#PBTopPicks highlights our favorite comic books! From single issues to mini-series to full runs by a creative team, these books are #TheBestoftheBest! #AtlantisAttacks is one of the most fun stories I’ve ever read! It’s also what probably got me into actually comic ‘collecting.’ This is the first series I ever had to hunt down “in the wild,” before the days of eBay - Hell before the days of the internet period! That means traveling to comic cons and comic stores as far as I could manage to get to (or as far as my Mom and Grandma would drive me back then) Join the Avengers, Spider-Man, the X-Men, Doctor Strange, and all your favorite Marvel superheroes as they take on Lord Ghaur, Empress Llyra, and the Serpent Society as they try to resurrect the Serpent God Set! Seriously, if you’re a Thor fan, you need to read this! If you’ve never read Atlantis Attacks, you absolutely need to. Pick up the hardcover #omnibus, which includes several stand-alone issues of Hulk, X-Men, and Avengers West Coast that even I never knew about back then! However, if you can get the original issues, do it, ‘cause the collector in us all knows how much fun that can be! This is one of my all-time favorite books, and a #MustRead for any comic fan who misses the good old days when Marvel events were still a special occasion! #BestoftheBest #TopPicksTuesday Have you read Atlantis Attacks? Comment your thoughts here! If you go out and pick it up based on this recommendation, I really wanna’ hear what you think!

#PBTopPicks highlights our favorite comic books! From single issues to mini-series to full runs by a creative team, these books are #TheBestoftheBest! #JohnnytheHomicidalManiac is one of the funniest, zaniest, most outlandish books I’ve ever read! This book had me literally laughing out loud! I think I’ve read it about six times now, song with it’s sequel, #Squee. From the mind of #JhonenVasquez comes The story of Johnny C., a man in his early 20s who elaborately and gloriously slaughters anyone who irritates him. Like door-to-door salesmen, census surveyors, people who use the word “wacky,”...the list goes on. And on, and on. If you’ve never read #JtHM, you absolutely need to. Pick up the #directorscut trade paperback, which comes in both soft and hardcover, and includes a "Gallery of Ancient Horrors" that features a few strips previously published in the Mount Pleasant High School newspaper and Carpe Noctem, as well as some strips previously unpublished, all with funny director commentary. However, if you can get the original issues, d it. The reprints shouldn’t be too pricey. The trade is great, but it does not include many of the filler strips that came with the original seven issues, which featured the all-but psychotic adventures of one of Vasquez’s most insane characters, #HappyNoodleBoy. The fact is, once you read Johnny once, you’re gonna’ wanna’ read it again. You’re gonna’ want more. So after you read the trade, you’re gonna’ want to get the original issues. And the sequel, Squee, and the sequel to the sequel, #IFeelSick. This is one of my al-time favorite books, and a #MustRead for any comic fan who might enjoy their humor a little on the dark and twisted side. Sanity is overrated anyway. #BestoftheBest #TopPicksTuesday Have you read Johnny the Homicidal Maniac? Comment your thoughts here!
