I’m a fan of graphic novels. I prefer the longer form storytelling and more mature themes available for the format. Even for the monthlies that I follow I’ll wait and grab the collected volumes. As an extra bonus, you can put them on a shelf like books instead of stacked boxes of poly bagged comics.
Here are several favorites of mine,
First is ‘Executive Outcomes’ based on the true story of operatives who worked for the private military contracting firm of the same name.
Second is ‘Wanted’. It’s the source material for the Angelina Jolie movie of the same name. It’s also waaaay better than that celluloid atrocity.
Third is ‘ExSanguine’ a great little horror tale about a Vampire.
Finally, the only actual superhero comic of this bunch. ‘Umbrella Academy’ which is written by Gerard Way from the band My Chemical Romance. Really cool and interesting take on the genre.
