[Diab]

Hello, I'm Ammitar. I joined this group because I'm a graphic novels enthusiast. I'm also new in Goodreads, so feel free to add me, I review some novels whenever I have some free time. Have a nice day guys.

[Jonathan]

Hey all, I'm Jonathan out of Texas, been a comics fan for a little over a year I think! I'm a huge DC fan but have dabbled in a tiny bit of Marvel comics, and have seen a lot of their more recent movies as well. Off the bat my graphic novel recommendations would be The Omega Men by Tom King, Watchmen by Alan Moore, The Curse of Shazam by Geoff Johns, The Vision by Tom King (2nd volume has yet to be released) and The Darkseid War by Geoff Johns. I have a tiny amount of reviews on some books as well.

[Gulli]

Hi guys! I'm Gully from London. I'm a huge comic book fan. I try to read a wide range of graphic novels. I wrote my dissertation/thesis on the graphic novel medium a few years back! I really like Batman: The Killing Joke and Daytripper. Having said that, it's really difficult for me to reduce my favourites to a couple, so feel free to check out my (graphic novels) bookshelf - and send a friend request if we share similar tastes. :-)

[Tommy]

Welcome to all the new members. This will be an active group again. Hope you join us, along with the veteran members as well. Thanks.

[Victoria]

Hello. I didn't get an invitation. I hope that's ok. I've enjoyed comics and have been a collector since I've been able to read. I'm just looking for a place to find fun suggestions. Thank you for creating this group.

[Patrick]

Hello, first-time poster Patrick Murtha here, hailing from Queretaro, Mexico, where I teach English in my semi-retirement. I'm 58, single, a graduate of Yale (BA in American Studies) and Boston University (Master of Arts in Teaching). I am interested in graphic literature and wordless novels, and read very widely across fiction and non-fiction genres. Being born in 1958, I was just the right age to grow up on Silver Age Marvel Comics. Lately I've been reading some Fox Feature Syndicate material from the 1940s - Blue Beetle, Green Mask, Murder Incorporated.

[Will]

Hello I am a Librarian for the city of Baltimore. I love reading fantasy/ Scifi and christian thought literature. I really really love comics. Especially superhero comics. I really think growing up in the 90s that superheroes comics aided in teaching me more about doing the right thing and expanded my imagination. I love both Marvel and DC. I still read TMNT and indie comics from Image, Boom and Dynamite. My favorite heroes are Batman, Superman, Green Lantern, Swamp Thing and Spiderman. Favorite teams are X-men, Justice League, TMNT and the Fantastic Four.

[Christine]

Hi all,

I was a huge fan of comics when I was a kid (starting out with British kids classics the Beano and Dandy, which used to arrive with my parents' newspapers every weekend for years), and the love never went away! Nowadays, I read Love and Rockets, Grant Morrison, Alison Bechdel, Saga (who doesn't love a good epic space opera?), Bitch Planet, Neil Gaiman and Alan Moore (obviously), The Wicked and The Divine... and anything else. But I'm keen to branch out a bit, and hopefully this group will keep me going with suggestion and recommendations!

[Mark]

I highly recommend Black Science by Rick Remender. Amazing story and stunning artwork.

It looks like we share similar tastes and background. As for recomendations, I've been enjoying the English language reprints of Hugo Pratt's Corto Maltese - wonderful storytelling.

[Ryan Lowery]

Hello - I'm relatively new to the comic book/graphic novel world. Looking forward to getting recommendations on what to read next!

[Kellan]

I'm Kellan. I came to this group because I'm lonely and I love comics

[Nicole]

Hello, all!

I'm Nicole from Florida. Looking forward to finding new graphic novels to read through this group. I just finished the Locke & Key Series and now I'm on to Saga, Vol. 6.

I spend most my time in the Stephen King group, but I thought I'd wander around here and see what people recommend :)

[Daniel]

Hello everyone, my name is Daniel and I'm thrilled to join this group.
I want to meet others with the same love for well-written graphic novels as well as other graphic novel indie authors. As for me, JH Williams III and Moebius got me into illustration while Moore got me into writing my own series of graphic novels.

Hoping to know more about you guys.

Thanks, D.

[Elizabeth]

Hello! I'm Liz and there are a number of comics in my collection that i haven't got around to reading (a number of which are being read here).

I started with a love for manga and moved my way into a broader range of non-superhero oriented graphic novels a handful of years back. I appreciate a good story as much as i love great illustration.

I hope to be able to participate in conversation around some of my favorite series and new finds while i'm around!

[Maider]

Heeey!! My name is Maider and I'm in this group because i want to try with graphic novels. Never done before. Can you recomend me something to start with?
Thanks and kisses

[[deleted user]]

Hey guys! I'm Charlie. I've been reading and collecting graphic novels for about a decade now. I just joined GoodReads earlier this week to catalog my graphic novel collection, and find opinions on things I want to try out. I've been out of the loop for a few years, so I'm trying to catch up! Hope to see you guys around!

[Tommy]

Welcome to the group Charlie, Maider, Elizabeth, Daniel, Nicole, and other new members.

[Alex]

Hello all. Ive been reading comics for the last 15 years but i'm more active since 2014. I grew up reading all kinds of manga and disney comics but recently im drawn to european ones (Italians and BDs) and some American alternatives. Never really liked anything superhero realted tbh.

Favorite ones are anything Moore related, Black Order Brigade by Bilal and Christin, Diosamante by Gal, Obscure Cities by Peeters/Schuten, The Complete Works of Crepax, and above all, Moebius.

[Julie-Anie (Another one bites the dust jacket)]

Hi! I'm Julie and I'm from Norway. I only started getting into comics a little under a year ago, but I already feel very passionate about them. I enjoy both Marvel/DC and indie titles. Almost all of the comics I've read so far screams "girl power!", but I've started trying to branch out from that, and figured out that I really like Batman and Ultimate Spider-Man.

Currently I'm reading Saga book 2, and I have to be honest, I don't love it as much as most people seem to do. It might be because of the insane hype that's been building around the series. Though I obviously liked it enough to pick up book 2.

Looking forward to having good and rewarding conversation with all of you :)

[Chaz]

Hi All,

I'm a creator (writer/artist/designer) as well as a reader. I was never a collector of 'back issues' and have zero interest in Marvel/DC but I do appreciate anything that's off-beat, indie, underground, subversive, or just plain different.

I appreciate old-school British comics - anything by Bryan Talbot, John Ridgway, Pat Mills, Fabrey, etc etc (basically 2000 AD) and latterly, a lot of Avatar titles: Uber, Ferals, and Garth Ennis' Crossed series. I also appreciate great manga - specifically Goijma and Koike's amazing 'Lone Wolf & Cub', 'Cryng Freeman' and You Higuri's work on the Crown series, which directly inspired a character of mine.

Anyway that's the 'Hi I'm the new guy' bit done. I'll post something that's actually interesting soon. :)

[Tommy]

Welcome to the group Alex, Julie, and Chaz.

[Minnie]

Yo! I have been reading comics and manga since I was 13

[Tommy]

Hi, I am a medical doctor in Sao Paulo, Brazil. I am a intense reader since I was a child. Now I'm starting to enjoy comic books, what is really new for me.

[Tucky]

Hello, I'm Tucky, I'm from the US but live and work in Paraguay, South America. I love all kinds of comics from gag cartoons by Roz Chast, Charles Addams, David Sipress to full-length graphic novels such as Watchmen, Persepolis, American Born Chinese, Fun Home,
and March. I am glad to get to know more books that you guys recommend.

[Brandy]

Hello! I'm Brandy and I just started getting into reading comics and graphic novels within the past couple months. My boyfriend is a very intense reader and he's also hooked me onto them haha. So far I'm really loving the X Force comics and I'm looking for more Wolverine and X-23 to put on my shelf. So far, they're definitely my favorite characters in Marvel so any suggestions would be cool :)

Overall, you guys should definitely let me know what your favorite books are so that I could look into reading more.

[Jaime]

Hi !
I am a graphic novel author in sunny San Diego, CA
Jaime Olmos.

[L.]

So uh... hi. If you know about me you should look at my profile, I'm not good at this.

[Bernard]

Hi - I'm a huge GN collector. I read all types. Currently re-reading the Uncanny X-men run all the way from Giant Size #1 and #94 through to Onslaught (#320s). And also David's X-factor run (Vol 3) which has been phenomenal.

I've recently enjoyed Complete Peanuts (up to 1973), Saga and Fables, so my interests are very diverse.

[Jaime]

Hi Bernard !
GN ? OK Graphic Novel
Well SONORA PASS is a different kind of GN ..no superhero ..
It was originally intended to be a Film ..I still harbor hopes that this will happen ...
Kevin Nichols is quite an Illustrator ! The plot is an intricate murder mystery story ...
am hoping to expand the GN audience ...

Hi all - I am Saha, newly arrived in the US from the UK. I was pleasantly shocked to discover during my relocation that of the 27 boxes of stuff I moved across the Atlantic, 12 of them were books only! I have now assigned 3 shelves on my library specifically for Graphic Novels, and can't wait to exchange recommendations with you all :)

Hi, I'm a new member here, and I couldn't help but feeling excited by telling you that I've spent two years writing a graphic novel exploring the situation of two unlikely friends trying to save the environment when global warming reaches its catastrophic stage. The story involves a dynamic political conspiracy and through DNA transformation, a super villein is born.

My book "Mother Earth" is accepted by the Vancouver Public Library and many libraries in Canada, and is available in Ingram. Please check it out and let me know what do you think.

Did you really need to just randomily quote other posts to tell us this though? You could have just posted your comment from there.

[Victor]

Hi, my name is Victor and I'm also a graphic novelist. I'm glad I found you guys.

[Lanaé]

Hello, I'm Lanae' from Ohio. I like comics and graphic novels, but I don't have a specific genre that I enjoy. I like funny stuff. Hope y'all like me!! :))))

[Bryan]

Hi everyone, I'm Bryan from Clayton, NC. I have always loved comic books since I was a kid. There is nothing in the world like the smell of a comic book and a comic book store to me. I read all different styles of comics and books, but horror is my favorite.
