Thank You, ILC!

Inspired by Tom's comment about ILC suckering him into reading some stuff he's liked: what stuff have you read & enjoyed as a result of the constant pestering & hectoring of ILC posters?

For me, it's Lone Wolf & Cub (not at all what I expected; a lot drier and more insidiously enriching than I thought at first blush) and Carnet de Voyage (for me, a buttload better than the admirably solid Blankets).

Bendis (Daredevil and Powers, both of which I heart dearly)
Queen & Country
Sleeper

Those stick out right away as things that I checked out because of ILC and then ended up buying all the trades, but I'm sure there are others.

Seaguy, definitely, since ILC convinced me not to wait for the TPB, and Matt sent me #1.

Y, I think -- I don't remember if I was reading it before reading ILC regularly, but I don't think so.

Outsiders in a totally different sense, because I think it's one of those comics that really benefits from the reader's ability to go, "Hey, did you get a load of that?", and my girlfriend isn't really familiar enough with the characters to join in with me on that.

Seaguy, Runaways, Astonishing X-Men, 1602 (to my surprise)!

― Tom (Groke), Thursday, 7 October 2004 15:18 (twenty-one years ago)

I recently bought the first Y - The Last Man trade as the result of a recommendation on the board and enjoyed it muchly.

Sleeper... Powers... Maybe Phoenix...

anything superhero comic at all that isn't alan moore i can chalk up to ilc esp. green arrow (what up huck), possibly wouldn't have been aware or at the very least likely wouldn't have read y or gotham central without ilc and i buy these now the week they come out (something i haven't done with comics since i was 13?)(whenever destro and cobra commander and snake eyes took off their masks and they were ALL white guys)(wtf).

Powers, Alias, and Seaguy. I don't think I like Seaguy as much as most of you guys though.

Oh and Sleeper too.

― Dan I. (Dan I.), Friday, 8 October 2004 04:03 (twenty-one years ago)

Powers. Y. Rucka.

Er, nothing really. Sticking with my favourite writers (= the british invasion, more or less) has done me well. I did download Identity Crisis, but it's safe to say that won't result in a purchase.

(haha and I was doubtful about Americans' tastes BEFORE the Rodney Dangerfield thread).

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Friday, 8 October 2004 12:51 (twenty-one years ago)

Actually, I'm wrong: I did download New Frontier, and will probably buy it in TPB (as a counterweight to James Robinson's The End), and Phoenix:Dawn, though that might be as much Martin's review on Brown Wedge as anything here.

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Friday, 8 October 2004 12:54 (twenty-one years ago)

How many issues of Alias are there?

― Leeeter van den Hoogenband (Leee), Friday, 8 October 2004 14:11 (twenty-one years ago)

28, I think?

― David R. (popshots75`), Friday, 8 October 2004 14:13 (twenty-one years ago)

w00t! Full torrented run, here I come!

― Leeeter van den Hoogenband (Leee), Friday, 8 October 2004 14:16 (twenty-one years ago)

This Alias comic is based on the TV series, I assume? I'm quite surprised to hear it's good. Comics based on TV shows usually=total dross.

― Wooden (Wooden), Friday, 8 October 2004 14:42 (twenty-one years ago)

Alias the comic is written by Bendis, takes place in the Marvel/Daredevil universe. Alias the tv show has a comic called Secret Agent: Sydney Bristow or somesuch.

― Leeeter van den Hoogenband (Leee), Friday, 8 October 2004 14:45 (twenty-one years ago)

Meta!

― Wooden (Wooden), Friday, 8 October 2004 14:46 (twenty-one years ago)

I think that some kids may be in for a rude surprise as I noticed Alias the comic in the young adult section of the lib. last night.

― jocelyn (Jocelyn), Friday, 8 October 2004 15:32 (twenty-one years ago)

rude surprise=exactly what they were hoping for

― Huk-L, Friday, 8 October 2004 15:53 (twenty-one years ago)

Yeah, Alias is terrific.

two weeks pass...

Green Lantern: Rebirth. Definitely wouldn't have picked it up if not for ILC, and specifically for Huck. I can feel my Green Lantern fanhood returning.

― Tep (ktepi), Saturday, 30 October 2004 16:28 (twenty-one years ago)

one year passes...

Ha - Tep was suckered just like the rest of us! ("rest of us" = Huk & I) (& anyone else that wants to jump on board)

― David R. (popshots75`), Thursday, 20 April 2006 00:21 (nineteen years ago)

I carry such a burden of shame.
