I Read Comic Books discussion

What comic, manga, or collection of comics should we read together for our [insert month] Comic Book of the Month? Nominate your pick here!

This month's theme is "stand alone fiction OGNs."

Titles nominated this month must be a fictional story published as a completed work.. If you have any questions or concerns, please send a message to mod Kait, who is happy to help. You can find the complete 2021 theme calendar here.

Remember:
- Manga nominations are welcome.
- Nominated titles must be TPB comics or original graphic novels, but not omnibuses.
- Only the first volume of a series may be nominated, unless the group has already read the previous volume(s) as a book of the month. To see what we've read, check out our group's Book of the Month bookshelf.
- Nominated titles cannot have the same writer as the previous month's BotM winner. This month, that's Jonathan Hickman.
- Nominated titles must fit the month's theme. To see past and upcoming themes, check out the 2018 theme calendar, 2019 theme calendar, and 2020 theme calendar.
- Only one nomination per person.
- You can "second" a nomination in place of nominating a different book, but this will count as your nomination for the month. Seconded books will receive an additional chance of being selected in the randomization process.
- If a title you nominate wins BotM, please refrain from nominating another title for one month to give others a chance.

16th: Nomination forum opens
23rd: Nomination forum closes; 5 nominations are selected at random; Voting opens

I feel like I have read quite a few fiction OGNs, thanks to my local library. I had quite a few to choose from for this!

I'd like to nominate Will & Whit. (It's on Hoopla!)
