Happy to see the Calvin and Hobbes anthology getting a place of honor.

Agreed, just packed up my set for a move. Always great to see a perennial favorite on display.

Calvin and Hobbes and the Far Side anthologies are both totally worth owning.

You know it I got the Far Side compendiums for my father as a birthday gift several years ago. It was always one of his favorites when it was actively circulating.

You have great taste! Also, I see Prison Pit and I automatically upload!
I’m currently reading Death Note, and I’m totally hooked. Is there something similar to it, that you have read and would recommend?

u/A_UPRIGHT_BASS 3d ago
Oh my god Death Note is definitely my favorite manga. I recently started reading Platinum End, hoping it would be similar, and while there are a lot of similarities (supernatural beings attaching themselves to humans, crazy intricate arbitrary rules for how the magic works, a cat and mouse game) it’s just not nearly as good.
While it’s not really similar at all, I would recommend The Flowers of Evil. Really good coming-of-age, dark teen angst.

Thanks! I’m not into coming of age or slice of life stories. What I’m loving about Death Note are the constant twists and the investigative part.

Nice. Is that what a complete collection of Junji Ito looks like? What’s your favorite by him btw?

u/A_UPRIGHT_BASS 3d ago
I think my favorite that I’ve read so far is Black Paradox. Uzumaki is a close 2nd.

Now this is a shelfie I can get behind! I love seeing shelves with almost no marvel or DC.
Did you like Sex Criminals? It was fun enough but I don’t think they stuck the landing.

Haven’t read that one yet! Was excited to see that Kumail Nanjiani and his wife are adapting it to a tv show, so I’ve been waiting for that to get closer.

With that small of a space, one day switch over to built-in shelves. Would look great

How are Nailbitter and Hack/Slash?
2
u/A_UPRIGHT_BASS 2d ago
I looooved Nailbiter. Hack/Slash is a bit inconsistent. Some stories were great, some not as great. Good variety, but not that strong of a through-line.
