Favourite Comic Book/Graphic Novel

Postby AdamC » Fri Jun 29, 2012 11:46 am

I think we discussed this a while back, but I'm not certain. Either way, it's a fun topic. :)

What's everyone's all time favourite comic book series/graphic novel?

I think mine is either Hellblazer: Dangerous Habits, or Y: The Last Man. :)

Maus

I'm surprise no one has said Sin City or Watchmen or Dark Knight Returns.

In all fairness I didn't see Mextro's whole comment just assumed it was one of those ridonculous long Daredevil titles.

Also does Alan Moore doesn't own the rights to V for Vendetta and Watchmen. He apparently sold his rights over to the artists of those series as he got ticked off about the movies. So actually, V for Vendetta and Watchmen aren't his work anymore.

I'm always a little embarrassed to admit it, but I'm not so much a comic reader as an X-Men reader. I'm well aware that there are a lot of great comics out there; I'm familiar with most of the titles mentioned above. Some of them are on my "to read" list. And that's about as far as it goes to date.

On the other hand, I really connected with the X-Men when I was younger, and now I've been reading about them for so long that it's hard to imagine not keeping up with them in some fashion or another.

I'm sure it would come as no surprise to anyone if I were to name the current volume of X-Factor as my favorite ongoing monthly. I'm not delusional enough to think that it is the best comic ever written; but few works in any medium have resonated more strongly with me personally.

If you do ever decide to madrox, read y the last man. I think the storytelling aspect is similar to X-Factor.
