I'm reading Samurai Executioner. INCREDIBLE! I don't say that lightly. The amount of research seems staggering. I'm in love with the art too; just ink and paper, none of that digital crap that the big two are pushing.

Alan Moore - Providence, Act 1. This is pretty dense stuff. I tip my hat to Moore for not allowing any ads in this.
Katsuhiro Otomo - Akira 6.
It is incredibly well illustrated, action-packed and touching.
New issues of American Vampire and The Wicked + The Devine were really good.

Recently finished Fables Vol 12 and 13, and Prophet Vol. 5 Earth War. Prophet was so damned trippy, I love it. I bought a few Daredevil books when Marvel had a sale on their digital titles.
Just re-read Swamp Thing by Scott Snyder. The man can write a good horror story, no doubt. I also re-read Trees vol. 1 by Warren Ellis and picked up Poe Dameron: Black Squadron from the library. It looks all right. It's a prequel to The Force Awakens.
I don't know if my OCD tendencies would allow it.

I got started with Image comics and skybound because of the Walking Dead. I now read Redneck, Outcast and God Country. They are freaking awesome!

Picked up Trillium by Jeff Lemire because I was intrigued by the premise and I really enjoyed his series, Sweet Tooth.
I'm enjoying it so far, but I'm not digging the artwork.
Lemire's art is cool but it gets old really fast. His characters in whatever the new book he just put out look exactly like the ones from whatever the previous book was.
Just read Batman and Beast by Peter Milligan, and The Magical Twins by Jodorowsky. The former was pretty good, the latter not so much.
I finished Trillium and I'm not even sure what I read. That shit got too crazy.
Just started Descender by Jeff Lemire.
Descender Vol 1: Tin Stars is fucking awesome. I've got to get my hands on the rest of this series right now.
Latest pick ups:
Descender Vol. 1
Dark Night
Preacher Book. 6
I'm not really a reader of comics or graphic novels, but stumbled across Alan Moore's Providence, the artwork for which (combined with my affinity for Lovecraft) I found very intriguing. Looking into it, I discovered The Courtyard and Neonomicon and figured I should probably start with those.
Having not yet bought or read any of them, I wanted to check out the writing just to make sure it actually suited me (I found a sample online of V for Vendetta; unfortunately, it was very much not for me), and since Barnes & Noble and Amazon don't seem to have the usual "look inside" samples for these, I had to resort to image searches. This did turn up some results, but they are pretty scattered (one page here, one there; ideally, I'd like to see the first five pages or so). Also, I can't be sure that everything I find is actually from these works; sometimes, related works by Moore or other Cthulhu mythos works turn up.
The big issue is this, however: a few things that turned up were pornographic (male genitals - which is not to say that I want to see female ones), one of them very much so (featuring the plentiful, shall we say, "result" of male genitals). My question to any of you who have read the Courtyard/Neonomicon/Providence series: is there much of that? Or (hopefully) none (perhaps this was something else)? This would be a deal-breaker; I don't enjoy this type of thing (although if it's just one scene, I'll accept it), and my wife would definitely wonder what the hell I was doing by buying such stuff.
In the village all the children running home
- they sing hymns that haunt them when they're all alone.
See, with Neonomicon that stuff is there but that's not what the story is about at all. I could tell you exactly what the scene is but it's best experienced while you're reading. That scene --the book actually-- will haunt you. I believe every story in HPL's mythos should or it hasn't done it's job.
Moore has decided a long time ago he doesn't care about our sensibilities. Those three titles all have pornographic elements but they're there only to make the reader even more unsettled and unnerved.
How much would you say is there? Just a few pages, limited to a scene or two, or recurring regularly?

Correction: there's nothing pornographic in Courtyard.
His Yuggoth Cultures and Other Growths is excellent too.
