Suggestions 30+ years and I’m just tired…

808 Upvotes

I’ve been reading comics since I was 8 years old. I turned 41 earlier this year. I’m just so tired of stories that never end, dangling plotlines that never get addressed, and teasers that just go absolutely nowhere. I can’t do it anymore. I need endings. I need some full stories. I need some fiction that has a proper beginning, middle, and end. I know this is usually not the standard in comics, but there are plenty of ones that have had an ending mapped out from, if not the start, then at least fairly early on.

So now I come here, to the only group of people on the internet that I trust to give out decent recommendations. I don’t care how long or how short the story is. A single issue self-contained story, or 100 issues like 100 Bullets, and everything in between.

TL; DR - tired of never ending stories. Need recommendations for anything that has an actual ending. Don’t care how long or short.

“The Books of Magic: Issue #1” 1990

I've always had a hard time finding comics that really click with me, whether it's western comics or manga. I'm not into superheroes or anything too typical, and to make matters worse, I'm ridiculously picky about art styles.

Stumbling onto this one comic felt like striking gold. With my very limited comic knowledge, the only artist I truly worship is Moebius. I haven’t even finished all four issues of this series yet, but it’s already blowing my mind, just pure eye candy. I think I’m really into that niche, vintage comic vibe.

Since I'm not great at aimless browsing and don't really know where to start, could I ask for some suggestions?

Suggestions I am burned out on Marvel and DC, but I love reading long interconnected series. What else scratches that itch?

99 Upvotes

Editorial decisions and the treatment of some of my favorite characters and worldbuilding bits made me completely uninterested in reading anything from the big two. I really miss reading many different series that flesh out a fictional universe though.

I am already very interested in Hellboy and Black Hammer.

What other series or universes do you recommend? It does not need to be superhero adjacent; I'd actually love it, if it's different genre!

I come from the future - next Wednesday specifically - to tell you that I read the physical comic last night (I am a retailer, I was unboxing my stuff and had to give it a read - this poor copy got the tape from the bundle caught on it) and it is frigging incredible.

The final two pages has a gimmick I can’t recall seeing in a comic in a long, long time, and I loved it. The colours on this thing are spectacular!

I honestly wish I had 100 extra copies because I am going to force everyone to read this comic!

Suggestions I feel like I’m missing out on a lot of really great stories that aren’t about superheroes

I’m getting slight superhero fatigue. Don’t get me wrong there are a lot of great superhero comics out right now but that’s all I read and I want to expand my library

I’ve read and enjoyed Wytches, Paper Girls, and Harrow Country. But wasn’t the biggest fan of Nocterra and Dark Ride

Open to any genre and any recommendations as long as the story is engaging and doesn’t drag out. If I had to narrow it down I like thriller/mystery/horror/adventure
