Yeah I think someone recommended some of those before, I will have to try and read at least one.Azex said:
Thanks
I'll recommend what I'm currently reading:
Hellboy! Always Hellboy, it's too good not to check it out.
Also for the slightly nerdier aspect: The Flash Volume 3 (currently ongoing)
oh, and I have to throw in traditional recommendations for these BEASTS of graphic novels:
Just cause Alan Moore is awesome and these are his best work

You won't regret Hellboy. It's what got me into comics. I never read them before Hellboy (well, I'd read V for Vendetta before that, but nothing else).gamingsuper said:If it's too good not to check out you have got me there how can I resistReservoirAngel said:I'll recommend what I'm currently reading:

To be honest, it's my opinion that Mignola is right up there with Moore and to a slightly lesser extend Johns (writer of the current Flash comics) in terms of comic-book story-writing ability. Hellboy is just...amazing. Interesting, well-written AND an amazing art style to it.
Wow I sound like a fanboy now...I'll just slink back to my cave.
I see I am going to have to raid my friends house for some of his copies, its easier than going all the way too a shop (and cheaper)Zaverexus said:
Yeah I Will give it a go, Thanks
You won't regret it, best comic series I've read so fargamingsuper said:I see I am going to have to raid my friends house for some of his copies, its easier than going all the way too a shop (and cheaper)Zaverexus said:

There is only one Graphic Novel that has won a Pulitzer Prize. It changed the way people thought about comics, and is a thoughtful and disturbing story. Before it comics were considered just for kids, or at least kids that never grew up.
Maus: A Survivor's Tale, by Art Spiegelman.
No less a comic book personage than the great Alan Moore said "I have been convinced that Art Spiegelman is perhaps the single most important comic creator working within the field and in my opinion Maus represents his most accomplished work to date."

whilst in your cave if you think of any more recommendations they are welcome.
I will look into hellboy you have got me interested now.
Transmetropolitan is a pretty interesting and fun comic. It's pretty hard to describe but if you imagine 'Hunter S Thompson in a crazy awesome crapsack future' then you can kind of get a picture of it.
I'm liking the background info there.octafish said:
Gotta be honest with you I have never herd of it, but I suppose that is why I am asking everyone for help as I know little to nothing about this topic.
I will be on the look out for it and see if it takes my fancy.
Thanks
I am going to look up that up right now, just cause you said crapsack and it made me laugh.GiantRaven said:
Thanks for the recommendation
Watchmen
Transmetropolitan (10 part trade series, but worth it)
Kick-Ass (but don't hold your breath of for the sequel)
Batman Graphic novels: Year One, The Man who Laughs, The Long Halloween, Dark Victory, Hush, Mad Love, Dark Knight Returns (I'm a bit of a batman fan)
AVOID SCOTT PILGRIM

Aye aye, when I get round to reading I shall have to tell you what I think.Zaverexus said:You won't regret it, best comic series I've read so fargamingsuper said:I see I am going to have to raid my friends house for some of his copies, its easier than going all the way too a shop (and cheaper)Zaverexus said:

Having read Maus as a child, I can safely say that it definitely isn't a comic for children. What a sobering, albeit incredibly good, read...octafish said:
Ah but I can read Scott Pilgrim for free so major plus there for me cause I'm really cheap lolANImaniac89 said:
I liked the kick-ass film so I am going on a blind assumption that I will like the book.
I have just completed Arkham Asylum (the game, yeah I am that far behind the times) that is what got my thinking about reading comics/graphic novels in the first place.
thanks I will look into some of those
In the vein of superheroes, I'd wager a VERY tentative recommendation of Moon Knight (2006 onwards) cause I kind of liked it but it's not everyone's cup of tea by far.gamingsuper said:haha I have quite often ended up sounding like a fanboy, I just roll with it in the endReservoirAngel said:You won't regret Hellboy.

Also, a slightly less tentative one for something I haven't read anything of, but have heard good things about: Invincible Iron Man.
As I am 20 I think I will chance it, but I am a wimp so who knows how I will end upGiantRaven said:
If its good I will give it a go.
Dunno if it was a recommendation or not but as I have thanked everyone else as well you are not escaping one
thanks
