I've read a few graphic novels, but they get expensive so I don't have a ton. My favorites are all Alan Moore works, i.e. Watchmen, V for Vendetta, From Hell, etc. The Dark Knight Returns was good too.

I'm hoping that they'll use this novel as an inspiration for Batman v Superman:

Ya Preacher and Sandman needs to be on everyone's list.
Frank Miller's Batman stuff is probably already on everyone's list.

 

[Fork]

not really in order:

• Prophet: Brothers - my #1
• From Hell - great art, story, and plenty of philosophical diversions
• Watchmen - obvious, but deserves all the praise it gets
• Daredevil: Born Again - great story of Daredevil being broken down, and i love all the religious symbolism
• Silver Surfer: Parable - short but sweet, with fantastic art by Moebius
• Dr. Strange and Dr. Doom: Triumph and Torment - two great characters, and excellent art by Mike Mignola
• Spaceman - i love stories like this where a hulking but downtrodden character rises above his station
• The Ballad of Halo Jones - epic story with plenty of twists and turns
• Nexus - i really love how this comic deals with such a powerful character, and steve rude's art is great
• BPRD: Plague of Frogs - huge story, with fantastic characters and a great team

Prophet is probably the best comic i've ever read, and the second TPB (Brothers) is the best of the series, although it's all fantastic. the characters introduced in this volume are great and so original, and the use of color in this volume particularly is amazing.

Such good stuff in the series. It could arguably be my absolute number one, but I have a love/hate thing for Ennis and Preacher encapsulates it perfectly. Every arc, no matter how good, has something so stupidly childish and moronic that it draws the story short of what it could be. Ennis seems preoccupied sometimes with being the Quentin Tarantino of comics and wants to be all dark and funny. Until the End of the World is, to me, the best thing Ennis has ever written and he still drops the ball by having some retarded in-breed family of cyclopses or some shit and it's supposed to be funny. He's also kinda preoccupied with having people get raped as a joke which gets really weird after awhile.

I pick up some of his stuff now and then and he still seems to have the same faults. Something is great, then he just throws somebody getting raped into the story and I'm supposed to laugh at it or something.

I have yet to finish the series, but Locke and Key is great and is a contender for my top ten when I finish it.
