Would the Walking Dead series be considered graphic novels? I really am interested in getting into the series, heard they are 100x better than the show.
Not sure if they are a true graphic novel or not, but they are absolutely incredible. You will not be disappointed.

I'm thinking about getting into some good batman comics, but I have a question. Is there a specific order I should read them in? Are they connected in anyway or do I just read them in whichever order I want?
I heart this thread. Would also add Batman: Arkham Asylum. Some of the most twisted artwork I've ever seen in this medium.
I will tell you what I told someone in the Dark Knight thread.... Start with Batman:Year One by Frank Miller. Batman starts his career off with foiling some petty larceny and works his way up the criminal ladder to take on Falcone. Origin of Catwoman included Follow with Batman: The Long Halloween by Jeff Loeb- a 1 year story arc where Batman tries to hunt down a serial killer who murders it's victims on holidays. expands upon Batman's relationship with organized crime and Catwoman. Also ties into the events that turns Dent into Two-Face Follow that with Batman: Dark Victory by Jeff Loeb - sequel to the Long Halloween, picks up with a new killer offing cops from Year One (among others). Also introduces Robin and explores the territorial shift/Batman's focus of Gotham between the mob and the freaks (Joker, Penguin, etc.) after that It's up to you, I'd suggest some stand alone stories like The Ki11ing Joke or other story arcs like The Dark Knight Returns and son on and so on
All the Loeb/Sale books are tits. Spider-Man blue (my fav Spiderman story) DareDevil yellow Hulk grey Batman Long Halloween & Dark Victory Superman For All Seasons (my personal fav Supes story of all the times) ~~~~~~~~~~~ Before Nolan's movies, this was my favorite (unofficial) trilogy of Batman stories.
It's a comic series, not a stand alone story (or stories) like a true graphic novel. That said, absolutely pick it up. you can Spoiler torrance everything from #1-#90 something and you'll just burn through them. Outstanding.
Read Darwyn Cooke's 1st TPB from his 2000s run on Catwoman (Trail of the Catwoman). Pretty sweet. I'm a huge Cooke fan, and this was pretty classic. It's hard to get me interested in female leads, but he did it. I also liked Manhunter, which had a female lead, but I forget who did that. Ostrander?
Read Batman Earth One a few days ago. I thought it was pretty good. It's pretty dark and is a bit on his childhood with some twists. Gonna buy Year One here soon.
Never read one... I also do not fully understand what they are. Do they all have pictures? Are they hard to follow?
Reading Persepolis right now, about 80 pages in. Excellent so far! This is my first graphic novel. What did you think about the book?
Was actually an 8 part mini series,but done in graphic novel style: Elektra: Assassin by Frank Miller and Bill Sienkiewicz. I'm not sure how the color/quality reproduction(s) in omnibus form stack up to the original comics,which looked amazing.
Like kentucky_dawg Im interested in starting the Walking Dead comics. I have never read a comic or graphic novel in my life. If you're not used to that style, is it hard to follow?
How many volumes are there? Im on a torrance site and I see a 1.5 GB volume 1-103. Does that seem right?
Y is the shit. His new book, Saga: When two soldiers from opposite sides of a never-ending galactic war fall in love, they risk everything to bring a fragile new life into a dangerous old universe. From New York Times bestselling writer Brian K. Vaughan (Y: The Last Man, Ex Machina) and critically acclaimed artist Fiona Staples (Mystery Society, North 40), Saga is the sweeping tale of one young family fighting to find their place in the worlds. Fantasy and science fiction are wed like never before in this sexy, subversive drama for adults.
