Anyone have any suggestions for graphic novels? I want to get into reading more of them. I adored Rat Queens if that helps.

Adam If you haven't read Saga yet, that's a good place to start! I found Ladycastle a really cute version of Rat Queens meets Lumberjanes.

Neil R. Coulter Hi Hannah! I haven't read very widely in graphic novels, either, but I would recommend Maus, which is regarded as an all-time classic. I enjoyed Alex + Ada, a 3-volume story. I also like a 6-volume adaptation of Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep from a few years ago. "Here" is kind of an interesting idea, though I didn't find it completely satisfying overall. And if you want a superhero fix, one of my favorites is The New Frontier, about the Justice League.

I second Kimberly's vote for "Saga"! the "Y The Last Man" series by the same author is really good too!

Y: The Last Man, Vol. 1: Unmanned

If you want to check out the superhero genre, both of Greg Rucka's "Wonder Woman" runs were really good. They start with these volumes:

Wonder Woman By Greg Rucka Vol. 1

Wonder Woman, Volume 1: The Lies

I also loved Gail Simone's first run on Birds of Prey, which starts with this volume:

Birds of Prey, Vol. 3: Of Like Minds

Hope this helps! :)

Kristen I'm with David for Saga and Y:The Last Man. Locke & Key is also amazing. Monstress is super good too. Also, love The Walking Dead comics. Okay, I think I'm done now.

L. McCoy Some comics for fans of Rat Queens:
Berserk- Dark fantasy manga with lots of action. I should warn it is not a comedy and is very NSFW (I know Rat Queens is but Berserk actually makes it look pretty G-rated) but definitely worth reading.
The Fix- Crime story with very similar humor to Rat Queens. Funniest comic I’ve ever read!
I Hate Fairyland- Dark-humored fantasy tale.
Hope this helps!

Magnus Iskander Reim Saga, Maus if you haven't already, Ex Machina is also awesome.


message 12: by Magnus Iskander (new)

Magnus Iskander Reim Craig Thompson's books and Alan Moore's are also amazing.

Magnus Iskander Reim And Locke & Key, so so good. If you ever find Chronicles from Jerusalem by Guy Delisle, it's also amazing.
