12.17.15 | watchmen is great, definitely check it out along with Ronin.
My personal favourite is Hellboy, and I'd recommend just going in order, starting with the Seed of Destruction arc of course |
ZombicidalMan
12.17.15 | I'm sure pots will show up with a load of good recs, too. |
Rowan5215
12.17.15 | Get Watchmen, now |
Muppelope
12.17.15 | Yeah, Watchmen is really good, as is Sandman if you haven't read it. I'd also recommend Y: The Last Man. I'm also really into Saga and East of West right now, though those are currently ongoing. |
Inveigh
12.17.15 | i haven't been into comics in a long time, but outside of all the well-known marvel and DC shit, i remember really liking Transmetropolitan back in the day |
Clumseee
12.17.15 | Anything by Adrian Tomine. |
Brostep
12.17.15 | oh man I've been super digging a series called The Wicked + The Divine recently. it's about 16 issues in and it fucking rules. writing is superb, characters are great, art is unbelievable
also good on the Tomine rec, Shortcomings is pretty damn cool |
zakalwe
12.17.15 | viz |
Faraudo
12.17.15 | Almost everything written by Alan Moore is pretty good. |
Mythodea
12.17.15 | The Life and Times Of Scrooge McDuck Vol. I-II.... And Bone...Seriously....
Now, to more adult choices..:
A bit of Madness(twisted gothic epic) - stand alone
Civil War (Marvel) - stand alone
Maus [2] - stand alone
Daytripper (Emotional shit right there) - stand alone
Arsenic Lullaby (It can't get more black than this humor) - Series
The Dark Tower (Stephen King's epic in a great series, still going)
Fables - Excellent paradigm of what comic art is about and what good storytelling is (series, big one)
Y The Last Man - see above |
BlueandOrange
12.17.15 | You'd really dig John Flood, it's a 6 parter that's nearly finished you may be able to find the issues/ or a volume soon.
Read sundowners volume 1/2 (2 especially)
check the latest volume of moon knight as well, he's called marvels answer to batman but that's really underselling him.
Nameless has had the trippiest artwork/story this year as well. |
dimsim3478
12.17.15 | all good recs above. check "Watchmen" ASAP. here are some more.
- Bone / RASL (Jeff Smith / brilliant storytelling)
- Preacher / The Boys (Garth Ennis / vulgarity)
- Cerebus the Aardvark (300 issues of pretty crazy stuff)
- East of West (weird book to get into but one of the most interesting ongoing series atm)
- Lucifer (kinda like a more consistent Sandman)
- Midnight Nation (super deep but the female characters are kinda um scantily clad)
- Transmetropolitan [2] (just read the first TPB on the plane this morning and it kicked ass)
- Usagi Yojimbo ("every issue is like a masterclass in storytelling"--some reviewer)
- Y: The Last Man [2] / Saga / The Private Eye (Brian K. Vaughan has the best stories in comics history) |
IronGiant

mindleviticus
12.17.15 | From Hell
It's about Jack the Ripper and it's an Alan Moore story too |
IronGiant
12.17.15 | So far, The Wicked + The Divine looks unbelievable and Watchmen seems right up my alley. Thank you again guys |
DinosaurJones
12.17.15 | Locke & Key |
Sinternet
12.17.15 | Maus [3]
Y: The Last Man [3]
Saga [2] - literally the greatest series i have ever read
East of West [2]
Lazarus
Peter Panzerfaust
Alex + Ada
Revival
Copperhead
God Hates Astronauts

Nazzadan
12.17.15 | Bill Burr |
DinosaurJones
12.17.15 | Ooooh, yeah, Maus was very good.
Tht was actually required reading for one of my college courses, haha. |
IronGiant
12.17.15 | I've read Maus- it was fantastic. I'm Jewish too and my grandpa had actually escaped Germany right before it all started, so it holds a special place in my heart. Thank you again everyone for the recs |
Devastator
12.17.15 | I primarily read marvel (spiderman) but here a few of my favorites.
Ultimate Spiderman
Superior Spiderman
Agent Venon
Spiderverse
Old man Logan
Deadpool (Daniel Way and classic collection)
As for DC, if you haven't read Batman: The Killing Joke definitely read that. The Hush saga is also great as well. |
Mythodea
12.17.15 | If you like political drama, another story based on true events (it's autobiographical actually) is Persepolis... Excellent work of art. |
Papa Universe
03.05.17 | "Blacksad", which is like Zootopia for adults. |
