TheAmericandream: This thread is now updated to welcome all fans of sequential art, be it Western comics, Manga or something else (looking at you chinese/korean comics)
Because I think both manga and comic fans should talk to each other and share what tickles there fancy in the world of words and pictures. Feel free to discuss things about comics or your favorite manga and comic book franchises/series

I think the bigger plot hole is what stopped the zoldyck family from using alluka against meruem :3

Because bigger the wish, bigger the pestering is for the next person.If they just wished for "Alluka must never ever use her wish granting of pestering powers ever again for all eternity" she could not harm the next person because she could not use her powers!

Since when were you a fan of Hunter X Hunter?

Anyway I really liked the recent chapter. Alluka is cool, I love the Zaoldeyeck family. I've sadly kind of forgotten what's wrong with Gon in the first place beyond being really injured, anyone care to fill me in so I don't have to read it again?


Also Debulover I've posted a Spoiler warning in your first post. People who may be interested in Hunter x Hunter or aren't caught up could be spoiled. I think they're worth considering since the new anime just started.

I've been a fan for a while. Since my sophomore year in High school to be precise!

Gon went over his limit and turned into a huge muscle person like Biscuit when he found out that that cat Chimera ant couldn't bring back Kite. He used a bunch of his life-force to kill the Cat Chimera ant and is now where you see him today.

I wish this forum had those spoilers tags that I could use. maybe if I changed it to a different color and said highlight for spoilers, then that could work as an alternative



Highlight:
like this maybe?

I just fixed it, but glad you are a fan of the series Dlover, I actually wasn't sure since I don't know much about you at all besides you post A LOT lately. I took some creative license with your post hope you don't mind.

Also just do this

**spoiler**
Did the fight Gon had require him to place some nen restriction on himself? is that why he is so messed up? not just that he's injured?
***spoiler end***

I think there is a way to make spoiler tags though I just forgot how, lets wait for someone intelligent enough about the internet to correct us.

I need to draw more Hunter fan art. I'll gladly take any Yoshihiro Togashi related requests in my art thread (this includes any characters in Yu Yu Hakusho or Hunter X Hunter, as long as its within my standards and has reference and you don't mind me taking forever to draw it)

Aerial Rave: Done and done. This is now Comics General essentially.

Another comic I like is french published Blacksad, though mostly for its amazing artwork then the noir story about a panther cop and animal people.

Just look at it:

It's sort of obvious with me.

Jojo's Bizarre Adventure (Parts 7&8)

Deadman Wonderland

7 Billion Needles - A good, but short series. Four volumes, but I have yet to read the last one.

Katekyo Hitman Reborn

TAD, put [*spoiler] at the start of the spoiler and then [/*spoiler] at the end
(delete the stars)

I don't read a lot,
but I got extremely into Pokemon Special.

It's a lot more of a cooler Pokemon universe, especially with them making the Pokemon more realistic in their enviroments.

So 7 Billion Needles is good?
I got the first couple volumes from my library but haven't gotten around to reading them.

Spiderman Reign made me tear up, that's how great the story is and it's about an old Spiderman in a world (or just New York) where heroes have either been killed or just left to were they're wanted.

A bunch of rich kids find out their parents are super villains and decide to run away and stop them, surprisingly really interesting.

The first two volumes of 7 billion are amazing. (Even the cliches were portrayed well.)

Volume 3 gets a bit...complicated, but after a second or third read-through, it'll make sense.

Yes. Let's discuss the Sonic Comic. The recent reboot Genesis saga is pretty cool, but I haven't read much past issue 90 something honestly. After the Sonic Adventure 1 adaptation. That feels like forever ago now.

Black Butler - Now, before a slew of rotten tomatoes are thrown at me, hear me out. Haven't seen a second of the anime, but the manga is something special. Yes, the butler himself is a Mary Sue, but that's what's so charming about it. The other characters react to it as either suspicion or see it as mere annoyance. It isn't praised as something to be mimicked or shown up as. In fact, Sebastian hates the fact that he's a lot more competent than his fellow workers. The story itself is pretty solid, IMO. Ciel, the main character is cynical, but for a good reason. He takes on situations with the appropriate emotions for a kid in his situation, and I feel he's more of an adult in a child's body. Overall, I say it's a good read if you're into the supernatural, the occult and all that jazz. As for the yaoi motfi, I really only seen that in Grell, and even that is looked down on in the universe, itself.

Majin Tantei Nōgami Neuro - My recent avatar/signature theme. A paranormal mystery manga I recently got into. Sure, it is a bit mundane and boring, but Neuro himself keeps it interesting. His overall calm demeanor and obsession towards humanity is nice, and how he abuses his assistant while making her a city icon is entertaining.

Chronicles of the Cursed Sword. It's really good and has amazing character designs. Especially towards the females of the series. I want to make Sheyshen and Hyacia into BBW's so badly! >=3

It is a long running manga that was made in China. It follows a boy named Rey Yan as he uses this weapon called the Pasa Sword to kill demons, absorb their blood and power, and evolve his sword to a point in which it can defeat a great Demon King locked away in Hell. He is first accompanied by his sister Shyao and Prince Jaryoon (I say first accompanied because the group Rey Yan is leading changes like every arc or so)

Read it here:
