Heather Godwin (hpgodwin) | 84 comments One of the most influential graphic novels of all time & a Hugo Award-winning graphic novel! Chronicles the fall from grace of a group of super-heroes plagued by all-too-human failings. Along the way, the concept of the super-hero is dissected as the heroes are stalked by an unknown assassin.

Anyone else reading this?

Francesca | 391 comments Not reading it this year but I have read it. I really enjoyed it! Have you seen the film? It's really good!


Brittany (booksandbottles) (gamerkiti) I'm reading this too!! I've got my copy on my shelf, I just need to pick a time to sit down and actually read it haha


Heather Godwin (hpgodwin) | 84 comments I have seen the film! I think it sticks to the source material pretty well, but the novel was better for me. It took me a while to really get into and appreciate all the small details of the graphic novel - but looking back it's very impressive. Still, it's a little dark and I probably won't re=read it again anytime soon.

Jasmine (pikakejazz) I think I'll be reading this one (when I finally get to it). I was debating between this or V for Vendetta. Definitely think I need to read Alan Moore since I haven't yet...

Michelle (mich2689) | 122 comments I'm reading this now


Jasmine (pikakejazz) I started reading this one finally! Not to far in, but it seems pretty intriguing. Can't believe that I haven't actually read an American graphic novel before this...


Jasmine (pikakejazz) Finally finished! I was surprised, didn't think graphic novels was really a genre for me, but I enjoyed it.

My review here.

Amy (thenikitagirl) This is definitely on my list for next year, along with The Walking Dead Volumes. They will be my first graphic novels. Happy to hear everyone else enjoys them that aren't necessarily into them normally.
