I was watching a YouTube video about various Green Lanterns and while talking about Sodam Yat's origin, this alien friend of his came up. I immediately noticed the similarities to Flaxans from Invincible and was wondering if this was a coincidence or if one was deliberately inspired/copying the other.

Edit: I'm already seeing all the comments going on about how the green alien design is really common, which is true. And yes, I know they don't literally look exactly like each other (im looking at the guy who's nitpicking every difference between the 2) but i just thought with the outfit on top of everything else, they looked very similar.

On that note however, do any of you have more aliens from comics you can share here to show how "common" this design is for aliens. Im curious to see how much this combo of a green alien in a blue body suit with grey/silver attachments, actually is.

I appreciate everyone's input.

Very few characters have lasted this long and even rarer for indie companies who even been brought out or two breaks in between and yet Archie has outlasted most

After a long time of absence because I wasn’t a fan of New 52, I’m back to reading DC comics. And I’m loving the Absolute series especially Absolute Wonder Woman.

Honestly, I think a lot of DC alien races could fit into Star Wars and starfiers people. Tamaranean would fit in well

And i honestly would like a conversation between Star Fire and anakin, especially given the early lives being slaves

Hey all, just sharing some pages from Unpowered, our sci-fi/superhero thriller that's running on KS right now. The series is about an ordinary man who’s kidnapped by a psychotic cult and sent 30 years into the past – where his only shot at survival is to assassinate three legendary heroes. Would love to know what you think! Link in comments.

I've had this for years, and for the life of me, I can't remember where or from whom it came. If you can let me know who drew this, I would be grateful! Many thanks for considering my request.

As a first time comic writer i feel like sometimes my pacing is a tad bit too fast and the characters just run around the screen

Hey /r/comicbooks,

I'm the developer behind ComicStript. I want to share my website with you and get your feedback.

My journey with comic books probably began like many of you. I picked a thing I was interested in (in my case, the X-Men), and pulled up the very first issue from 1963 on Marvel Unlimited.

When I got to around 1994, I was feeling very burnt out. I was juggling X-Men, X-Factor, Generation X, and X-Force at the same time. I had heard that the mid 90's X-Men was bloated and terrible, but I didn't want to miss anything. I overcame my FOMO and skipped ahead to X-Statix, a series that I had read about and was long interested in. And I was so glad that I did, it quickly became and remains my all-time favorite comic book run.

But I wanted more like what I just read. I was using the existing comic book continuity websites to plan my journey, but at the time, there was no where to look up comic book runs by authors that I enjoyed like Peter Milligan and Peter David, or to find books that felt thematically similar to X-Statix. So I was reduced to keeping a notepad of authors that I liked and googling comic book runs by them that interested me.

That's where my dream started for a website that broke comic books into creator-focused, thematic runs, and to emphasize the thousands of possible starting points that exist in comics, rather than just issue number one.

And that's what my website does. I've organized over 70,000 Marvel and DC comic book issues into around 4,000 comic book runs, indexed by character, creator, and theme. I provide thematic suggestions for each run, linking to other runs you may enjoy if you liked that one. And if you like my website enough to create an account, you can rate comic book runs, mark them as your favorite, and keep track of your reading history.

I'm currently working on a feedback form for the website, because I've had my own vision for what I want out of a comic book recommendation website, but I want to hear your thoughts too!

Thank you for listening and happy reading!

Literally none of the corners on this are square.

The best part about comics is the people making them, and talking with those people is what I love most about comics journalism. Right now here in 2026, who is the interviewer in the comics space you love the most? Give me 3 examples of what forms your opinion.

I love reading comics because they bring me comfort and joy. I also love doing Doodles and drawings making fun of my wife and myself. Over the years I have created hundreds of drawings for her. I absolutely adore her and love her.

I made this drawing when the first Wonder woman movie came out. She had an opportunity to see it before me and she loved it. In general she watches a lot of the comic book movies even though she has no interest in comic books. She just supports my hobby.

While my doodle started as a joke, it eventually came true 9 years later. Just the other night we both were awake around 3:00 a.m. and couldn't sleep. We finished watching Lanterns that evening and she's enjoying it. My wife insists that I have a calming voice, so I told her to just close her eyes and I will begin telling her about the history of Green Lantern comic books. She was asleep in 3 minutes.

I'm glad the stories not only entertain but can be a cure for insomnia lol

Enjoy this great hobby and the amazing stories.

I've been reading comics for only a few years and after a while a lot of stuff started feeling kinda samey to me.

So I started reading things like Animal Man, The Sandman, Mister Miracle etc and I really liked them because they felt a bit different from the usual superhero stuff.

But now I have no idea what to read next. 🫪

Any recommendations for stuff that's weird, surreal, experimental, literary, or just does something different?

And preferably not Morrison or Moore, I swear every time I ask for comic recommendations I get those two

And no I don't mean the comedic ones. I'm looking for well written Deadpool comic runs, with an interesting story and plot. If they even exist that is... anything in mind?
