graphic novels[views:3150][posts:39]_______________________________ [Aug 20,2008 9:24pm - Pires ""] favorites? i'm currently reading batman contagion. pretty good. |
| _____________________________________ [Aug 20,2008 9:38pm - Dave_Maggot ""] i just finished 'Wanted.' that was pretty sweet. the movie was bad ass too. but they were like two totally different things all together. yet still both awesome |
| ____________________________________ [Aug 20,2008 9:43pm - RichHorror ""] Watchmen The Dark Knight Returns Arkham Asylum V For Vendetta Maus From Hell |
| _______________________________________ [Aug 20,2008 9:49pm - y_ddraig_goch ""] if you like wanted, check out the directors other movies, nightwatch and day watch, fucking amazing stuff. the novels were even better as for the comics, Hellboy...and always keeping an eye out for an interesting horror comic or zombie comic |
| ________________________________________ [Aug 20,2008 9:52pm - DomesticTerror ""] The Walking Dead is amazing. I recently read Okko and loved it. if you haven't read Batman: The Long Halloween, i suggest you check it out. |

| _____________________________________ [Aug 20,2008 9:56pm - Dave_Maggot ""] oh, i love and own nightwatch. i havent seen daywatch yet. i gotta pick that up at some point |

| _______________________________________ [Aug 20,2008 10:28pm - the_reverend ""] I think that any of the ones for Death (DC) and Sandman (DC) would be amazing. |
| _________________________________________ [Aug 20,2008 10:30pm - DomesticTerror ""] don't forget Preacher |
| ________________________________ [Aug 20,2008 10:47pm - Pires ""] i just purchased arkham asylum. gonna begin that after contagion, though i should read the entire series before moving on. i've heard only great things about watchmen. i remember reading maus in high school, but never read part 2. anyone ever read marvel zombies? i've picked up and thumbed through the walking dead, but am reluctant to throw twenty bucks away at a bad graphic novel. but if you're all suggesting it, i'll have to think twice about it next time i go shopping for books. |
| ___________________________________________ [Aug 20,2008 11:02pm - DaveFromTheGrave ""] Preacher, one of the best graphic novels ever. You can't go wrong with a comic that includes a comic-ized Bill Hicks performance. |
| _____________________________________________ [Aug 20,2008 11:04pm - theaccurseddrummer ""] DC's kinda candy-assed sometimes, but check out Justice and Kingdom Come, they're by Alex Ross, who is the man. Speaking of Ross, check out his Marvel series MARVELS, it's pretty cool as well. |
| _________________________________________ [Aug 20,2008 11:13pm - DomesticTerror ""] New England Comics has a sale running throughout august. 20% off of graphic novels. that might help yer wallet a bit. also, since i'm pimping the Walking Dead so much, the trades range from $10-13. and they're written by Robert Kirkman, the same guy that wrote Marvel Zombies. I actually haven't read MZ, but i've heard nothing but good things about it. |

| ____________________________________ [Aug 21,2008 12:22am - narkybark ""] If you want to see a lot of where a lot of elements for The Dark Knight came from, read The Killing Joke and The Long Halloween. For series, I agree with Watchmen, and definetely Preacher. Sandman is a nice escape, a little more highbrow. |

| _____________________________________________ [Aug 21,2008 8:03am - markfuckingrichards ""] Mouse Guard, Path, The Goon, The Maxx, Wanted, Batman: Hush, Secrets, War Drums and all other previously mentioned series, Justice, Kingdom Come, anything Alex Ross does, V for Vendetta, Watchmen, Ojo, Sandman, of course Sin City, The Fountain. I'm sure more will come to me. |

If you haven't read Watchmen and The Dark Knight Returns, you haven't read comics. DomesticTerror said: y_ddraig_goch said:and always keeping an eye out for an interesting horror comic or zombie comic read the Walking Dead. every person i've turned on to this comic has become a fanatic. Yar - all my friends in Worcester are obsessed with this. I haven't had a chance to read more than an issue and a half, but it does seem to rule. DaveFromTheGrave said:Preacher, one of the best graphic novels ever. You can't go wrong with a comic that includes a comic-ized Bill Hicks performance. Just got into these recently; the pop culture references are amazing, but it's a solid book besides. Great shit. narkybark said:If you want to see a lot of where a lot of elements for The Dark Knight came from, read The Killing Joke and The Long Halloween. Totally seconded, but you also need The Killing Joke (Alan Moore). That's the other half of the puzzle with The Dark Knight, in my opinion (and it's amazing besides). Grab Batman: Year One (Frank Miller) to get the comics version of Batman Begins, while you're at it. If you're at all into crime books, or if you appreciate Quentin Tarantino's work but would like it minus all the faux-cool posing, you must own all of Stray Bullets. It's completely fucked, and highly awesome. |
| _______________________________ [Aug 21,2008 3:04pm - Pires ""] just finished batman contagion. i'll probabaly pick up cataclysm after i read arkham asylum. after cataclysm is no mans land 1-5. these get pricey but man are they worth the read. i read contagion in two days. |

| ____________________________________ [Aug 21,2008 7:35pm - boine nli ""] Monthly 51 was good plot seems to be taking a nice turn and the cover for 56 is looking like a change of scenery |
| ________________________________________ [Aug 21,2008 8:06pm - DomesticTerror ""] is that the capital cover? i saw a future cover with the whole current cast on it, so i kinda spoiled for myself who's still alive. |
| ____________________________________ [Aug 21,2008 9:02pm - boine nli ""] ya capital one I havnt seen the cast one I think rick only has another 10 issues left he seems to be on his way out |
| _________________________________________ [Aug 21,2008 9:08pm - Conservationist ""] I love the idea of graphic novels (who doesn't like comic books?) Unfortunately, most try to be too arty. Fuck arty fiction. Fuck arty art. The only true art is VON and PROFANATICA. |

| ______________________________________ [Aug 22,2008 2:10am - Boine (NLI) ""] he needs to get it coming out at least monthly i hate waiting 2 months |
| ________________________________________ [Aug 22,2008 5:26pm - DomesticTerror ""] now that he's a partner at image, i'm hoping his books will ship on time. |
| _____________________________________ [Aug 22,2008 6:08pm - ouchdrummer ""] redstar anyone? |
| ______________________________________ [Aug 23,2008 2:07pm - BlackoutRick ""] ThirdKnuckle said:Daredevil BORN AGAIN by Frank Miller Is that the same as the Elektra one from Miller? The one I'm thinking of is with her and she beats everyone's ass (Daredevil, Bullseye, and the Hand). Also, it has Bullseye's death (Right after he kills a fly on the wall with a straw and some water). |

Pires, I don't know what you're doing for schooling after CCRI, but I know URI offers a Graphic Novel class and it is supposedly really good. I had the professor for another class and she's terrific. |
