Elektra: Assassin.
One of Frank Miller's earlier graphic novels. Very cool plot, uber cool inking and coloring. |

Good catch... ----------- Banky Edwards: Who should I sign it to? Little Kid: I don't want you to sign it. I want the guy who draws Bluntman and Chronic to sign it. [snatches the comic away] Little Kid: You're just a tracer. Collector: Tell him, little shaver. [Banky is strangling the Collector] Collector: You're mucking with a G, you fuckin' tracer. Banky Edwards: I'll trace a chalk line around your dead fucking body, you fuck! Holden McNeil: [to Security Guards] Will you get him out of here! Collector: [as he's being dragged away by Security Guard] Hey wait a second! He jumped me, you fucking tracer! Banky Edwards: YOUR MOTHER'S A TRACER! ------------- |

GNs used to be places for the comic creators to work out some more mature stories. Now they do so without fear in the comics themselves.
I have some GNs and have a modest collection of current reprints (I don't get to the comic store as often as I used to...) of some great titles: Straczynski's initial run on Amazing Spider Man (incredible) First 10 issues or so of The Authority (Wow, all I can say is wow) The entire runs of Ghost in the Shell, GiTS2, Appleseed, and Black Magic Anything Alex Ross does... I think Kingdom Come is close to Watchmen in terms of incredible story... Everything this guy lays his hands on is gold... Old school: She-Hulk graphic novel Killing Joke The Watchmen (first printing  )...others (haven't gone though my comics from the 80s in years) There's more... I just don't remember how much more... |

My favorite one was when Huey, Louie and Dewey borrowed Donald's car to go see Uncle Scrooge McDuck.
Gotta love the classics. |

I read some of the Blade western series but it got to be the same old thing after a few.

You have the exact same taste in Graphic Novels as me. I just finished Preacher. Probably the best thing I've ever read. I've read V for Vendetta, also very good, and the Punisher is my fave Marvel character of all time (I'm liking the new Max run, but the incest is pretty creepy lol). I'm currently reading through the Sin city books. |

The Watchmen is classic. Easily one of the best things to come out of DC ever.

One more vote for Watchmen...no, there is no 'The', yes I am sure, it is sitting in front of me right now.
 '86-'87 printing.How about Heavy Metal Magazine? Good stuff, most of the time. AvengeR15: I still usually see at least one copy of Watchmen at Borders near me. I don't always look for it, but when I do, it is there.  ByteTheBullet (-: |

Well yea, at least it is the modern equivalent. They're alot thicker and cost more than most novels these days. My son and all his buddies are into them. Having been a comic book fiend as a kid and after years of reading novels, I now find the picture story format a tad too difficult to read and not as enjoyable. I find, the searching for the reading material and relating it to the images to get the point to be slow and tedious. I also find the pictures limit your imagination taking away from the enjoyment of reading. Simply not my cup of tea anymore. Tj |
