[Melki]

I'll nominate Who is Jake Ellis? Volume 1 and Onward Towards Our Noble Deaths.

[Vladimir]

I nominate Filth by Grant Morrison

[Carl]

i'd like mouseguard or from hell

[Cyndi]

I second Filth/Grant Morrison American Vampire 1

[Slayerscott]

I second Mouse Guard and also nominate Bryan Talbot's Grandville.

[Ricardo]

So we're limited to english written graphic novels, right?

[Matko]

Or the ones translated into English as far as I understand

You Are Here


Dotter of Her Father's Eyes

[Dana *]

I nominate
American Vampire, Vol. 1
and Chew, Vol. 1: Taster's Choice

[Dominick]

I'd suggest Like a Velvet Glove Cast in Iron, simply because it'd give me an excuse to read it after all these years.

Matko is right, I'd advise you to choose books that have been published in English (EDIT: doesn't matter if it was originally published in another language) and can potentially be discussed by all the members of the group.

[André]

Filth and Mouse Guard seem good options and I also have Locke and Key by Joe Hill on my soon to read list!

As other options I'd suggest Nightly News by Jonathan Hickman, Beasts of Burden by Evan Dorkin, Jimmy Corrigan: the Smartest Kid on Earth by Chris Ware and Habibi by Craig Thompson - I've read them and all could generate good group discussions for you guys :)

[Vladimir]

Yeah,Locke and key is a stunning series,maybe the best ongoing series at the moment.

[Cyndi]

[Yvonne]

[[deleted user]]

Daredevil Legends, Vol. 2: Born Again
or
Batman: The Long Halloween

[Ricardo]

Why not Duncan the Wonder Dog by Adam Hines and Market Day by James Sturm?

[Mike]

Transmet 1/Ellis
Nightly News/Hickman
Transhuman/Hickman

[Dominick]

Huh, those are a lot.

We can't put all those in the poll, I'm sorry. The rule is two by participant.

Why don't you choose two of the ones you mentioned. Otherwise we'll just pick up the first two.

[Sérgio]

I'll suggest The Arctic Marauder
and The Walking Man

[[deleted user]]

My votes go to Amercian Vampire and lucifer

[André]

Sérgio, I'll stand for Filth and Locke and Key at the moment. Was just trying to give ideas to other users hehe :)

[Rani]

My suggestions are Absolute Planetary Book One
and Flight Volume 1 (Flight, #1)

[Curtis]

I'll suggest 2 from my to-read pile:
The Infinity Gauntlet
Criminal Macabre Omnibus, Volume 1: The Cal McDonald Mysteries Steve Niles!

[Paul]

American Vampire, Vol. 1

[Adam]

I'll go for:

Castle Waiting, Vol. 1
Ghost World

NB - the Absolute Planetary book is virtually impossible to get hold of if you don't already have it, but it combines Planetary, Vol. 1: All Over the World and Other Stories and Planetary, Vol. 2: The Fourth Man, both of which you can pick up for £notmany.

[Mark]

My votes:
Mouse Gurad: Fall 1152, or The Nightly News.

[Derrick]

Some nice choices. Wouldn't hurt my feelings if you picked Planetary, Transmet, or Lucifer -- those series are on my need-to-read list.

[Rebeca]

I'll go with Planetary, Vol. 1: All Over the World and Other Stories and Chew, Vol. 1: Taster's Choice. Both are high up on my "to-read" list.

[Albert]

I second the filth!

[Adam]

Habibi's sitting waiting on my shelf too, Kevin.

[Tyler]

One I've read and one I haven't:
Habibi - Craig Thompson

The Alcoholic - Jonathon Aimes/Dean Haspiel
