Alan Moore, whenever he is creating characters is brilliant. It's what he does best. Like any great writer, Moore's characters have more life and depth to them than some flesh and blood people you'll meet in everyday life. His ability to create a world for them to live and interact with is equally outstanding. I was, however, annoyed with Dr. Manhattan's description of his understanding of time... more

| 2. Neil Gaiman and Charles Vess' Stardust: Being a Romance Within the Realms of Faerie | 
|
By: Neil Gaiman
Publisher: Dc Comics
1998-10
This happens to be one of my favorite movies ever. I think it can be loved by nearly all ages and all types of people. I loved all the actors, and I think Charlie Cox, who was little known before this movie will become a big star. He has an absolutely great smile and great laughter. This is something I hope to see more of in movies because I'm tired of the sour-looks that have seemingly become... more

By: Scott McCloud
Publisher: Dc Comics
1999-05
I've first see this book in my friend's home. I was amazed by colors, quality of paper and last but not least the content. I've never thought about the comics books in the way this one explains. and the form the explanation takes is adding a flavor to the reading experience. i'm enjoyed reading it (i did it already twice). this is a book that you can take from the shelf at any time, open at any page... more

| 4. Fables Vol. 13: The Great Fables Crossover | 
|
By: Bill Willingham, Matthew Sturges
Publisher: Vertigo
February 09, 2010
Fables began as a series in 2002, and gradually became extremely popular, generating first one spinoff series ("Jack of Fables") and the other original graphic novels and miniseries. "Jack" stayed mostly clear of its mother-title for the first few years, but now "The Great Fables Crossover" makes the first big story told through the entire franchise. Involved are the two aforementioned titles, as... more

| 5. Batman: The Dark Knight Returns |
|
By: Frank Miller
Publisher: DC Comics
May 01, 1997
It's a grippingly-told, amazingly-illustrated novel. If anyone thinks that Batman comics are just for kids, this is the one that will demolish that thought. It's a book that will make you re-examine beliefs and pose questions ... would you like to have a Batman in your town? In your life? Do the means justify the end? What problems can you solve with violence? And perhaps the most important one ... more

| 6. Batman: The Killing Joke |
|
By: Alan Moore, Brian Bolland
By: Brian Bolland
Publisher: DC Comics
March 19, 2008
This comic book has many, many great features. To begin, it has an excellent writer and illustrator. Moore's probing dialogue is enhanced by a dark, morally ambiguous world of illustrations. Furthermore, this story is incredibly simple. It features several usual characters posed in unique positions that criticize their more traditional mythology. The 'book' is less than 50 pages--less than an hour... more

|
By: Alan Moore
Publisher: Vertigo
October 24, 2008
No he doesn't have sex with the girl. It's another type of romance that this masterpiece is. It is not only a great story, but also a well drawn piece of art. I would suggest this to any Alan Moore fan and anarchist. Though it is funny that Guy Fawkes was chosen considering that the general opinion of Guy Fawkes in Britain is not a friendly one... more

| 8. The restaurant at the end of the universe |
|
By: Douglas Adams
Publisher: DC Comics
1994
The hitchhikers trilogy is great, just read all of the other hundreds of reviews. I would just recommend getting The Ultimate Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (or the hardcover The Ultimate Hitchhiker's Guide Deluxe Edition ) it has all five books in one and an extra short story and cost much less than buying the books separately... more

| 9. Batman: Arkham Asylum (15th Anniversary Edition) |
|
By: Grant Morrison
Publisher: DC Comics
November 01, 2005
admittingly, it doesn't have much violence, but it does dig deep into Arkham's history. Also, i love how you get a feel for the different characters voices with their type. Like Joker's hand drawn, crimson mess style of speech represents how chilling his voice is when heard. Plus you get a look at how Batman feels about his enemies and how they feel about being in a madhouse... more

| 10. Batman: Year One |
|
By: Frank Miller
Publisher: DC Comics
January 10, 2007
I really enjoy Frank Miller's vision of Batman, but this isn't my favorite of his works. I feel like the he missed an excellent opportunity to emphasize the moral ambiguity of an amateur vigilante. There are some scenes to suggest this, but the medium a short work like this doesn't allow the author ample time to develop such complex ideas. What I really want is a sequal, a Batman: Year Two. ... more
