Favourite Graphic Novel

my mate lent a pdf of the preacher comics so going to start reading them soon :)

Anywhere we can download from?
Infact, does anyone know where you can read comics online??

I had my first “graphic novel” time some ten years ago and spent a large amount of time (and money) on books then, mostly european stuff, I think I read everything from Bilal and Spiegel back then, plus loads of other stuff.

And just recently my daughter re-sparked my interest in comics, mangas and graphic novels.

Something that totally blew me away was “Blam!”

Done by Tsutomu Nihei who actually was an architecture-student before making mangas and it shows, he just throws page after page of absolutely amazing sci-fi-architecture at you aswell as some incredibly choreographed fighting-panels. There is not much dialogue und the story is (typically japanese) not really comprehensible, but it’s just a very, very wild ride.

Something completely different but also great is Dr. Slump by Akira Toriyama (the guy who went on to make dragonball after that, which I hate).

It is kiddy-manga, but I love his humor and I am simply amazed by the massively crazy stories and characters he threws in there. It’s the manga-equivalent to a very funny, short-paced book.

And ofcourse no list would be complete without Watchmen and Vendetta. :)

PS:I am currently saving up for the complete edition of calvin and hobbes.
