I'm 40 and I've been collecting comic books since I was about 9. My favorite characters are Spider-Man, Superman, and Batman. I like a lot more but when it came to modern day comic books I got to the point where I only read those three, but I've reached a point where I have decided with Marvel and DC to just read back issues and luckily there are a ton of back issues that I haven't even touched yet. For instance I recently found a bunch of 70s Conan comic books in a bargain bin.
My question is does anyone have any indie/Manga recommendations? It seems like Marvel and DC for the most part want to hire people who are clueless about or hate comic books (the lady doing the She-Hulk show as well as the guy hired to do the Superman movie come to mind). I think I may start supporting Alterna Comics as well.
Thanks in advance.
Okay so mecha....
The ten ton gorilla franchise of mecha is Mobile Suit Gundam, of which there are quite literally dozens of individual storylines.
Gundam Origin is probably the easiest starting point for that one.
It's funny because I was about to say "How come you guys just don't recommend him some Warhammer 40K stuff for the giant mechs?" and then I remembered how Games Workshop went woke.
