Graphic Novels/Comic Books
TheDozarian:
I jumped in this thread because I thought I had a few comics to recommend... (Walking Dead, Watchmen, V4V). Boy am I behind things... You guys have given me a bunch of new fodder for my own reading time... Thanks guys... You've just cost me a bunch of money...
:-D

So guys, I'm taking a class on graphic novels, and for our final project we have to pick and analyze a graphic novel. However, it cannot be Watchmen, The Dark Knight Returns, Kingdom Come or Maus, as we're studying all those in class. What would you reccomend for a 20 year old girl? I'd rather do something more based upon superheroes, possible alternate realities, but I don't have the best knowledge of what would be most appealing.
Dazed:
World's End from the Sandman series in my opinion. It's part of the series, but it can stand alone fairly well I think.
Tom:
Vegikitkat, if you're after superheroes then try Top 10 by Alan Moore, possibly a collection of Brian Michael Bendis' Powers, Alex Ross' Earth X, an alternate future for the Marvel universe or Kingdom Come which is also by Ross and, unsurprisingly is thematically similar to Earth X but about only a third the length of it with lost of apocalyptic/judeo-christian imagery. They all deal with power and responsibility in societies were almost everyone has powers and have seemingly forgotten Ben Parker's maxim. Powers and Top 10 also combine aspects of crime fiction genres.
Blue Kitty:
She can't do Kingdom Come man.
I would say the Walking Dead would be great to do a paper on.
