what comics should I be reading?

[ursula]

My more ambitious weekend plans were derailed by a stronger-than-anticipated reaction to the updated Moderna vaccine (nothing major, I just wasn't anticipating anything more than a sore arm), so instead of cooking a complicated layered thing with polenta and eggplant, I ordered sushi and read the final volume of The Wicked + the Divine on the back deck, watching a combination of sunset and stormclouds illuminate the neighbor's fluffy pine.

This means I am out of comic! And--rare and fortunate in the present day--I have a really good local comic store on my walk home from work. What should I read next?

Some parameters:

• I'm finding I really like reading a longer arc one collected volume at a time.
  
• I haven't historically been a comics reader, so you can suggest obvious things.
  
• I'm not really into superheroes, and don't intend to start.

Fables - many collected volumes. The author has just put them all in the public domain, so you might be able to find electronic copies.

The author says he has, but he doesn't own the rights to the already published works, only to the characters, so it only allows new derivative works... only there's an argument that he doesn't have the right to allow that either, so DC may come after you anyway for your Fables fanfic.

Ah! Thank you. I hadn't realised that was what was going on. I saw a reblog of a screencap of probably twitter, and have apparently taken the wrong info from it.
