read through, off the staples, etc. It was a simpler time. Thanks for watching!

Dude what a great concept of a video. Felt personal. I may have to try this myself. Cap by Mark Waid is AMAZING. Well done bro.

Love this concept! Heads up the Busiek/Perez Avengers omnibus that was reprinted last year has the entirety of the Live Kree or Die story included if you want to finally read the whole thing!

Thank you so much for letting me know that! I'd looked at that omni for a while but never had a reason to pick it up. This might just be that reason!

@@bunkmastab sure, happy to help out! I strongly recommend the omni, it’s got some of the best Avengers stories ever and has two legends doing some of their best work

I loved the Tin Tin cartoon as a kid, never did read the comics unfortunately. My buddy Torsten is doing a series of videos on Franco-Belgian Bande Dessinée and will be covering Tin Tin on one of his episodes. Really excited to see what I've been missing, thanks for watching!

I picked up the Question omnibus last year, but have not yet read it. I've heard only good things, though. Do you still have that issue of Captain America? I can't remember if I had/have all the issues from that crossover, but it is too bad they couldn't include the full event in the omnibus.
@bunkmastab Жыл бұрын
Sadly, I'm sure that issue is long gone. I have a bunch of random issues from that run that I picked up after the fact but never grabbed 8. I probably should make it to that. The Question is excellent, but you've already heard me yell that many times
