I've never liked capeshit, the little I know of them comes from some movies, the old Teen Titans show and by browsing Yea Forums but I've been meaning to give it a try. Once I brought a Moon Knight book, whose concept I found interesting, but the issue was fucking disappointing. I remember a guy who would use dogs to kill rich people, some guys with jet packs or something that would catch random civillians and drop them from long heights and I think some evil Ghostbusters guys and Moon Knight just kills all of them, I knew cape is mostly unconnected stories with some occasional two-parters just like the TV shows, but this entre issue just felt like boring filler to me
So what are some good comics? I'm particularly interested on magic and fantasy heroes like Dr Strange/Fate. Are there any Thor, Wonder Woman and other gods/champions stories that takes place in more fantastical settings like the Aquaman movie? I've seen some pics of the DC universe that feature places like a Fairy World and Godlands or something. Did any of the martial artist dudes ever go on a wuxia-like adventure? I also enjoy Space Opera Sci-Fi like the GotG movies. Also books similar to the Teen Titans cartoon would be good as well
Feel free to use this thread to make your own recommendation requests
Did you read the OP? I'm not looking for the essentials of capeshit, I want to know if there's more fantasy adventures like the Aquaman movie, Space Operas, Wuxia and creative fights with weird magic like Dr Strange vs Thanos in IW
Thanks, I knew there must've been some good ones but the problem was avoiding all the shitty ones

Why don't you try some stories about Doctor Doom becoming omnipotent? We Yea Forumsmrades, as a whole, believe that those are the apex of writing. As a matter of fact, Marvel publishes this same story every year and boy oh boy do we praise them for that.
If you're in the US (or maybe there are comparable programs elsewhere) check out Hoopla app that works w library card to let you borrow digital comics free/legally- including entire volumes. A good way to sample some stuff or catch up.

get the silver surfer: rebirth of thanos and Infinity Gauntlet, maybe get infinity war too. jack kirbys new gods is a good ol space opera too. the big geoff johns green lantern story (blackest/darkest night?) fantasy setting conan. maybe some DC rebirth wonderwoman and aquaman.
Doom is like some kind of medieval fanatic right? but what are the books called?
is some of the art done by the Orc Stain guy? That's on my /tg/ list
Jaxon Nguyen
No, Doctor Doom is a present day guy. He's a Fantastic Four villain.
Joshua Price
I would rec The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, Fabled. I think their premises can be summed up as literary/fairy tale characters in capeshit. Hellboy for occult.
I know, but isn't he like a medieval nerd and his evil lairs look like medieval castles?
>conan Any particular Conan? The rebirth stuff looks nice
Benjamin Williams
>Doom is like some kind of medieval fanatic right? No, Doctor Doom is a F4 villain. He is a guy that is one of the best ever at every skill imaginable. But he wasn't the smartest guy in college, so now he wants to kill the man that was the smartest guy in college and his whole family (Reed Richards and the Fantastic Four).
Every year, and I am not shitting you, every year the character builds a machine that makes him omnipotent, but then he loses omnipotence because "muh hubris". Marvel fans cannot get enough of that shit. They pay money every year for it, praise every writer that writes this same story, want to kill anyone that doesn't like it as much as they do, etc. It's something to behold.
The League is incredible work, all these years on the world building, scope and characterization are all so impressive, little emotional it's ending.

conan seems to have a cult following where everything is good. i heard savage sword of conan is good too. its the most recent one. its ongoing so you can go to the lcs and pick up savage sword #1.
get the DC rebirth deluxe edition WW pic related. rebirth aquaman is good-the setting is like mythological atlantis-but in modern day. its a little repetitive though.
>Also books similar to the Teen Titans cartoon would be good as well Super Sons is a great ongoing. It's slightly different in tone but far more similar than the actual Teen Titans comic
But you should probably be looking at non-cape comics by the sound of it Though your criticisms of cape comics are stupid and so are you Descenders is pretty space opera and good
Eli Williams
You are a good example of what I am talking about.
Imagine believing that stories about Doctor Doom becoming omnipotent are so amazing, so fascinating, that the possibility of more than one person disliking them doesn't even seem possible.
What do you like so much about reading the same story every year, friendo?
>But you should probably be looking at non-cape comics by the sound of it Yeah, I thought there would be at least some stories of Thor fighting some mythologycal monsters but I guess he's just a super with thunder powers that occasionaly mentions something related to norse mythology
>Though your criticisms of cape comics are stupid and so are you I criticised cape? I just didn't like that one Moon Knight comic, not because it's unconnected as most episodes of TT were as well, but because it was boring

>It isn't? That doesn't make it bad IMO It really isn't, if you find a rec you're interested in in this thread you should really give it time to breath. Stories and characters develop over time. You won't really see one thing happen right after the other in most stories, you and the characters will learn things as the story progresses. I especially think you should give Ellis' Moon Knight a fair chance
Aiden Gonzalez
Immortal Iron Fist maybe. Classic Shang Chi is more like Enter the Dragon.
Luis Campbell
Obsessive? I am not the one spending my money on the same story every year or praising it as a masterpiece of literature without equal, am I?

No, you're the mental case who makes the exact same posts and threads in an anonymous image board while expecting any of it to matter.
Connor Powell
Well then, uh, nobody actually likes Dave Sim. They just pretend to like him for e-cred.
While it isn't some 2deep4u "masterpiece" I still love Quest for Magik and everything else involving the Academy Kids. You get fun and hope filled kids ground down into a fine paste of suffering from story arc to story arc.
You got it wrong. I said that I'm not looking for masterpieces or anything like that
Alexander Nguyen
>You get fun and hope filled kids ground down into a fine paste of suffering from story arc to story arc. Not him, but like, is it really that depressing or is there actually some form of triumph or success for the MCs?
Brandon Bailey
The Weir/DeFilippis run is good and fun. The Kyle/Yost run is dumb grimdark nonsense that only exists to prop up their OC.
Jace Ward
That was Infamous Iron Man and I thought Bendis did good on that run, I find it annoying that Doom's character development from this has since been ignored.
