03.22.12 | Ah I heard Maus was really good. I kinda love history with a passion though. |
clercqie
03.22.12 | Y: The Last Man, brilliantly written realistic scifi.
Also, I'll be the first one to admit I'm a bit of a noob to the matter myself. |
JesusChris
03.22.12 | I didn't think it would be so hard to get into them but with all the issues and spinoffs its really overwhelming. |
clercqie
03.22.12 | Then start with a few one-offs or smaller series (a lot of graphic novels fall into this category) and work your way from there :) |
JesusChris
03.22.12 | any you can recommend? |

Other Stuff:
Alan Moore's Swamp Thing
Grant Morrison's Animal Man and Doom Patrol runs
Chew (every issue)
Essex County

Peter Milligan's Shade the Changing Man run
all of the collected Sandman Mystery Theater books so far (series hasn't been completely collected yet)
and Some of the DC relaunch books
Supercrooks #1 just came out yesterday and its a fun read
most of Marvel's stuff is meh but they have books like Venom and Ultimate Spider-Man which are gold
Dynamite comics also has a new The Shadow book coming out in April and their Green Hornet: Year One books is pretty good |
