[AnarchyAo2]

Does anyone here read them? If so, whats your favorite(s)?

My first, and favorite graphic novel is Blankets by Craig Thompson. Its such a great book, even if you don't like comics, check it out for the artwork.

My first, and favorite graphic novel is Blankets by Craig Thompson.


This is the book that piqued my interest about graphic novels, and the first real one I have read since the TMNT ones a decade ago. Blankets ROCKS! (And his book Carnet de Voyage is real good too)

Several Excellent Comics/Mangas/Picture Books (along with rating)

The Watchmen by Alan Moore *Rocks Socks
The Goon by Eric Powell *Aw Snaps Giggle
The Dark Knight Returns by Frank Miller *Good if you can get past the mixed quality artwork
Lone Wolf and Cub by Kazuo Koike, Goseki Kojima *HE'S A SAMURAI ASSASSIN WITH A BABY
Blade of the Immortal by Hiroaki Samura *Immortal Slice and Dicer
Lupin the 3rd by Monkey Punch *The writers name is Monkey Punch...need i say more? Wacky.

Thats 3 comics and 3 mangas which equals 6 picture books. :^^:

I'm reading a bunch of Tim Sale for the first time. So far I've got Daredevil Yellow, Batman: The Long Halloween, and Batman: Dark Victory under my belt. They will in fact blow your freaking mind.

my favorite comic is the Trencher by Keith Giffen. I can stare each panel down for way too long. I think he has the wildest art style I have ever seen.

My first and fave graphic novel is Aliens: Labyrinth, based on the book of the same name. Kilian Plunkett (imo) has such a great style.

Blade of the Immortal :)

[PHATandy]

The AKIRA books.... are so damn sweet. I dont read alot of graphi novels but im on to the 5th Akira one.. and they totally blew me away. the last one is in thye post now ...w00t.

The style is a little Anime.. but its the pretty good kind (no X's on dead peoples eyes) a fairly realisitc approach. Story and the art is amazing. Loads of cool design and stuff.... i can read em again and again.

I here the film is like the best manga film ever aswell.

i dig humburtos ramos's art. i love his spiderman comics. it is hard to find comics here though, unless you want to read the phantom, which is gay anyway.
