Never read end of the world. Dont care to. Dark Knight Returns is good, but I think is a little overrated. If you want to read Batman, go with Hush(greatest comic ever imo), The Killing Joke, or Court of Owls. Thanks I'll def check them out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ty21 Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 What are some really good graphic novels? Doesn't have to be superhero-based per se Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Court of Owls is awesome. It’s my fave Batman arc ever. Hush has some extraordinary artwork by Jim Lee but a pretty lame reveal which completely neutered the greatness of The Killing Joke imo.

Imagine the seedy violent underworld of Zootopia. The artwork is incredible. Edited January 16, 2018 by thrILL! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some are good, some arent. There are well over 100 issues now. Almost everything from Zenescope is like this. Alice in Wonderland, Robin Hood, Wizard of Oz...They do twists on popular stories. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After that if you are still looking for more bats, keep reading Snyder's run. The only thing I might skip is the Zero Year arc. His Batman Eternal weekly is also tight, reminds me of Hush but more drawn out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More like Flashpoint really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Side note, I wish DC would turn the Flashpoint universe into something like the Ultimate Universe was for Marvel #pipedream). It didnt really offer any good insight into what's happening and then they launched Metal which I am starting to hate. That crossover is the only thing I havent liked about Tom King's run so far.

It took me a long time to comprehend the riddlers role and I'm still confused about one part even after reading an explanation of what went down. I was expecting batmans surgeon buddy to be the one and only main baddy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
O'Doyle Rules Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 300, watchmen, v for vendetta I really enjoyed. I agree that the dark knight returns is overrated. Killing joke and joker were really good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
