Dark Horse Comics

Just curious, how many of you guys read Dark Horse fare? I love it, but seeing it listed under Independent Comics here made me wonder.

I get the Dark Horse stuff in trade format, I love the Omnibus's they put out. I pick up the Star Wars ones when they come out. Also the Buffy stuff I read as well.

Nice! I love Conan and Buffy, not to mention Usagi and Umbrella Academy, but have also been readng the Dylan Dog Case Files and loving it. So, just wanted to hear what the POPulation had to say.

None of their titles have ever looked interesting enough to me try anything other than Star Wars and Conan (trade only). Wasn't really impressed.

Really? What are your tastes? I am sure I can match you up with some DH books you'll love!

Oh yeah, The Goon. sheeze, how did I forget that "Knife to the eye!"

^ That is the most classic line from Goon. And the only story-arc I've read. Borrowed from a friend. Seems like a cool series.

I read Hellboy/B.P.R.D. comics. I get, and need to really catch up, on DH's Star Wars in trades.

Buffy & Umbrella Academy for me. Sugarshock was awesome. Hopefully the one-shot reprint will sell well and merit more. Oh, and I'm eagerly awaiting the Dr. Horrible one-shot, too.

I read the occasional Hellboy mini series, and I check out The Goon every now and then. I need to check out BPRD and Umbrella Academy, and Beasts of Burden looks interesting.

I read a healthy helping of Dark Horse books.

I swear that each month I end buying more books from them than any other publisher.

Has it really been 2 years since it was online? Wow. I still have to reread it in hardcopy.

That's what I'm talking about! It's almost as if they are the Dark Horse candidate in your comic buying election. Right on!

I might have avoided the pun, but it is the truth.

A rave review of the Abe Sapien One-Shot from this week is up on PoP! Check it out!

Man, I can't wait to read this! Anyone else check it out and enjoy it? I've been too busy to get to my local shop and grab it.

PoP! also had a rad review of the Sugarshock One-Shot as well. Check that here! I mean, Whedon and Fabio Moon?! That is a done deal for one of the greatest comics ever, no?!

(Answer: It definitely is.)

AND because I love to keep threads I've created going...

Here is a doodle comic I did featuring Hellboy a while back...

Here's the original link to it on my blog.

Never avoid a pun! NEVER!

I'm waiting for it to arrive in the mail, but I'm pretty excited. I'd love to see more Abe solo stories.

Thanks for the links, JimJam!

love Dark Horse. grew up on Aliens, Predator, Aliens vs Predator, and Star Wars comics. now I read Conan, Buffy, and the Goon.

I tend to read quite a few Dark Horse comics although never quite as many as I used to.

I like Dark Horse, i've been reading the tpbs of Hellboy and i got Buffy #20 where its the cartoon version of Buffy's first season and i bought the Dr. Horrible oneshot. I've been wondering, what are some good star wars comics i should try sometime?

Star Wars: Legacy is a really great book. Since it's set so far in the future of the Star Wars Timeline, it allows for a lot more freedom that most of the other titles.
