Your Favorite Comic Book/ Graphic novel?

what is it? i want recommendations! ive read watchmen and surrogates. thats it. i bought batman year one but it still has yet to come in the mail. what are some of your favorite ones?

Spawn.. sSubZerOo

Akira by Katsuhiro Otomo

It depends what your into, my favorite of all time is the original Hulk by "The King" Jack Kirby and Stan Lee. Batman Year One is good but really Frank Miller is overrated, at least to me. If Mr. Miller is the reason that you bought that you should read his Daredevil run also. Also Grant Morrison's Doom Patrol run is heady stuff. For pure comic book fun, Savage Dragon is an excellent choice. I could go on for quite some time.

The last series I read was Transmetropolitan by Warren Ellis and Darick Robinson, but that was almost 3 years ago.

Haha preacher was gold back in the day, as well as spawn, watchmen, batman: the killing joke, V for vendetta

Rurouni Kenshin and Trigun Maximum, if manga counts.

I also love Spawn.

Death of Captain America (Ed Brubaker)

Sin City (Frank Miller)

Spider-man: Kraven's Last Hunt (J. M. DeMatteis)

Criminal (Ed Brubaker)

Incognito (Ed Brubaker)

...... Basically anything by Ed Brubaker. :P

I haven't read just a whole lot, but I really liked watchmen, and still do, its just more mainstream now so nerds think I'm a **** for liking it all of a sudden.

Sandman book 6: Fables& Reflections

mostly because of the stories

Three Septembers and a January, and Ramadan

1. Batman: The Long Halloween
2. Sin City (the collection)
3. Watchmen
4. All-Star Superman
5. Star Wars

I'd have to go with Old Man Logan, that was such a fantastic graphic novel.

Currently reading, "Y The Last Man" graphic novel. It's pretty good so far. A couple others that seem like good reads (I haven't read them yet, but am planning on picking them up) are: "100 Bullets" and "The Walking Dead." My favorite comic series growing up were Spider-Man, and X-Men. Might want to pick up a few of the classic stories like "God Loves, Man Kills" and "The Dark Phoenix Saga."

In addition to Preacher by Garth Ennis others have mentioned I will also say these others are favorite comic books and GN's.

• Transmetropolitan by Warren Ellis
• The Dark Knight Returns and Batman: Year One by Frank Miller
• Daredevil by Brian Michael Bendis and Ed Brubaker
• Criminal by Ed Brubaker
• The Walking Dead by Robert Kirkman
• Fables by Bill Williamham
• 100 Bullets by Brian Azzarello
• All-Star Superman by Grant Morrison
• New Gods by Jack Kirby
• Girl by Kevin J. Taylor
• G.I. Joe (Marvel Comics 1982-94) by Larry Hama
• Hellboy by Mike Mignola
• The Goon by Eric Powell

There's more but would make this list waaaay to long.

1. Batman: The Long Halloween
2. Sin City (the collection)
3. Watchmen
4. All-Star Superman
5. Star Wars

really? I read like the first 60 and boy did they suck. The art is truly stellar but the writing is just atrocious! Anyways, the best Comic/Graphic novels by far are Sandman and Lucifer.II_Seraphim_II

Preacher and The Walking Dead are among my favorites.

Some great ones:

V for Vendetta - Alan Moore
Swamp Thing - Alan Moore (6 or 7 volumes)
The Sandman - Neil Gaiman (10 volumes)
Preacher - Ennis (9 volumes)
Sin City - Frank Miller (7 volumes, first 4 are incredible last 3 are okay)
Y: The Last Man - Vaughan (10 volumes)

Of those, I'd say I most strongly recommend V for Vendetta, The Sandman, and Preacher.

Dave Sim's "High Soceity" collected story arc is probably my favorite graphic novel. Dave Sim is the Dostoevsky of the comic book world and is criminally underrated these days. After that a few of my top picks would be:

• Mage by Matt Wagner
• Lucifer's Halo by Michael Linsner
• Hellboy by Mike Mignola
• The Goon by Eric Powell
• Locas by Jaime Hernandez
• Those Annoying Post Brothers by Matt Howarth
• Black Hole by Charles Burns
