Hey guys and gals and et ceteras, I’ve got a question!

What are your favourite comics and graphic novels to give to non-readers? Alternatively, which ones got YOU hooked? I’m looking for standalone books or new series mostly, but feel free to give suggestions!

So, what would give for the holidays, and why?

  41. prairiehomocompanion answered: My favorite trade, and one of the first ones I ever bought is the Wolverine: Weapon X collecton from Marvel Comics Presents. It’s beautiful.

  44. thepanicthevomit answered: All-Star Superman and Watchmen, I guess… Obvious maybe, but they are both great.
  45. connell-vs-life answered: Superman: Red Son - Even non-readers know Supes and it’s an interesting to see him as a Soviet-era Ruskie super hero. Great social commentary
  46. nerdygirllove answered: Blankets is my favorite. I suggest it to everyone.
