Watchmen
Alan Moore

DC Comics, 1995

The Hype Surpassed
I, like many others, had no intention of seeking out or reading this book up until about 3 months ago. When the movie was announced and the trailer hit I was stoked. Picked up a copy of the Graphic Novel and drove right in. This is really pretty heavy stuff; ...
  
  











  



  
Batman: The Long Halloween
Jeph Loeb, Tim Sale

DC Comics, 1999

Harvey Dent, Tragic Character
This is probably one of the first stories that really showed Harvey Dent as a tragic figure in the Batman universe rather than some demented villain with a duel identity issue. The Long Halloween probably did the best of showing the relationship of Batman, Jim Gordon, ...
  
  











  



  
Batman: The Killing Joke
Alan Moore, Brian Bolland

DC Comics, 2008

If you're a fan of the Joker, you'll LOVE it!!!
This is definately a graphic novel worth purchasing. The art is wonderfully done, and the story leaps off of the page. Joker origins have been done before, but never as beautifully as this one. If you consider yourself a Batman fan, then this is a product that you'll ...
  
  











  



  
Diary of a Wimpy Kid
Jeff Kinney

Abrams Books for Young Readers, 2007

Best book ever!
This book was so awesome I couldn't put it down. I read it in 2 days and couldn't wait to get Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Rodrick Rules. I hope this author writes a lot more books because they are very enjoyable and entertaining.
  
  











  



  
Batman: Arkham Asylum (15th Anniversary Edition)
Grant Morrison

DC Comics, 2005

In the mouth of madness
For any beginning comic reader, and even more so for anyone else, "Arkham Asylum" is essential. Claimed by DC to be the best-selling graphic novel of all time, "Arkham Asylum" is deep, psychological, terrifying, and as dark as any comic I've ever read. Grant Morrison ...
  
  











  



  
Batman: The Dark Knight Returns
Frank Miller

DC Comics, 1997

A classic
With only the acclaimed Watchmen as a peer, this is a must-read for any Batman fan. Miller's artwork takes some getting used to, but he can sure tell a story well. The only drawback is that some knowledge of the Batman universe is required going into the comic, so ...
  
  











  



  
Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Rodrick Rules (Diary of a Wimpy Kid)
Jeff Kinney

Amulet Books, 2008

Is that GREAT or what?
I think Jeff Kinney hit the BullsEye with the Diary of a Wimpy Kid. I first read some of it at the internet. However it did not take me long to figure out that I had to have a hard copy of this book. Once I got it, I read it from start to finish and was unable to put ...
  
  











  



  
Persepolis: The Story of a Childhood
Marjane Satrapi

Pantheon, 2004

Awesome Experience
Although this book is written like a comic book, don't take it lightly. The story is a deep and meaningful one. It is a pretty fast read but not as fast as you'd think...I highly recommend it!
  
  











  



  
Batman: Year One
Frank Miller

DC Comics, 2007

THE Origin Of The Batman
Frank Miller put together the best re-telling of the beginnings of Batman. From the death of Bruce Wayne's parents, all the way through his first tenuous year as a crime fighter. You can see where a lot of Batman Begins was inspired by this piece of work. It's the ...
  
  











  



  
V for Vendetta
Alan Moore, David Lloyd

Vertigo, 1995

Don't read this with a closed mind
If you encountered the movie first and are merely following up on the book, keep one thing in mind. This is how the story was originally intended. Initially, when I read that Alan Moore was not happy about how the movie turned out, I was puzzled. However, after ...
  
  











  



  
The Complete Maus: A Survivor's Tale
Art Spiegelman

Pantheon, 1996

Masterpiece!
As a Jew Living in Israel, holocaust related books are important to read, but it's hard to do it actually. I can remember several holocaust-era semi-biographic novels which are great but those are the exceptions. Most of the books are a bit bothersome though true. ...
  
  











  



  
Y: The Last Man, Vol. 10: Whys and Wherefores
Brian Vaughan

Vertigo, 2008

Final TPB offers lukewarm conclusion to an enjoyable series
This tenth "Y The Last Man" trade paperback collects the final six issues (#55-#60) of the acclaimed Vertigo/DC Comics series. Yorick, 355, Hero, the two Beths, the Russians and the Israeli soldiers converge in Paris as the main plotline concludes in Issue 59. Issue ...
  
  











  



  
Understanding Comics: The Invisible Art
Scott Mccloud

Harper Paperbacks, 1994

Brilliant Book!
Okay, this is seriously one of the most brilliant books I have ever read, and I have Henry (who is also brilliant) to thank for introducing this to me. (Thank you, Henry.) Although this book has been around since '93, I suspect it's nowhere near as recognized as it ...
  
  











  



  
Maus I: A Survivor's Tale: My Father Bleeds History
Art Spiegelman

Pantheon, 1986

Masterpiece
i was one of the few among my peers who had never read one of the Maus books. When i finally got around to it, i was blown away by its excellence. This is a masterpiece (and i do not use the term lightly). Do yourself a favor and don't miss it.
  
  











  



  
The Complete Calvin and Hobbes (Calvin & Hobbes)
Bill Watterson

Andrews McMeel Publishing, 2005

Excellent
This is excellent, 3 big books gathering all Bill Waterson's work on Calvin & Hobbes. It weighs 10kg and has a rigid binding and box. Lots of colored sheets and some review on the Bill Waterson's work.
