Comic (and Manga) Zone

I'll post my thoughts on comics/manga I like here. Usually these posts will range from discussing my favourite parts of the series to just saying: "it's pretty cool ig".


Absolute Batman

  • @DC Comics

Absolute Batman features a version of Batman where Bruce Wayne is a working-class citizen and not a billionare. In this world, villains are engraved into society, the world is literally built on evil, and all heroes are underdogs.

I think with everything going on in the world right now, Absolute Batman is exactly what we need, when the world feels like it is being pit against you, we need a hero that looks like us and fights the good fight.

Nick Dragotta takes on almost a manga-like style, which recently has taken over the comics industry. The series also features a lot of fluid action scenes, much like a manga would.

Kagurabachi

  • Takeru Hokazono
  • @Shonen Jump

Kagurabachi is about Chihiro Rokuhira, the son of the famous swordsmith Kunishige Rokuhira who ended the war by creating powerful enchanted blades, on a quest to avenge his fathers murder as well as fix the impact the enchanted blades created on the world.

This series has a lot of action, Hokazono is really great at using perspective to create dramatic and fluid action scenes.
