It's just one guys opinion...some cool choices there...It's totally cliche but yes...Alan Moore is one of the greatest....Watchmen is a god damn masterpiece of writing and artwork...and also...the original Katsuhiro Otomo's Akira books...breathtaking
I dont mean to be so offtopic but does anyone know a trick to get back into an Instagram account?? I was dumb lost the login password. I appreciate any tricks you can give me.
@Keaton Byron thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site thru google and I'm in the hacking process now. Takes a while so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
nah, hipsters arn't aloud to like anything new or recent. but seriously i was thinking the same thing, only thing he had that iv read was some of jack kirby's work lol
Why would anything recent be in the running for "greatest of all time" yet? You've got to let things marinate, digest and demonstrate their longevity, influence and unique power. You won't even feel the same about most stuff you love in your teens and twenties, in your 30's and 40's, even if you still enjoy it.
Arian hmn That and there is no such thing as *the* best comic, just a bunch of honorable mentions. Marvel and DC aren't the only people who write comics. Personally, I was surprised he didn't like Y the Last Man...
Two questions: 1) What is being blurred out in the corner? 2) How can he be an "expert" on comics if he doesn't know the background of the Comics Code Authority?
Two answers: 1. That's his porn collection 2. That's because he's a hipster probably only got to comics because of how popular they are now but didn't want to actually know or read the history of them and only read books that he thinks makes him superior than people who have read comics.
nate yule one of the most important beings in marvel lore and a great mystery story (original sin was great as a who killed the watcher story in my opinion) but yeah fuck this guy.
nate yule I mean you can say I don't like fantasy (in terms of Superhero lore) but to all everyone who does idiots and children?, I'm a short 5'2 pudgy Hispanic guy with a pencil mustache that wears superhero tee shirts all the damn time that makes me look like a farm helping nerd but even I look less of a nerd than this guy does.
How about moebius whole work? In my opinion (although I haven't really read that many comics) these were the best I've ever seen. Franco-belgian comics in general are my favorites but this one just sticks out. The artwork is fantastic, although he uses some motives very often and it feel like a repeat, but it's still super detailed and unique and creative. The stories are also very artsy and unique, he really creates his own universes.
I will have to go with 17 instead of just 10 titles: "Alpha" by Harder, "Batman: The Long Halloween" by Loeb, "Berlin" by Lutes, "Blankets" by Thompson, "Fun Home" by Bechdel, "Ghost World" by Clowes, "Jimmy Corrigan" by Ware, "Julius Corentin Acquefacques" by Mathieu, "Maus" by Spiegelman, "Persepolis" by Satrapi, "The Sandman" and "Violent Cases" by Gaiman, "Stalin's Spy in Tokyo" by Kreitz, "Town of Evening Calm, Country of Cherry Blossoms" by Kōno, "Understanding Comics" by McCloud, "V for Vendetta" and "Watchmen" by Moore. These are most likely the best comics I have ever read.
TheMadMattster there a bunch of comics that are not super serious; spiderman, young avengers Deadpool, Jsa, superior foes of spiderman, super hero comics haven't been completely super serious since the early 90s.they know when to enjoy themselves.
This is Hipster guide to comics (which is a great list). My list would go like this : 1 - Arkham Asylum 2 - Batman the Dark Knight 3 - Daredevil by Frank Miller 4 - Sin City 5 - Ronin 6 - Elektra Lives 7 - George Perez The New Teen Titans 8 - John Byrne's X-Men : Jean Grey's death 9 - John Byrne's X-men : Days of Future Past 10 - John Buscema's Thor vs Silver Surfer
yep omg I kinda had a crush with the main guy lol. there was a live action movie of it as well and it was equally weird tho the ending wasn't faithful to the manga.
+cloberpot Eightball is a tremendous comic series. It's an anthology of short stories. Some of it feels like David Lynch, some of it feels like it could be from Animaniacs or something. It blew my mind, growing up in the 90's, and it was a huge influence on me as a creator. Robert Crumb is amazing too. Watch Crumb, the movie. It's considered one of the best documentaries ever made. And if you hate Carl Barks duck comics you hate all the brilliant things it inspired, like the Indiana Jones movies. As for Maus, you might think it's "meh", but it's the only comic ever to win the Pulitzer Prize. This is a very good list, I'd say. And little of it is obscure in any real sense.
This video desperately needed a different title. It's actually pretty informative but it's just so obvious it's just his personal preference with nothing to back it up. With this title and Nick's attitude, the video becomes pointless. Oh well
+Mario Vera while he certainly created one of the biggest comic universes, some (myself included) may view the limited options of the artist in marvel as well as DC comics negative. Comic artists should create their own stuff and not draw characters as the chef wants them. Many actually despise super hero comics for this
Really don't get the hate for this guy? The braggadocio was clearly tongue-in-cheek, and the list was very solid. Are all you manchildren upset because he made fun of your silly-serious superhero flicks?
high concentration of books published by Fantagraphics, complete omission of bande dessinee, only one fumetti (from Fantagraphics). This is an unimaginative list.
Nick, I genuinely enjoyed this video. Just added a few items to my wish list. Where do you stand on Alan Moore? I'd like to see another video explaining these comics vs traditional superhero comics.
Dear VICE, I found this presenter to be boring and irritating. His mustache is also very douchey. Please never let him in front of a camera again. Sincerely, EVERYONE
+WiSe Realm If I let people who leave comments on CZcams videos steer my choices I might turn into the kind of person who calls themselves Wise Realm On the Internet and nobody wants that. I'm here to educate and make you better, not give you validation. I'm right.
+Nicholas Gazin Well, you're right on that about not letting people's opinions change yours. I respect that. Sorry for being rude, I must recognize my mistakes. I should know that by being rude I just make the other person mad and won't consider my opinion, so I must stop being like that. But still, I don't thinkyour video can be considered Education, maybe Information, yes. But anyway, hope you forgive me for my rude behaviour and I also hope you look past the aggressive comments and try to understand why lots of people saw you as a hipster and all that.
i can agree with nick on the "stan lee taking credit" from other artists during marvel's golden years. jack kirby created the marvel universe and jack kirby also created stan lee.
Somebody fucking remembers. They weren't cute. They killed people with their weapons. Casey was a metal masked fucking maniac vigilante killer. It didn't have pastel colors, the original Eastman and Laird black and whites was kinda nice. They all had identical outfits, marking someone individually, is not very ninja.
I know I’m Nothing compared To all the other comments, But I absolutely feel that he is correct with this list of top 10. Hernandez bro’s; Daniel clowes, r. Crumb, and Mad magazine. These are the essential pieces of literature that helped me mold into the person I am today. And I wouldn’t change that for the world!
They aren't on the list cuz they're hack stories. Most of them are ripped off from hack radio shows. Embrace embarrassing hack material at your own peril and avoid mentioning nerdiness while lobbying to have your favorite comics put on a comic book list.
10. X-Force (Rob Liefeld, because not only is he the creator of Deadpool, but since he created Cable, you see Cable-influence everywhere even to this day such as the military guy antagonist from the movie 'Avatar' and the Doom franchise) 9. Batman vs Bane 8. Superman's death (until they brought him back and mad Shaq into a super hero) 7. The X-Cutioner Song (mini-series) 6. Spawn 5. Spiderman (Todd McFarlane) 4. X-Men (Jim Lee) 3. Infinity Gauntlet (mini-series Because it broke all established Marvel rules) 2. Mad Magazine 1. The Farside (best comic ever)
Just another hipster with an opinion. No Moebius, No Albert Uderzo, No Neal Adams, No Grant Morrison, No Neil Gaiman, No Alan Moore, No Chris Claremont, No Frank Miller, No Junji Ito. This gentleman is not the rightest man in the world.
This was actually a really relevant list. From a 12 year vet in the industry we have a lot in common. I would have put Stray Bullets in there though. =D
Why do people get so fucking angry with these videos man? Just enjoy them. It's not an insult to your personal opinion. Read the books you like and if you don't like the ones this fella likes...Well. It's just a fucking video. Calm down people.
I thought it was going to be entirely one dimensional and slice of life, indie cartooning picks, but it got better. Also, the military and law enforcement are just people in colorful costumes, Nick. Maybe says a lot.
Ghost Genius?? That my friend is a Watcher. Nerd Foul noted. Also what about Moebius and Jodorowsky, Warren Ellis, Alan Moore, Grant Morrison, Neil Gaiman, and Heavy Metal Magazine??
kirby also created the new god for DC which was an incredibly influential comics that DC still has its characters in its main stream today. also so read swampthing, maus, sandman etc if you want great non traditional super hero comics
I'm a huge comic book nerd and Maus and the fanatic four issue are the only ones I would see as none hipster shit, and even then I won't put them as the greatest comics, I wouldn't put maus on the list same way I wouldn't put a single issue on itself as the greatest comic, this hipster obviously doesn't know of paperback trades and also fuck his collection and his mustache as well.
So unbelievably sad that mad magazine is gone and a whole generation of kids and artists will never know what a beacon it was. My name is Elgin subway surfer Bolling. Your Creative Caricature marketing consultant, I am a professional caricature, artist, entertainer, artist, and my skill was weaned on on Mad Magazine I have the envious distinction of actually being drawn by Tom Richmond himself and put in an episode of the parody” everybody hates Chris” every caricature artist I knew was influenced by Mad Magazine. God only knows what influencing them now.
This guy's logic is if it's old it's clearly superior. Also try not to sound like you're gonna fall asleep while talking about things that you supposedly find exciting.
I took this video for what it is. A random guy whos giving his opinion about something he likes and throwing jabs at people who don't share his view (like every single person on youtube comments). I'm an adult who likes superhero movies. He called me dumb. I didn't care or cry. I enjoyed this list. I don't take it as gospel. Well done.
no alan moore ? how is that even possible?
Alan Moore would agree with a lot of what he said though.
@@flaggerify and how the fuck would you know that?
It's just one guys opinion...some cool choices there...It's totally cliche but yes...Alan Moore is one of the greatest....Watchmen is a god damn masterpiece of writing and artwork...and also...the original Katsuhiro Otomo's Akira books...breathtaking
I mean I agree but it is kinda refreshing to see Watchmen not even mentioned anywhere even tho it is the best comic book ever written
louisaahh watch his list of best horror
Did he tie a helpless maiden to some railroad tracks on his way to the studio?
moonman moonman can't you see
...and he rode one of those bicycles with a REALLY big front wheel.
+neversawthatcoming Lol funny af visualisation joke.
winner
Bitch should have payed the rent .
saw the mustache, knew exactly the kind of list that would follow
I dont mean to be so offtopic but does anyone know a trick to get back into an Instagram account??

@Keaton Byron it did the trick and I finally got access to my account again. Im so happy!
Thank you so much, you saved my ass!
@Trenton Dash no problem xD
This guys is the definition of condescending hipster.
That's pretty much most of Vice's staff.
That actually looks good on your C.V. when your applying at Vice.
hit the nail on the head
Its vice what do you expect
Moebius, Pratt, Hermann, Bilal, Janjetov...
Yes! (Plus Jodorowsky, Gaiman and Morrison)
4:34 Talk’s about about Jack Kirby, camera zooms in on a cover by John Romita jr.
I would add: EC Comics (Pre Comic's Code Authority), Watchmen (Everything Alan Moore), Akira, everything Moebius and Heavy Metal Magazine.
Thig guy definitely says things like "M'Lady"
M'douchebag.
+Nicholas Gazin Hahahahahahahahaha,..........
and then tips his hat
title should've read "10 top comics that hipsters like to use to prove how edgy they are"
Sadly
Consoul Yes because Scrooge McDuck is an emo icon
best one
Shot's fired....
They're actually all really good
No Frank Miller, Heavy Metal or Moebius at all?! I'm disappointed.
Moebius is so overrated. Druillet is the real genius.
People that dont get that this is a joke, is obviously just comics he love, even the presentation meke it clear, it wasnt supossed to by objective.
vice knew people would get all shitty about it,......and it worked'!!!!
ronniebillhicks Well, is the internet after all.
Joseph CroenianGamer right'?
No ...he is just right
It's obviously a joke. It's just not a good one.
basically leaving out all the fantasy, sci-fi, european, asian and latin american master pieces and focusing on comix
could you recommend some sci-fi comics? its my favorite genre
@@krow8940 try space mullet or saga, you will LOVE saga
@@krow8940 metabarons written by Jodorowsky and drawn by gimenez. It's basically a comic book version of what Jodorowskys Dune movie was meant to be.
@@krow8940 The Incal
This is list for someone who thinks they know a lot about comics, but who actually has a very shallow knowledge of the medium.
I understand what you mean , but can you elaborate a little bit.
Wow bro u are so edgy omgg
thats pretty hilarious because i think its quite the opposite
Why all the hate? I will check some of those comics out!
Yo my man! Anything from the 21st Century?
my thoughts exactly. I'll forgive him because he's clearly a hipster.
nah, hipsters arn't aloud to like anything new or recent.
but seriously i was thinking the same thing, only thing he had that iv read was some of jack kirby's work lol
Why would anything recent be in the running for "greatest of all time" yet? You've got to let things marinate, digest and demonstrate their longevity, influence and unique power. You won't even feel the same about most stuff you love in your teens and twenties, in your 30's and 40's, even if you still enjoy it.
Sandman easily trumps anything on that list and most would call that recent, take off your rose coloured glasses
I wouldn't call Sandman recent and obviously not 21st century.
No 2000 a.d !?! You are a laughing stock sunshine. Alan Moore, Neil Gaiman, Grant Morrison, Garth Ennis etc...
He didn't put any European comics on his list... Not only 2000 AD, but also Moebius and Métal hurlant (Heavy Metal)...
i like him, not sure why everyone is getting so wound up about this.
It's a comment section that ranks pop culture, these sorts of things always get pretty heated.
Especially when the person doing so is as sarcastic as he is.
Because he didn't mention Mr. Super Gritty Frank Miller and/or TDKR.
ebere213 Or modern favourites... i guess some people forget that comics didn't start in the late 80s.
Arian hmn That and there is no such thing as *the* best comic, just a bunch of honorable mentions. Marvel and DC aren't the only people who write comics.
Personally, I was surprised he didn't like Y the Last Man...
Two questions:
1) What is being blurred out in the corner?
2) How can he be an "expert" on comics if he doesn't know the background of the Comics Code Authority?
Two answers:
1. That's his porn collection
2. That's because he's a hipster probably only got to comics because of how popular they are now but didn't want to actually know or read the history of them and only read books that he thinks makes him superior than people who have read comics.
He called the Watcher A "magic space guy" I'm fairly positive this guy has very little knowledge of anything substantial in comics.
nate yule one of the most important beings in marvel lore and a great mystery story (original sin was great as a who killed the watcher story in my opinion) but yeah fuck this guy.
***** Like seriously who the fuck does this uhh... i cant even remeber that dudes name but what you said for sure.
nate yule I mean you can say I don't like fantasy (in terms of Superhero lore) but to all everyone who does idiots and children?, I'm a short 5'2 pudgy Hispanic guy with a pencil mustache that wears superhero tee shirts all the damn time that makes me look like a farm helping nerd but even I look less of a nerd than this guy does.
What number was Alan Moore?
How about moebius whole work? In my opinion (although I haven't really read that many comics) these were the best I've ever seen. Franco-belgian comics in general are my favorites but this one just sticks out.
The artwork is fantastic, although he uses some motives very often and it feel like a repeat, but it's still super detailed and unique and creative.
The stories are also very artsy and unique, he really creates his own universes.
I agree, when he moebed all over the place, it was exhilarating.
I was super disappointed he didn't mention Mobius or Jodorowski.
Americans don't read anything beyond their own borders according to this video.
This guys weird as fuck and I love him. More of these please.
so much butthurt people on the comments, I'm actually enjoying this ride, hope we hear something from him again
yeah...it's just one guys opinion...like grow the fuck up....he's got some cool picks but yeah...
Should’ve said “Most important alternative comics”
I will have to go with 17 instead of just 10 titles:
"Alpha" by Harder, "Batman: The Long Halloween" by Loeb, "Berlin" by Lutes, "Blankets" by Thompson, "Fun Home" by Bechdel, "Ghost World" by Clowes, "Jimmy Corrigan" by Ware, "Julius Corentin Acquefacques" by Mathieu, "Maus" by Spiegelman, "Persepolis" by Satrapi, "The Sandman" and "Violent Cases" by Gaiman, "Stalin's Spy in Tokyo" by Kreitz, "Town of Evening Calm, Country of Cherry Blossoms" by Kōno, "Understanding Comics" by McCloud, "V for Vendetta" and "Watchmen" by Moore.
These are most likely the best comics I have ever read.
What no sandman ,DC kingdom come or watchmen ?
Also the death of captain marvel, jack Kirby's new gods, infinite crisis and batman earth one... Seriously this guy is ethier a hipster or a troll.
+darnell henriquez nah you got no taste. I'm right.
he says in the video he doesnt like the super serious comics (in reference to the serious movies being made)
TheMadMattster there a bunch of comics that are not super serious; spiderman, young avengers Deadpool, Jsa, superior foes of spiderman, super hero comics haven't been completely super serious since the early 90s.they know when to enjoy themselves.
This is Hipster guide to comics (which is a great list).
My list would go like this :
1 - Arkham Asylum
2 - Batman the Dark Knight
3 - Daredevil by Frank Miller
4 - Sin City
5 - Ronin
6 - Elektra Lives
7 - George Perez The New Teen Titans
8 - John Byrne's X-Men : Jean Grey's death
9 - John Byrne's X-men : Days of Future Past
10 - John Buscema's Thor vs Silver Surfer
this guy knows his shit about alternative comics but his moustache is gonna get people on the internet real angry
not comic comics, but any manga by Junji Ito is worth checking out
Spirals was amazing
yep omg I kinda had a crush with the main guy lol. there was a live action movie of it as well and it was equally weird tho the ending wasn't faithful to the manga.
Iv'e read all his work, he's a better artist than most of these people...
*****
the art is beautiful, thanks for the reco I will check that out
qwertylee I agree with adapted. That is a really good read.
what no 2000ad the comic so many people first started collecting in a serial format , the joy of an American review
aaah, the life of a delta male
Omega and we're being generous lol
That's it. I'm gonna shave.
a video never confused me as much as this did.
Nick, can you do a top 10 contemporary comics that don't suck? Thanks!
It's impossible
+cloberpot yes. Only pretentious idiots criticise mainstream tastes. Real men like the same boring shit as everyone else
+cloberpot Eightball is a tremendous comic series. It's an anthology of short stories. Some of it feels like David Lynch, some of it feels like it could be from Animaniacs or something. It blew my mind, growing up in the 90's, and it was a huge influence on me as a creator. Robert Crumb is amazing too. Watch Crumb, the movie. It's considered one of the best documentaries ever made. And if you hate Carl Barks duck comics you hate all the brilliant things it inspired, like the Indiana Jones movies. As for Maus, you might think it's "meh", but it's the only comic ever to win the Pulitzer Prize. This is a very good list, I'd say. And little of it is obscure in any real sense.
I think that top ten list would be 4 comics
check out: Dungeon by Joann Sfar and Lewis Trondheim its my favorite comic of all time
#1: Watchmen
#2: Akira
#3: Fables
Hipsters = cancer
Vice = cancer
Alan-Moore-ignoring hipster

+Mario Vera while he certainly created one of the biggest comic universes, some (myself included) may view the limited options of the artist in marvel as well as DC comics negative. Comic artists should create their own stuff and not draw characters as the chef wants them.
Many actually despise super hero comics for this

Because you are wrong, you say you are right because that is wrong.
Nicholas Gazin
Hey. I, for one, appreciate the recommendations. But, you know. What I said earlier.
Really don't get the hate for this guy? The braggadocio was clearly tongue-in-cheek, and the list was very solid. Are all you manchildren upset because he made fun of your silly-serious superhero flicks?
This is list seems pretty reasonable
wait
high concentration of books published by Fantagraphics, complete omission of bande dessinee, only one fumetti (from Fantagraphics). This is an unimaginative list.
Nick, I genuinely enjoyed this video. Just added a few items to my wish list. Where do you stand on Alan Moore?
I'd like to see another video explaining these comics vs traditional superhero comics.
Ask him on Twitter.
"if you disagree with me, remember Im right your wrong" hahaha
no Charles Burns???????
His choices started off well w/Panter, Raw and Love and Rockets but got steadily less interesting.
0:23 "comic sexpert"
Positively surprised to see Carl Barks in the middle of all that weird experimental shit
He's the VICE art editor alright
The lack of Alan Moore is unnerving
Anyone like memes
i like memes
Hell yah I'm in the right comment section
only if dank enough
100% ＤＡＮＫ ＭＥＭＥＳ™
Vaughn Bode would be on my list somewhere
so The Watcher = Ghost Genius, hmmm not sure if hes being sarcastic bout being a comic expert or hes just sarcastic bout being a comic expert
I kept hoping to see Neil Gaiman's Sandman on the list
this seams more like a 10 best comic writers of all time. or is it just me ?
+Mathew Kevern you're wrong, and he's right
yeah no mention of Brian K Vaughan is lauaghable
Nah. He listed entire companies, brands and magazines, not authors.
Almost 5 years later and Nick is still right.
I don't usually give dislikes to videos but when they don't even mention Alan Moore in a top 10 graphic novel list...
Who?
google is your friend. Hint: "V for Vendetta" and "Watchmen"
either you're being Sarcastic, or just plain stupid
Explain please
Why ?
Tank Girl shoulda been in there. Props to the Wuvable Oaf t-shirt though.
Dear VICE,

The Ninja Turtles were cute little animals? The original Ninja Turtles were bloodthirsty violent killers.
Somebody fucking remembers. They weren't cute. They killed people with their weapons. Casey was a metal masked fucking maniac vigilante killer. It didn't have pastel colors, the original Eastman and Laird black and whites was kinda nice. They all had identical outfits, marking someone individually, is not very ninja.
Malakkar Vohryzek Straight up.
I know I’m
Nothing compared
To all the other comments,
But I absolutely feel that he is correct with this list of top 10.
Hernandez bro’s; Daniel clowes, r. Crumb, and Mad magazine. These are the essential pieces of literature that helped me mold into the person I am today. And I wouldn’t change that for the world!
You mentioned MAD, but you didn't mention the EC horror comics?! You're not right, you're mad!
P.S. Otherwise, it's a good list.
Read more than ten EC comics (not stories, comics...not best of collections, comics) in a row. You'll know why they aren't on the list.
Wow, that sure is a huge assumption you've made of me, 64PageSpecial. Pure nerd arrogance... I love it.
They aren't on the list cuz they're hack stories. Most of them are ripped off from hack radio shows. Embrace embarrassing hack material at your own peril and avoid mentioning nerdiness while lobbying to have your favorite comics put on a comic book list.
Hahaha, I used to work at a comic book store myself, so I know where you're coming from. Cute.
You are wrong. Understanding comics by Scott McCloud should totally be in the 10!
You guys... Just be kind with your criticism.
For me... I really liked this video, Nick :)
Wow this really is a comic book video by VICE isn't it? "Alternative" is said 837 times
Top 10 most influential/important comics.
not best
10. X-Force (Rob Liefeld, because not only is he the creator of Deadpool, but since he created Cable, you see Cable-influence everywhere even to this day such as the military guy antagonist from the movie 'Avatar' and the Doom franchise)
9. Batman vs Bane
8. Superman's death (until they brought him back and mad Shaq into a super hero)
7. The X-Cutioner Song (mini-series)
6. Spawn
5. Spiderman (Todd McFarlane)
4. X-Men (Jim Lee)
3. Infinity Gauntlet (mini-series Because it broke all established Marvel rules)
2. Mad Magazine
1. The Farside (best comic ever)
Tbh I really appreciated this list. It’s a different taste and I can tell this was personal, definitely worth a watch.
Can’t believe this dude opens his omnibuses with the dust covers on.
100% on point! Great job!
Just another hipster with an opinion. No Moebius, No Albert Uderzo, No Neal Adams, No Grant Morrison, No Neil Gaiman, No Alan Moore, No Chris Claremont, No Frank Miller, No Junji Ito. This gentleman is not the rightest man in the world.
Guess vice viewers can't take satire.
Sandman? Akira? Jojo's? Invincible? The Incal? Watchmen? Miracleman? Animal man? Y the last man? Daytripper?
This was actually a really relevant list. From a 12 year vet in the industry we have a lot in common. I would have put Stray Bullets in there though. =D
I'm just glad he mentioned Jack Kirby. I could care less about the moustache.
no 2000AD okay then
Why do people get so fucking angry with these videos man? Just enjoy them. It's not an insult to your personal opinion. Read the books you like and if you don't like the ones this fella likes...Well. It's just a fucking video. Calm down people.
Hate always made me laugh as a child
I thought it was going to be entirely one dimensional and slice of life, indie cartooning picks, but it got better.
Also, the military and law enforcement are just people in colorful costumes, Nick. Maybe says a lot.
I realized I don't know shit about comics.
same here
You and a bunch of other people, which is probably why all the butthurt
Mr. Nick, what is your opinion on Alan Moore's work?
love you Nick
i love you Nick fuck these guys
Ghost Genius?? That my friend is a Watcher. Nerd Foul noted. Also what about Moebius and Jodorowsky, Warren Ellis, Alan Moore, Grant Morrison, Neil Gaiman, and Heavy Metal Magazine??
i love this series. please make more, this guy is hilarious.
04:40 a rare Stan Lee diss. I was surprised to find out Bob Kane ripped off Bill Finger, I hope this isn't the same situation.
kirby also created the new god for DC which was an incredibly influential comics that DC still has its characters in its main stream today. also so read swampthing, maus, sandman etc if you want great non traditional super hero comics
I was sure Zap would be on there
i'll stick to Fables and Preacher . your top 10 list is cringe-worthy
I'd sacrifice a limb for a good fables movie
Why is this getting so much hate! I just love the presentation style :)

Weaboo
well thats just like your opinion man
lolo @ being called a weabo for not reading news paper comics. Sorry but I enjoy a good bit of depth and plot to what I read. Not mindless bullshit.
I just read maus, i think it should have been higher in your list
It's good but I praised the stuff that I felt served as the widest foundation for future works as well as being pretty or entertaining on their own.
you have shitty tastes in comics.
+Brick Tamland no I right.

NAH *tips fedora*
No but seriously what about The Sandman and Watchmen?
List = fail
I'm a huge comic book nerd and Maus and the fanatic four issue are the only ones I would see as none hipster shit, and even then I won't put them as the greatest comics, I wouldn't put maus on the list same way I wouldn't put a single issue on itself as the greatest comic, this hipster obviously doesn't know of paperback trades and also fuck his collection and his mustache as well.
What's the elevator music song towards the middle?
If this was any other channel I would think this is a parody video. What a horrible list.
So unbelievably sad that mad magazine is gone and a whole generation of kids and artists will never know what a beacon it was. My name is Elgin subway surfer Bolling. Your Creative Caricature marketing consultant, I am a professional caricature, artist, entertainer, artist, and my skill was weaned on on Mad Magazine I have the envious distinction of actually being drawn by Tom Richmond himself and put in an episode of the parody” everybody hates Chris” every caricature artist I knew was influenced by Mad Magazine. God only knows what influencing them now.
This guy's logic is if it's old it's clearly superior. Also try not to sound like you're gonna fall asleep while talking about things that you supposedly find exciting.
You lost track of what you were trying to say by sentence two.
I took this video for what it is. A random guy whos giving his opinion about something he likes and throwing jabs at people who don't share his view (like every single person on youtube comments). I'm an adult who likes superhero movies. He called me dumb. I didn't care or cry. I enjoyed this list. I don't take it as gospel. Well done.
