+The Last Pepsi You forgot "Countdown to Dark". Also, the Captain America: Winter Soldier graphic novel stole it's concept from a Moon Knight/Spider-Man crossover comic from the 1990's. Even the youtube channel "Looper" brought this up as reasons why Moon Knight can't have a movie. Because everyone keeps taking his original ideas.

Ten trade paperbacks. ZERO graphic novels.

RamsTheNameCom it was their list,not mine

Thank you, this will help me not learn spoilers from the video.

good. now i can skip this video.

Ak Wilson Kraven's Last Hunt, fuck yes. That was a brilliant end for a classic villain. One that, to be honest, I hadn't thought much of. That story proved me wrong and put Spidey through one of his most traumatic experiences.

Yeah God loves man kills is amazing.

It's probably because marvel and dc get clicks

Ak Wilson definitely

What about CIVIL WAR?? When all issues are collected,that story will take you for a ride.

YES!

Brandon Akana Love it

I was surprised not to see this one, also.

I expected this to be the number 1 on the list. I was also suprised that Simonson's Thor wasn't there...He stood Alone....

I also expected to see this as number 1. Surprised it didn't even make the list at all.

@@sapanparekh3327 The reason they weren't on the list is because this list doesn't include ANY actual graphic novels; what it is referring to as "graphic novels" are actually just trade paperbacks, collected editions of previously published issues of regular monthly comic books. Some people incorrectly refer to all comic books as "graphic novels" because they seem to think that just calling them what they are, comic books, isn't "sophisticated" enough for them, and because they don't bother to learn that "graphic novel" is an actual established term for large, single issue, self-contained sequential art stories, often about heavier topics, as opposed to the ongoing monthly magazines that are regular comic books. Both DC and Marvel have established graphic novel lines; Marvel's were even called "Marvel Graphic Novels." Marvel Graphic Novel #1 was The Death of Captain Marvel, which dealt with Captain Marvel dieing of cancer, the attempt and failure of scientific genius superheroes such as Reed Richard's to cure cancer, Cap's death and funeral, and finally the fallout of his death and its effects on the superhero community and his archenemy Thanos. Marvel Graphic Novel #5: God Loves, Man Kills, was about a fanatical right wing religious group that targeted mutants for persecution as "abominations before God", assassinated mutant children, and delved into the twisted mind of the celebrity preacher Reverend William Stryker who lead them, until he tried to murder Kitty Pryde on nation television but was shot by a New York policeman who was there for security. *Those* are graphic novels. The only things on this list are trade paperbacks, which are most definitely not the same thing. People who refer to all comic books as "graphic novels" are just being pretentious because they think calling them comic books is childish and they want to use a more "serious" term. It's really annoying.

Felix Arm why didn't they mention that

One of the greatest books ever

It's an actual graphic novel as opposed to this list of trade paperbacks. Great book.

So all the stuff in the 60s and 70s wasn’t sophisticated like demon in a bottle Spider-Man no more if this be my destiny the night Gwen Stacy died return of the green goblin the coming of galactus the Phoenix saga I’m just saying marvel was doing this since the 60s and just because something isn’t dark doesn’t mean it can’t be adult I get that an adult world is different from a kid world but are you miserable or depressed 100% of the time or are you more happy and energetic and every now and then might get sad marvel is the house of ideas and they will stay like that from now to the end of time

Insane Ian Agreed!!

Insane Ian the other was pretty good

Insane Ian Kraven's Last Hunt made me cry.

dragon stare24 And those are?

I always thought that Spider-man: Blue was the best Peter Parker story though.

noobslayer135 Hell yeah! Great story!!

Great book read the Dan Slott runs too

I already loved silver surfer but when I read requiem I fell in love. Absolutely beautiful story

Ugh, what a SNORE that story is.

That story changed how I look at comics

Yeah I agree, I would've loved to see guardian devil.

RamsTheNameCom who wrote it, when did it come out, how can one collect it?

+Biggie Cheese Doug Moench wrote it, the graphic novel came out in 2010 and is worth $80 to $100 since it is very rare, the story itself was written back in 1979, and Doug Moench won an award for best story from it. Also because of "Countdown to Dark", a lot of comic book writes/artists hail the duo (Doug Moench writer/Bill Sienkivics Illustrator) as THE PRIME EXAMPLE of how a comic should be written and drawn. The best match up in the history of comics. By the way, there is no easy way of collecting for this story. If you want the individual issues they are worth about $50 a piece.

RamsTheNameCom is it collected in any Moon Knight epic collections? I’ve really wanted to get more into Moon Knight

+Biggie Cheese Nope, Epic Collections anthology completely skips over "Countdown to Dark". Since "Countdown to Dark" was printed in the back pages of Hulk Magazine. You know Lupis the Werewolf who cameos in that Jeff Lemire Moon Knight story? He's from "Countdown to Dark". You know the story of Marc Spector killing his brother with a grenade which was mentioned in the Max Bemis comics? Well that happened in "Countdown to Dark". If you haven't read any of the new Moon Knight comics then good, they all suck and wrote Moon Knight completely wrong. Moon Knight is not suppose to be insane nor have multiple personality disorder.

RamsTheNameCom The only thing I really read on Moon Knight is the Warren Ellis Run, And whenever he showed up on Ultimate Spider Man? What comics do you recommend and what is Moon Knight supposed to be If not insane?

Yeah, missing Triumph & Torment invalidates this list IMO.

And yet, Watchmen, The Dark Knight Returns, Sandman, etc. are just collections of monthly comics. Graphic Novels don't exist at all, the name Graphic Novel is just comercial propaganda that tries to make comics to sound more "sophisticated", you are reading comicbooks, be proud of it. This list is a good excuse to recommend good comicbooks.

Yes they are all graphic novels. Just because it was not released as part of marvels graphic novel line does not mean they are not graphic novels. By all definitions, they are graphic novels. Stop being snobby and just enjoy the list and people talking about comics.

Tanner Heslet just because your mom keeps on feeding you bullshit to make you happy, these are NOT graphic novels

Kardboard Kenny Yes they are. 😂 By definition they are graphic novels. A TPB is a graphic novel by definition. Stop being stupid.

NodMan: I respectfully disagree. But if you want to argue about it, please wait until I've read it.

Agreed...if we're only referring to Garth Ennis' and Jason Aaron's run that is.

Marvel Maverick the garth ennis run was lit

NodMan Hell yeah

NodMan AGREED. And any Garth Ennis Punisher story.

Lone Wolf I HAD THAT THOUGHT TOO IT JUST SEEMS LIKE THE PERFECT MATCH

Because both the Punisher and Tarantino both have to be rated R and rated R movies dont make as much money as nice safe PG-13 movies do. The only thing Hollywood hates more then a minor risk, is new ideas.

Saige Hope it did it could've been a gritty revenge movie like Kill Bill or Django with deposition

Ogdamastakilla I'm ok with those movies but I would be loved to see it

Arthas Menethil that is so true no one had any idea that Reservoir Dogs would be so loved and such a cult classic

Wolverine story, 'Origin' is better... Old Man Logan is too morbid and it's basically 'Wanted' Marvel edition, Origin is specifically tailored for Wolverine.

BioCapsule Huh, everyone to their own I guess.

BioCapsule "too morbid"

Old man Logan isn't a great comic in my opinion, but Logan is a great adaption to a naff graphic novel

To me it's kind of overrated. Film was way better

WalmartSlayer exactly!

What's the difference between a graphic novel and trade paperback?

Yes they are all graphic novels. Just because it was not released as part of marvels graphic novel line does not mean they are not graphic novels. By all definitions, they are graphic novels. Stop being snobby and just enjoy the list and people talking about comics.

@@tannerheslet5347 no a graphic novel is something like Frank Miller's 300 or Alan Moore's V for vendetta

Both stand alone stories, like 'the man without fear' and issue compilations in trade form are under the umbrella term ' graphic novel'.

That fight was pretty sweet.

Yoav Cohen or Dark horse

Or Warren Publishing.... Or Dynamite Comics.

It's about views, sadly, i don't think a top 10 image comics would get as many views, which is a shame.

Or Milestone

Yoav Cohen And Valiant, IDW, Action Labs, and Dark Horse Horse

Angry Dwarf Studios there is a KZfaqr by the name of The Rageaholic that has a list for daredevils fans. Go check him out.

Yes they are all graphic novels. Just because it was not released as part of marvels graphic novel line does not mean they are not graphic novels. By all definitions, they are graphic novels. Stop being snobby and just enjoy the list and people talking about comics.

Tanner Heslet you need to learn what a graphic novel is. these are trade paperbacks.

Hey SD Brad & Kardboard Kenney, re: Merriam-Webster Graphic Novel (noun) a novel in the form of comic strips. Graphic = Of or related to pictures (i.e. - Illustrated) + Novel = A fictional prose narrative of considerable length Und so Graphic Novel = An illustrated A fictional prose narrative of considerable length So in this case the terms 'graphic novel' and 'trade paperback' are interchangeable.

Yeah except for the fact that it's a trade paper back and not a graphic novel.

Right. This Graphic Novel got me to leave Spiderman.
