Books you should have read and you're embarrassed you haven't

 

X-men 94 and GSX #1.

[ADAMANTIUM]

@NoMan   I think that this is a good topic for a noob like me that's sure there are ton's of great stories out there!

Mine are embarassing but for not what you think:

Batman Adventures origin of Harley Quinn (thought the cartoon Batman the Animated Series was good enough)

Harley Quinn 1999 no # the origin of Harley Quinn within the DC Universe

and Amazing Spiderman 300, I mean I do have that silly Walmart mini ASM 300 just never read it.

I can think of a few.

Green Lantern 1 both Golden and Silver. Flash 1 Golden Age

Never read Showcase 4 or owned one. 

League of Extraordinary Gentleman

I didn't read Watchmen until the early 2000's.

Cerebus.

Even had the "Phone Books", but gave away with a huge TPB collection.

One day, I'll get to it.

Wait you are supposed to read them ? I just stare at them through their plastic coffin 

[Mercury Man]

Crisis On Infinite Earths 1-12.      

Multiple Universes, Multiple Heroes, Multiple Deaths....ugghhh my head hurts thinking about it. 

But I was mostly a Marvel zombie in the 1970's/80's/90's. 

[ComicConnoisseur]

Maus by Art Spiegelman. Always wanted to read it.

Invincible by Kirkman. Heard many good things about it.

Ragnarök by Walt Simonson. 

A bunch of post Watchmen  Alan Moore stuff like

The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen

Promethea

Tom Strong

You should read the ABC comics stuff...it all has different strengths. Tom Strong is old time wonder, Tomorrow Stories is anthology (with great Jack B Quick stories and a Greyshirt 8 pager that can be read front to back, back to front, top to bottom, or bottom to top and still tell the same story), etc.

 

I never finished Lone Wolf and Cub or Cerebus. Yes I have them all but just never read them. I stopped reading the Dark Horse LW&C digests around 23 of the 30 and stopped Cerebus maybe 15 issues from the end. I bought them and planned to read them but never did.

I just finished Lone Wolf and Cub on Comixology. An amazing series!

Lone Wolf and Cub was repetitive as heck. Don't thing you are missing much if you read the first 5 or 6

The first Top 10, yes. Procedural police drama set in comics and a ton of fun. Make you cry too maybe. When Alan Moore left it to Zander Cannon it was just okay.
