Title: the greatest comic books ever!
Post by: Kickthekitty on March 28, 2010, 10:56:19 am
Are which? Hard to say since I haven't read all. But here's few that really impressed me.

Identity Crisis
This book would impress anyone. It's story, characters, villains, they all are superb.
I have read it 4 times now and it's put me close to tears everytime.

Big Guy and Rusty the Boy Robot
This one is simply great. If you have this as a book around, you got to read it. Sadly there aren't any good scans of it around the net. Add lot of contrast/saturation before reading. Read it 3 times, I think.

Captain Atom - Armageddon
If you like superhero(?) fights, this one is for you. Captain Atom beats the crap out of Wildstorm universe!
I find the story to be rather stupid, but characters are great. Especially Captain Atom.
Be warned that this book is almost solely about superhero fighting. Though it also works as 101 for Wildstorm main characters.
Read it about 2 and half times.

Watchmen.

I've always been fond of The Badger -- mostly because it was different from the usual super hero comic, and took place in Madison, WI, a city with which I am familiar.  I was living overseas when I found a copy of the first issue at a used bookstore, and that made it seem extra significant at the time.   :D

Oh Watchmen. Forgot completely about Moore. (Read it 2 or 3 times) Great story but art didn't satisfy me.

What I consider as greatest book from Moore is The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, Volume II!
I must have read it throught at least 4 times.

And then one more time with footnotes!

Watchmen surely and even V for vendetta, but for me midnight nation is a little masterpiece, the better job of J. Michael Straczynski.

Definitely gotta say The Sandman http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Sandman_(Vertigo) probably my all time favourite comic series.

Earth X series is one of my all time favorites, just an epic start to end, Sandman is also very very awesome.

One word:
Watchmen.

Seconded (no pun intended - well perhaps a minute one  ;D) I also am a huge fan of Niel Gaiman's Sandman, as well as any by Jhonen Vasquez, especially Johnny the Homicidal Maniac. Invader Zim is also great, even if not a comic - actually, there was a short four-page one.

Batma Dark Knight Returns, Transmepolitan, Y the last man, Sandman (including Lucifer) and Preacher are the best comics that one can read

The Boys by Garth Ennis

In main stream comics it is tough to say because quality fluctuates from book to book. I am liking Thor, and Secret Six, and Booster Gold.

Trying for something a little different, I'm nominating Nikolai Dante, from the pages of 2000ad. Sci-fi swashbuckling action/adventure, plenty of laughs, drama and a solid plot.

The Walking Dead. 

It gets darker and darker, and better and better.  Kirkman is a genius.
