Favorite graphic novels

[Johanthemonster666]

I know many here enjoy graphic novels like "V for Vendetta" "Watchmen" and so on.

Which are your tops favorites?

I'm a fan of unconventional graphic novels like Joe Sacco's "Footnotes in Gaza" and Art Spielgelman's "Maus" books.
I even enjoy "Persopolis" by Marijane Satrapi.


Here's a link to well known graphic novels (Don't yell at me if they don' have your fav in here, it's just link to a list of typical/popular ones.

House of M.

Mutants ruling earth with humans being oppressed. Yes.

 

[manythings]

Any of Neil Gaimans stuff, Books of Magic, Neverwhere.

Hush.

 

[Artina89]

I like "Sin city", "Doktor Sleepless", "The walking Dead" and "Joker". The problem that I have with graphic novels is that they can be really expensive.

 

[Outright Villainy]

Well I'm about halfway through watchmen now in fact, and I'd say that's definitely my favourite already. I'm very much wishing I hadn't seen the movie so I wouldn't know what happens...

 

[Julianking93]

Sin City
Strange Embrace
Joker
Black Hole
Watchmen
Marvel Knights: Spiderman

 

[rosemystica]

The Sandman series, definitely. (I count them as graphic novels, but if nobody else counts them, I'd go with DC's Kingdom Come or Books of Magic.)

 

[Caligulove]

Transmetropolitan
The Sandman
Kingdom Come.
Pride of Baghdad
Superman - Red Son
Batman - The Long Halloween
Preacher

Wont be winning the indie or underground award for taste, but I love them

Watchmen for me, as it's the only I've ever read/seen.

 

[E.X.D.]

Sandman
JTHM
Chicken with Plums
Ojo
Ghost World
Scott Pilgrim (Don't think I'll like the movie)
Ronin
Tankgirl
Tropo
Sock Monkey
Destiny: A chronicle of deaths foretold
Blood: A Tale
Grrrl Scouts
Top 13 off the top of my head.

They changed the ending, drastically, so you'll still be shocked.

Watchmen is pretty awesome, but I'd have to say Maus (Parts I and II) for my favorite. During a holocaust unit we had in school, I elected to read this instead of Anne Frank. Finally, a story of someone who survived the holocaust, not just sat in a room and complained for two years.

 

[Vuljatar]

The Dark Knight Returns and Runaways (at least the first volume)

 

[SturmDolch]

I've only read V for Vendetta and I liked it... I would read more, but I prefer to read books where I can imagine it for myself.

 

[Harlemura]

Some Batman one called "The long holiday" or something.
Only one I've got. Thought it was pretty good.

I'm a fan of unconventional graphic novels like Joe Sacco's "Footnotes in Gaza" and Art Spielgelman's "Maus" books.
I even enjoy "Persopolis" by Marijane Satrapi.

If you like Satrapi's work you'd love Chicken With Plums, it's by her.

 

[Enigmers]

I really liked High Moon and Watchmen.

 

[AceAngel]

There are TOO many, like Fungi in a the forest!

Hmm, maybe "I Kill Giants" right now.

 

[ProfessorLayton]

Sin City and Watchmen, obviously. And the Walking Dead.
