what comic/manga/graphic novel are you reading now or have you read in the past that you enjoyed the most?

I suppose you're fishing for recommendations... ain't we all? ;)

Berlin City of Stones and Berlin City of Smoke are top-class. Also Persepolis was really good. Recently I started reading some good stuff by Guy Delisle, but as funny as he is, I think his material will get old very fast.

I got some classic stuff from Italy still missing on Goodreads, which I'll add soon: some old stories with Corto Maltese, a new edition of Max Fridman by Vittorio Giardino, and a Jacovitti classic collection. They were all superb.
I guess I also need to re-read Lost Girls by Alan Moore, as I didn't really "get it" the first time around.

The Sandman Vol. 1: Preludes and Nocturnes and the rest of the series by Neil Gaiman.

i have read several ya novels by Neil Gaiman, he usually has pretty good stories. Though most of the comic stuff i read is Manga i'll have to try some regular graphic novels.

The thrice-monthly relaunch of Amazing Spider-Man is one of my favorite to pick up in floppies, as are Invincible and Powers. I just finished the trade of Phonogram, which was a ton of fun. I really enjoyed the Scott Pilgrim books and the series Strangers in Paradise as well.

well i have said before that i finished reading Inuyasha by Takahasi Rumiko a while back and I'm about a fourth of the way through Yu Yu Hakusho right now though i can't seem to remember who it's by.

Currently, I am reading volume one of The Devil's Panties. This volume collects comics 1-6 of the autobiographical web comic written and drawn by Jennie Breeden.

I'm up to volume 7 of Y the Last Man by Brian K. Vaughan and Pia Guerra. I'm starting that volume tonight.

My current favorite is The Walking Dead by Robert Kirkman. It keeps getting better with every issue. It's one of the best stories I've ever read and it keeps evolving.

I'm still catching up on Fables (currently on book 9) and I have to say it just keeps getting better. The first two were okay but not great but it just keeps building momentum and interest as the characters flesh out.

Graphic Novel wise I've been working my way through:
Y The Last Man
Ex Machina
Freakangels

But as for monthly issues I've been loving the first two issues of Four Eyes, Ignition City and have been a big fan of the new volume of Locke & Key as well as Umbrella Academy.


Irredeemable is only one issue in but is a MUST read for any fan of Mark Waid or simply the anti-hero theme. There are some scenes that really get under my skin. Check it out if you haven't!

I am currently reading the Bone series by Jeff Smith. It is very epic although a bit juvenile. It is absolutly hilarious. There are nine books in total. A very good lite-hearted read.

Currently re-reading: Unknown Soldier.
Black ops, lies, and wet work.

My favourites are Swamp Thing and Scott Pilgrim.

Swamp thing is often forgotten when compared with Alan Moore's other work, and Scott Pilgrim has been so much fun.

Saying that, I was turned on to reading comics by Daniel Clowes Ghost World, which needs to be read by even more people.

Just re-read The Adventures of Barry Ween, Boy Genius 1. Laugh out loud funny. 4 collections as far as I'm aware, all great stuff.

I recently read through issue 27 of Vagabond by Takehiko Inoue and I can not put into words how much I've loved every issue. Absolutely amazing.

Y: The Last Man is one of the best graphic novels that I've read... solid characters and great concept.

100 Bullets is an intense, gritty read with great art and a fascinating arc... I've read all but one of the collected issues.

Just starting the DMZ series, by the author of 100 Bullets.

I second 100 Bullets for an intense read if you don't like the superhero based comics. Fell is also pretty good although a little short and Nightly News by Jonathan Hickman is a visual masterpiece of storytelling.

For the more superhero type stuff, check out Brubakers Captain America, Marvel's Annihilation and The Immortal Ironfist. For DC, Justice and Kingdom Come are great reads.

Justice and Kingdom Come are awesome. I especially enjoyed Justice. The way the villains did away with the heroes was phenomenal. The one image that stuck in my mind was Wonder Woman cracking apart when the world ended.

Last trade I got was Grant Morrison's All-Star Superman vol. 1--awesome stuff.

When Old Man Logan is combined in a leather bound volume, will it count as an answer?

I've been having good flashbacks to last book of Y: The Last Man.
Asterios Polyp is also something I keep thinking about as well.

For me currently: Watchmen, Batman Arkham Asylum: A Serious House On Serious Earth, and V For Vendetta.

I've got a lot of favorite series I'm reading, at all age levels: the Bone series; Lions, Tigers and Bears;Runaways; Fables; The Walking Dead; Y: The Last Man; Angel: After the Fall; Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season 8.I do the graphic novel ordering for the library I work at so I'm also reading a lot of reviews for newer graphic novels and manga.

I just read Wolverine:Origin. It's defintely worth picking up if you're a wolverine fan.

I read that one and liked it too. I also liked Wolverine: Prodigal Son.

My favorite superhero comic I'm reading is Invincible by Robert Kirkman. This groundbreaking story shows what's possible when the creator truly owns the character and writes what he wants. His Walking Dead is how a zombie story should be told, true horror focused on the humans trying to survive. The best superhero team book I'm reading is Dynamo 5 by Jay Faerber. It feels like classic X-Men from the 80s with a modern twist. The most creative team book right now is Gerard Way's quirky Umbrella Academy. There's nothing out there like it. If you like crime fiction, Scalped by Jason Aaron is the best thing on shelves right now. It's a gritty organized crime story told on a Native American reservation. Ed Brubaker's Criminal is a pulpy crime noir comic that I can't recommend more highly. Honorable mentions: Chew by Jay Layman and Guerillas by Brahm Revel.

I just recently returned to reading comics. I've been gone a while -- over 10 years -- but my son is 3 1/2-years-old and really getting into superheroes, which was excuse enough for me to start picking up some graphic novels at the local library. I just finished volumes 7, 8, and 9 of the Catwoman series by Will Pfeifer and David & Alvaro Lopez (covers by Adam Hughes), and I have to say they were really fun. I prefer volumes 7 & 9, because they deal more with Catwoman in her element (that being the seedy underbelly of the criminal world in Gotham). Volume 8 sort of goes off on a weird tangent and takes Catwoman off-world to a Prison Planet. I didn't dig that so much, but it didn't detract too much from my overall enjoyment of the three GNs. I think I'll go back and read the earlier volumes.

I wrote a review of Catwoman Vol. 7: Catwoman Dies on my blog, if anyone is interested:

I just finished Sebastian O and I ADORE it.

Been a while since i was on here. Just read the Sleeper vol 2 and thought it was fun but not brilliant.

The last episode of 100 bullets was an interesting climax, the art on that series is fantastic, i'd love to get a poster of some of the pages.

Scalped is turning out to be pretty badass i'm really getting into it.

I'm almost through Absolute Sandman Vol. 3. It's every bit as fantastic as the first 2.

My favorite is V for Vendetta. I usually pull it out and reread it at least once a year.

Haven't read the Absolutes yet... one day I'll just break down and buy them all at once. Used, probably, so I don't have to read them while living in a box. =)

V For Vendetta is one of my all-time favorites, too. Every year, religious-like.

Dunno if I already mentioned, but another GN set I've really enjoyed is Strangers In Paradise by Terry Moore.

I've been reading the two Berlin books and recommend nboth highly.
