Exaggeration is the only reason things get sold. But the most amazing thing is when the exaggeration was right. :)

Well, I'm not exaggerating when I say that you need to read Dogwitch! Strong leading lady? You bet! Gorgeous art? Yeah, got that too :D

The complete story is available in three trades.
Season.1: Direct to Video
Season.2: Twisted
Season.3: Mood Swings

I cannot recommend these highly enough.

[NOTE: This post started as its own thread about Superman: Red Son. However, I thought it encouraged discussion that was more in line with this thread, so I merged it here. --"Curiosity Inc."]

well this is not a deep reading but interesting. I found could the story and the art. The politics is somewhat estereotipical but interesting.
I loved batman in that book, and superman looks somewhat scary...

i would like to read something interesting and brilliant as watchmen because the only gn read i have had is very basic alan moore y frank millers.
so anything interesting please tell me(don't have to be superheroe things)

I'm currently ploughing through Morrison's Invisibles series of collected issues. Book 5 atm.

Christ! Who needs drugs when you've got Grant Morrison.


The series is playful, violent, weird, funny, warm and terrifying. Rewarding result of an unfettered imagination. Lots of nods to Moore.

Tom O'Bedlams guided tour of the city for Jack Frost is a bit like "From Hell Part Deux".

Check them out!

Last year, during Christmas, I read some of the greatest graphic novels (Watchmen, LxG), and I want to repeat that great reading experience. What does WCM recommend?

Apart from a re-read? :P

How many of the LxG's have you read?
You read From Hell, yet?

Don't wanna re-read, and I read LxG volumes 1 and 2. Haven't read From Hell or V for Vendetta, though.

Try LxG "3" Black Dossier. And From Hell. V for Vendetta is also worthwhile.

When you are done with those try Gaiman's Sandman.

Throw in a reread of Watchmen while you're at it; who knows, analyzing (pretty sure it already is) this book could make a career.

Definitely read V For Vendetta and Sandman.
