Graphic Novels/Comic Books
ThePrettyMonster:
Joker. Kind of dark but definitely worth the read

I've never really managed to get into American superhero comics. There's a number of reasons, I suppose. The ridiculous costumes, the proliferation of storylines, the ridiculous number of things you have to read to make sense of it all (Obsessions post just above is a perfect example of this). Anyway, to be nationalist, I have noticed that no one's been recommending any 2000AD, apart from one recommendation of The Ballad of Halo Jones, which is utterly, utterly fantastic. I just re-read it last night actually. Cruelly short (only three of a planned ten episodes were produced) but beautifully illustrated and imagined. As for the rest of 2000AD well, obviously,
(this picture never gets old).
Judge Dredd is FUCKING AWESOME. Buy all 11 trade paperbacks now. Start with the first. So very simple! When you've done that, Issues 1-4 of Strontium Dog (plus The Final Solution), and then start buying Rogue Trooper
That is all.
nobo:
I think i may be the only person in the world that reads graphic novels that didn't enjoy the watchmen.
Anyway, i'll add my list of reads:
Y the last man
Ex Machina
100 Bullets
I believe all 3 of these have been mentioned already.
Also
30 days of night - comics are just like the movie, but the art is a little more surreal
DMZ - follows a journalist in the demilitarized zone in new york during the second civil war.
supersheep:
I read a bunch of DMZ while I was in the states, it's quality. I'd also like to second The Walking Dead, some damn good zombie stuff.

You're not alone. I found it was nowhere near worth the hype it's always gotten. It's not bad, per se, I just really don't think it's all that good either.
