[CousinLarry]

Never really read any comics as a kid but I just started reading some a few months ago and have been really geeking out. <b,121<b,121So far I have read:<b,121<b,121The League of Extraordinary Gentleman 1 and 2<b,121The Watchman<b,121The Killing Joke<b,121v for Vedetta<b,121Batman: Year One<b,121<b,121Right now I am reading Ronin.<b,121<b,121<b,121What else should I be reading, there is so much to chose from?

i hate new comics cuz the coloring is now outsourced to computer robots in outer mongolia.

Batman: The Dark Knight Returns<b,121<b,121Off the top of my heads the Jim Lee/Chris Claremont X-Men's were always good.

seeing two titles by Alan Moore on your list... FROM HELL is his best work, IMO.<b,121<b,121I was into DMZ for a while.<b,121<b,121I mostly read indie "comix" like American Splendor...

If you're just checking out graphic novels, I recommend 100 Bullets, Preacher, Y The last Man, the Authority and Planetary. Seriously good shiet IMO. <b,121<b,121Oh yeah, no "comic" collection is complete w/o Lone Wolf and Cub.

<img src="http://www.coverbrowser.com/image/bestselling-comics-2006/2775-1.jpg"1<b,121<b,121This is some next-level visual storytelling that has yet to be surpassed, IMO. But then again I am an old-school comic book head.<b,121<b,121For newer stuff, I liked this series<b,121<b,121<img src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/1/1b/Avengers_Forever.jpg/250px-Avengers_Forever.jpg"1

cosine on Y The Last Man... it's really good for a non'traditional' comic book. I liked the Ultimates and Ultimate Spider-Man, tho a lot of people didn't feel the same way. But I thought the art and storylines were good in both titles, tho Ultimate Spider-Man kinda fell off after the Venom issues. The first few trade paperbacks of each title are worth the read and you can probably frind them at a library..<b,121<b,121I would also recommend reading Watchmen and Kingdom Come. I have never met anyone that didn't like those books.

Dont get me started!

My favorites of my early pre-teen & early teenage years:<b,121<b,121CEREBUS<b,121LOVE & ROCKETS<b,121AMERICAN SPLENDOR<b,121MOON KNIGHT (the original Siencowicz series)<b,121RONIN<b,121X-MEN (John Byrne and the first Paul Smiths)<b,121TOMB OF DRACULA<b,121JUDGE DREDD<b,121<b,121I read almost all of the big Marvel and several of the big DC titles of the time (1980-1983) but those are the ones that stuck with me the most, and would probably be worth revisiting now.

 

[grandpa_shig]

oh yeah! judge dredd was super tubular as well! the wolverine miniseries was dope. um, frank miller daredevil, mcfarlane spideys, um, um. i forget. i liked crisis as well, though it was a bit unorganized.
