Hey, new reader here. Lately I am really interested in cyberpunk theme and I am wondering if you can recommend me any comics set in cyberpunk world?
Cyberpunk comics
Is this out already? If so, is it any good?
Start with Transmetropolitan and Marvel 2099, chummer. I'd recommend Judge Dredd as well but you can argue that it isn't strictly cyberpunk.
>Is this out already?
Yes.
>If so, is it any good?
Nope.
Where to start with Judge Dredd?
Anything from 2099
The Complete Case Files if you want to start at the beginning. But Judge Dredd is one of those comics you can start reading at any point and quickly get the jist of.
>no Shadowrun: Dragonfall or Shadowrun: Hong Kong comic adaptations
What the frag I just want orc waifus
Prez, Tokyo Ghost, I think there's a Neuromancer grafique floating around but I dunno if its a good adaption
you want something done you gotta do it yourself
Join the club, omae.
Preach.
Think this got released last week?
It's not bad - Richard Morgan had a hand in setting it up for the comic writer and it shows. Certainly more like the books than the tv show ended up being.
First issue was passable. No real hook. It's written for the trade I'm a huge way. The lady cop may be a sadist, which is a twist.
This flew under my radar. I thought the show wasn't too bad, save for the majority of the characters (Takeshi is really the only likeable one).
More of an Eiger man myself, but otherwise I agree.
Why do artists keep forgetting that she has a cyberarm?
Stick to manga.
No sure if I get that. It isn't cyberpunk if the characters are 'likeable'. All cyberpunk characters, even the heroes, have to have something wrong with them: kleptomania, voyeurism, barely held-in-check sadism, etc. - the 'good guys' are just the least-worst.
If there's a likeable character in a cyberpunk work, they're a victim waiting to happen.

Make me, Yea Forumsck sucker.
That's stupid and you're stupid for saying it.
I totally get where you're coming from with that. Case, the archetypal cyberpunk protagonist, is - for lack of a better term - an asshole. The point I'm trying to make with Altered Carbon the show is that there's no one save for Takeshi that the viewer could identify or empathize with. Takeshi isn't a good person, but you can put yourself in his shoes. I didn't really care for anyone else, especially Ortega.
I don't see what's so stupid about it. Mind explaining?
>Sgt. Eiger will never break your ribcage for getting cheeky with her in the barracks
Just sudo -rm -rf me now senpai.ddl
>>Sgt. Eiger will never break your pelvis
FTFY.
Show Ortega was character assassination.
>Altered Carbon the book: "Wake the fuck up envoy. We got a city to burn."
>Altered Carbon the show: Ooh save me Mr. Kovacs - a fanfiction
There is zero need in cyberpunk to make all the heroes terrible people. It's very common, since they're often criminals. It's not wrong to do or anything. But there is nothing necessary about it.
This. I really didn't get her borderline obsession with Takeshi from the moment we're introduced to her. I should read the book though.
>It's very common, since they're often criminals. It's not wrong to do or anything.
Then you shouldn't have any issue.
>But there is nothing necessary about it.
Explain your interpretation of the -punk suffix, then.
In cyberpunk it's the underclass. Case nor Molly were really 'punk's. It's about the downtrodden or lower classes. As the genre has expanded out, there's now room for characters from any walk of society.
>In cyberpunk it's the underclass. Case nor Molly were really 'punk's. It's about the downtrodden or lower classes.
Last time I checked, Case was living out of a capsule hotel and had to fence stolen goods for money - money he blew on drugs. And Molly was a prostitute before becoming a street samurai. Everyone who isn't corporate is being shat on by corporate, and thus is the "underclass".
>Transmetropolitan and Marvel 2099
Don't listen to this poster.
People are only recommending Marvel 2099 because they're idiots and don't know any other cyberpunk comics.
OP, comics don't really do cyberpunk well. Stick to actual BOOKS.
Also, why hasn't anyone storytimed the new Blade Runner comic yet?

>People are only recommending Marvel 2099 because they're idiots and don't know any other cyberpunk comics.
We're recommending Marvel 2099 because it's a cyberpunk comic. How about you stop being a faggot and give OP some recommendations instead of criticizing others on some baseless assumption?
>Also, why hasn't anyone storytimed the new Blade Runner comic yet?
There was a story time. You must've missed it while sucking cock.
