46. Good to be Bad Challenge

[Matt]

Graphic Novel or Series in which the main character is the villain or antagonist of the story.

[Matt]

The Big 2 may dominate this one, but I can think of a few indies and manga out there that fit the bill as well:

Loki: Journey Into Mystery by Kieron Gillen Omnibus - Kid Loki as the lead

The Superior Foes of Spider-Man Omnibus

Thunderbolts, Volume 1: Faith in Monsters

Forever Evil or for a similar (shorter) read,
Forever Evil: Arkham War

Suicide Squad: Rebirth Deluxe Edition Book 1

Fantastic Four: Books of Doom

Magneto, Volume 1: Infamous

X-Men: Magneto Testament

Secret Six: Six Degrees of Devastation

Deathstroke, Vol. 1: The Professional

Lex Luthor: Man of Steel

Joker

And the Manga:

Death Note, Vol. 1: Boredom

Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion, Vol. 1

Hellsing, Vol. 01

Lupin III, Vol. 1

Shamo

Overlord, Vol. 1 (manga)

Some of those Indies I mentioned:

Empire

Bedlam, Vol. 1

Wanted

Lucifer, Vol. 1: Devil in the Gateway

Irredeemable, Vol. 1

Nemesis

Uber Volume 1

Absolution, Vol. 1

V for Vendetta

Reggie and Me

Imperium Vol. 1: Collecting Monsters

Transformers: All Hail Megatron, Volume 1

I feel that Batman: White Knight also fits here (Matt, you mentioned it under the Recommended prompt). The story mostly features an apparently converted Joker demonizing Batman in front of the whole of Gotham and doing a good job of it. Everything is good in the end, but the story is really something different even for long-time fans of either character.

I ended up going with Unfollow, Vol. 1: 140 Characters for this prompt!

Unfollow is an excellent one for this challenge. I actually read it while it was being published monthly and it was a heck of a ride. It definitely put Rob Williams on my personal radar.
