QC Fans - Graphic Novel Recommendations
Mr_Rose:
Oh, yeah, so seconding Red Son. Definitely.
Also:
V for vendetta; the original of the film is rather more detailed in parts, and clarifies a bunch of the questions the movie left hanging.
Y: the Last Man is sort of difficult to get hold of but worth it I think. Goes a bit Whedon at the end but that's a good thing to a lot of people.
And, finally: Nausicaa of the valley of the wind. The original source the movie is taken from.
allison:
Fun Home by Alison Bechdel. I try to lend it to as many people as possible because oh my god so so good.
If you want to be depressed for the rest of your life, try Jimmy Corrigan: The Smartest Kid on Earth. It is a really good read but probably one of The Saddest Things I Have Ever Read.
Tom:
Essex County by Jeff Lemire, it's a fictionalised account of his home town. His style is very rough but it's incredibly expressive.
Young Liars by David Lapham, this series is unforgettably crazy. At it's core are two characters, a love-sick wannabe rock star and his band's violently impulsive vocalist. Lots of violence, crime and rock music.
Cartilage Head:
Definitely have to read Bone by Jeff Smith, man. Bone is great. LoveJaneAusten was correct in recommending Persepolis. Of course you should read Scott Pilgrim if you enjoy or ever have enjoyed videogames and would get all the references. Sin City of course. Also if you are one for manga might I suggest Battle Royale. Also you absolutely must read Maus by Art Spiegelman.
I actually found the comic version of Kick-Ass to be kind of racist. Made me a little weirded out.
Tom:
Millar's name alone is enough to get me to avoid a book.
