Good reads

[ultimatevenom]

I want to start reading a wider range of titles so i was wondering what TPBS or hardbacks or whatever you would suggest reading?

 

Thanks

What have you read and what do you enjoy?

 

Off the top of my head I can think of dozens of TPBs I would recommend. If you haven't read these, they would be my first choice of non-mainstream titles to look for:

 

Mr. X

Bone

Strangers in Paradise

Archie Americana Series '40s, '50s and '60s

Zot

[sborock]

Fables

Transmetropolitan

Watchmen

Preacher

[FlyingDonut]

Carl Barks Donald Duck and Uncle Scrooge

Don Rosa Uncle Scrooge

Walt Kelly's Pogo Possum

Sugar and Spike

[economo-migration]

skip all that spandex-clad american bullcrap and read Blade of the Immortal, or Akira

[Zanarkand]

100 Bullets & Preacher in order or they won't make much sense.

Any Sandman book, any Cerebus dictionary.

[bobpfef]

Sugar and Spike

 

Are there any TBS or collections of these? I've been picking up reader copies when I can find them but have new for a nice book reprinting them. The best I have found is one of the old DC Digests.

TPB series I've read in the last couple of years that I would highly recommend:

 

Preacher

100 Bullets

Sandman (currently reading)

In addition to some great stuff already posted, I'd add some Oni Press stuff like Queen & Country to the list.

Any Valiant tpb you can pick up for $5 or less... well worth the read.

What Borock and OG said. Can't go wrong with those books.

 

Also, if you like horror stuff, check out "Hellblazer". And Alan Moore's run on Swamp Thing.

 

For superhero stuff, check out: Daredevil Visionaries Vol. 2 (Frank Miller's classic run), V for Vendetta, Batman: The Long Halloween.

 

One rule of thumb.....Can't go wrong with Vertigo titles.
