1.Watchmen by: Alan Moore April 01, 1995
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: $19.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: $10.99 You Save: $9.00 (45%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: $12.24
Watchmen is an immensely dark and philosophical tale that feels like a window into a parallel universe. The writing and visuals jointly convey the characters' complex humanity while exploring them with brutal reality. Watchmen is rich with questions of psychology and existential philosophy, and works as the definitive deconstruction of its genre. I find that the quality of a piece of literature can be judged by its re-readability and what each subsequent experience offers. There exist so many layers of meaning in this novel that it is barely feasible to grasp them all in one pass. Re-reading almost becomes a necessity in this case, presenting a VERY compelling reason to own a copy rather than just borrowing one. Not everything that is considered a classic truly ... Read More

2.Batman: The Dark Knight Returns by: Frank Miller May 01, 1997
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: $14.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: $8.99 You Save: $6.00 (40%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: $9.90
Frank Miller returned Batman to his gritty glory with this piece. For so long in the 60's and 70's the Batman had become tame and cartoony. However Batman returned to his dark roots, and Gotham became the concrete jungle it should've been once more. This story also re-defines the relationship between Batman and Superman. The World's Finest Superheroes would never really get along in real life, and this story brought that out in wonderful fashion.

3.Batman: The Killing Joke by: Alan Moore, Brian Bolland March 19, 2008

There really isn't anything I an add that hasn't already been mentioned by other reviewer's: the comic looks great, the story is entertaining and provides (as far as I know) an unprecedented look into the origins of The Joker, and The Joker is just an awesome character in here. It is a bit short (you can probably finish it off in less than an hour, though I spent quite a bit of time examining the artwork) and a bit cliche (Batman and The Joker are the same) but still very enjoyable. Check it out, it's well worth the $10 and the hour it takes to read it.

4.Batman: Year One by: Frank Miller January 10, 2007

This provides an interesting take on the origins of Batman, but it is equally (if not more) about Lieutenant Gordon's beginnings in Gotham City, which I didn't expect, but also didn't mind. I did enjoy the art and style, and much of the color was particularly impressive to me. You do get to see a bit of an amateur and clumsy Batman, but I was far more intrigued by Gordon; his various conflicts seemed to hold a stronger influence throughout. If you're looking for a more comprehensive and in-depth portrayal of the origins of Batman himself then I would recommend Batman Begins, which seemed to be strongly influences by this series. Overall, it was quite good but not great. If you're a fan of Batman or Miller than it's well worth the price.

5.Batman: The Long Halloween by: Jeph Loeb, Tim Sale November 01, 1999
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: $19.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: $13.59 You Save: $6.40 (32%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: $8.50
This is probably one of the first stories that really showed Harvey Dent as a tragic figure in the Batman universe rather than some demented villain with a duel identity issue. The Long Halloween probably did the best of showing the relationship of Batman, Jim Gordon, and Gotham's DA Dent. That is of course until The Dark Knight came in theaters. However you can see where pieces of this story inspired the feature film.

6.Batman: Arkham Asylum (15th Anniversary Edition) by: Grant Morrison November 01, 2005
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: $17.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: $12.23 You Save: $5.76 (32%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: $9.60
For any beginning comic reader, and even more so for anyone else, "Arkham Asylum" is essential. Claimed by DC to be the best-selling graphic novel of all time, "Arkham Asylum" is deep, psychological, terrifying, and as dark as any comic I've ever read. Grant Morrison writes with an explorative and bleak psychology reminescent of Alan Moore -- but Moore's own darkly contemplative and psychological Batman work, 1988's "Batman: The Killing Joke," was never this ghastly. Thanks to Dave McKean's beautiful and utterly horrific artwork, which is really the embodiment of the word "nightmarish," "Arkham Asylum" is like venturing into the depths of madness itself. The book personifies "Arkham Asylum," comparing it to a living creature. When Arkham is taken over by its inmates, Batman must enter the mouth of the ... Read More

7.Y: The Last Man, Vol. 10: Whys and Wherefores by: Brian Vaughan July 01, 2008

I was rather disappointed in this last volume and felt that it was rather anticlimactic. I had to go back and re-read volumes 8 and 9, because I came to realize that the climax has already occurred in those volumes, and volume 10 just wraps up the story. Over-all, however, the series was excellent and is highly recommended. I hope the upcoming movie project does it justice.

8.V for Vendetta by: Alan Moore, David Lloyd April 01, 1995
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: $19.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: $13.59 You Save: $6.40 (32%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: $9.44
The V for Vendetta Graphic Novel is an astounding book. It is the depiction of the movie (if you watched it first like I did) and it is a more in-depth look at Codename V. I recommend this book to anyone who is a fan of: V for Vendetta the motion picture, graphic novels, or even comic books. (since it so closely relates to one)

9.Diary of a Wimpy Kid by: Jeff Kinney April 01, 2007

If there was an "IT" book of 2008 in the school where I teach 5th grade, forget about Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows; it had to be Jeff Kinney's Diary of a Wimpy Kid. Book orders could not send copies fast enough. Book stores could not restock their shelves quickly enough. Everywhere I turned I was met by a student with his or her nose buried in its pages. So naturally, I had to see what all the fuss was about. Greg Heffley is your everyday, run-of-the-mill, middle school "wimp". Sure, someday he's going to amount to something big, but for now, he's "stuck in middle school with a bunch of morons." Greg's journal, not "diary", but "journal", takes us through the hilarious events that make up Greg's days in his first year of middle school. Lucky for us, whether it's avoiding his older brother Rodrick, or abusing ... Read More
