I stumbled upon a list of the (supposedly) best cyberpunk comics. The list started out with the expected well-known manga like Ghost in the Shell and Akira, but then they listed Shatter and Hard-Boiled. And I’d never heard of either of them. So I’m curious if anyone here has read and would recommend either of these comics.

I guess Shatter was the first commercially available comic fully illustrated on a computer (rather than drawing by hand and scanning into a computer). So it was created on one of the first Apple computers, back when there were maybe 3 fonts to choose from. All that doesn’t really matter to me though, I only care if it has a good story and is cyberpunk.

Hard-Boiled, on the other hand, has Frank Miller’s name attached to it. So I just assume it’s a good, well-written story. My only question is how cyberpunk it is. I guess I could read it on Hoopla and find out for myself, but I’d like to hear other people’s opinion on it before I dive in.
