Great graphic novels?

I tried to go through this thread and make kind of a 'To Read' list myself. OVERLOAD.
 
I've just bought the new League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, parts of which appear to be a musical in comic form. I am so excited.

I've just bought:
  • Transmetropolitan 3
  • House of Mystery 1
  • House of Mystery 2
  • Black Orchid
  • Y: The Last Man 1

And pre-ordered:
  • Sandman: The Dream Hunters
  • John Constantine, Hellblazer: Dark Entries

Should be in for a great month.
 
has anyone read The Surrogates?

It's a hate and like thing for me.
 
I'm reading Trans. Vol 2. Holy wow the Cryogenic Recovery story was fantastic.
 
I just bought a few comic issues for my friend. She's not very familiar with comics/graphic novels but is interested.

Transmetropolitan #8 Another Cold Morning (The Cryogenics story)

Filth #6 The World of Anders Klimakks (The one about the giant sperm created by the porn director)

Fell #1

It was probably a bad idea to get her anything from the Filth, it's just so damn confusing. I actually wanted to send her #10, which made me laugh out loud a few times.
 
I read a ton of issues of the Walking Dead and am now starting Maus.
 
I picked up a copy of Sandman: Endless Nights and The Dead Boy Detectives today. I say I picked them up, because I didn't buy them. The credit card system was broken at the shop and I couldn't be bothered to go and get cash out.

I have enough to read right now though so I don't know why I'm complaining.
 
Reading Preacher Vol 1, great fun. Anyone know if the full series is good?
 
Just finished all of Y: Last Man.

Ending had me teary.
 
I think I'll get this too or maybe DMZ...not sure now.
btw I hope Yorick is from Hamlet...

I've heard that's amazing, from almost every person who's read it and assumes I get my name from it. I think I'll have to pick it up.

Okay, I will tell you right now, Y:LM left me with very mixed feelings. It is by no means a perfect series. It starts off and finishes up very well, but there are some serious issues with it at times.

The entire series could, and should have probably been 7-8 volumes instead of 10, because there is a lot of unnecessary filler in the story. Volumes 6-8 are almost painfully repetitive.

There is a lot of campy dialogue that you have to get used to as well.
 
I cannot stress enough that y'all need to pick up Grant Morrison's Joe the Barbarian #1. Already set to be the best comic series of the last 5 years for me. The art is just nuts.
