In this thread, I'll be torrenting all of the incredibly awesome comicbooks that you should be reading. Even if you don't like superhero books about Superman and Spider-Man teaming up to save the galaxy (especially if you don't like these books), I recommend you check out the stuff I'll be posting here.

Runaways

What would you do if you suddenly found out that your parents are Supervillians? Marvels acclaimed mini-series, Runaways, poses exactly that question. It's a very human take on superhero books as a group of teenagers struggles to come to terms with the enormous weight that was dumped into their collective laps. The artwork is really nice and it's a very solid read.

Y: the Last Man

DC/Vertigo's new monthly title, "Y: the Last Man" has been a surprise hit, and with good reason: It's a brilliantly told story that re-examines gender roles, sexuality, and human reactions to tragedy... all while chronicling the adventures of an amatuer escape artist and his pet monkey.

No, really, it's good. I promise. :)

Ok, Im on it. Thanks :)

(I was a little hesitant at first, because you did not post file size, and I have a crapload of torrents running for the moment. Oh, and where can I find the tracker stats for this torrent?)

Excellent thanks! :D

HOLY CRAP, this is a great series! It shows the potential of comics as a media when you have a really good story. Im about 1/3 through, and I cant stop reading it. I have to find out what happens next. Its very immersive and its like begging to be made into a movie or a TV series. I urge anyone reading this to check out this series, you will not regret it. Again, thanks a bunch Shawn!

Btw, the comics are in cbz format. For those not being familiar with it, its becoming the standard for comic scans, so you need a comic viewer to read them. I highly recommend CDisplay Sequential Image Viewer.

Its free, and can be downloaded from here:

Now seeding Runaways. You will need to be logged into http://sw-fans.net/ in order to download the torrent. This is a security measure, so sorry for any inconvenience there.

Sorry for the delay, just moving all of my files over to a new drive. Everything should be working now.

It seems to work now, thanks :)

Im also probably going to seed some stuff this weekend, just got to figure out what, and clear some bandwidth first (my line is always busy).

Edit: Oh, ok. No hurry. I will just keep the torrent open. It will finish when it finish

I want to DL this, but I'm at work. Do the torrents still work... so I can try at home?

Torrents are working. I'd suggest getting Runaways now, and I'll hop back on Y the Last Man to seed afterwards.

Just to slightly correct you, Runaways isn't as such a miniseries. It was selling badly, so it ended at #18 and is being relaunched with a season 2 in February. Both titles have the same writer as well :)

Im going to seed both "Y: the Last Man" and "Runaways" for a couple of days. Tomorrow, I will upload something too.

Make sure you're logged into http://sw-fans.net/forum/ when you try to download it. It's set to only allow downloads from that url.

I liked Runaways very much (thanks to all who helped make my DLing a torrent possible!) and am starting in on Y. Just read the first book - very intriguing premise. ^_^

edit: Finished Y - so good! I think I'll have to start buying it to keep up with the story. :thumbup
