Great series! Something so offensive, funny and simultaneously endearing is unique. I was sad to see it end.

We shall see how this thread goes! Your thoughts are more than welcome and encouraged.

I just started getting back into graphic novels ad mature comics. i hadn't read one in oer 15 years and i went into comic shop on Sherwood for a blast from the past. I was hooked when i walked in. Here is what i am reading:

The Walking Dead - I love zombies (obviously) and this series is so great. Kirkman keeps the zombies old school and focuses on people in a world gone mad.

Preacher - The best series I have ever read. Just wonderful.

The Boys - Garth Ennis wanted to "out-Preacher Preacher" and he did. The story of 5 people who keep the cocky super heroes in line. Super gory and extreme. and Simon Pegg is in it!

The Stand - First comic just came out, and I love Stephen King

Wolverine: Old Man Logan - I really don't like traditional superheroes anymore, but this one interested me. It shoes Wolverine 50 years from now in a word where the heroes are mostly dead and the villians run the USA. Wolvie took a beat down and lost the will to fight ever again, but that will change.

Crossed - Comic by Garth Ennis, issue 0 came out a few weeks ago. Looks to be a gory, apacolyptic story. so far, so good

hope this helps anyone looking for some cool things to read.

Graphic novels are comic books. It's just a term that was invented so people wouldn't be embarrassed to buy a comic.

Hey, I still read the occassional comic book. but I don't need to kid myself that it's a graphic novel. Still, it's a good topic. I'm in.

but I'll wait to your graphic novel thread to nitpick your list. I've got my own percolating in my head.
