This is a question that I get asked by lots of people on the channel. It was a tough decision and I thought lots about it. But after a week or so of writing down a list, I finally released the first of a two part video that shows my top 20 non superhero graphic novels and why. This part contains ten of those choices so I hope you enjoy.

On a side note I will say that this was recorded late at night and why I probably got Invincible and Invisibles all jumbled together. ;)

I have yet to see any of the many comic book based KZfaqrs i follow that actually turn through the pages up close so you can actually see the art. And the sound of you turning the pages...you can hear the various qualities of paper stock 😂. Absolutely fuckin fantastic. Please don't ever stop. You have a new subscriber.

Thanks for adding more books to my want list..lol. I love that the first book you chose was 100 Bullets. It's one of my favourites of all time. I always felt they could have continued 100 Bullets in a secondary title that focused on the individual stories like in the early stages of the series with flashbacks to people/events of the bigger story. A number of titles you mentioned are on my reading list already, although I would have chosen Deadly Class instead of Fear Agent just because I grew up an 80's kid and can relate. But that's just my preference. Don't even get me excited about Fables. If I could I'd be out looking to buy the hardcovers right now if I could afford them. A great list and I can't wait to see your next ten list!

Lloyd, it's what I do. BTW Books are shipping out Friday. :) There was a story after the 100th issue a collection of the Brother Lono miniseries. But I would love a continuation of the main series. This list was hard to put together. Mainly because of things like you mentioned. I'm a child of the 80s and Deadly Class is a mix of Game of Thrones meets Naruto meets Harry Potter, but Fear Agent just spoke to me more. Thank you for watching, brother.

Fables is the first comic book series I collected. It was an easy intro for me because I like fables and fairytales and the art style is great. I'm a few issues into Saga. And I've read the first issue of 100 Bullets and you've convinced me to keep going. Added other ones you talked about to my TBR. Thank you.

Descender was good I enjoy it as a serious but I don't think it's one of Jeff lemire's best and I do agree with you there I I do have a feeling for Jeff Lemire as well For me personally Jeff of mirror is like tide right now for me like the top five writers right now they're really good in our on their game right now. But I feel a little different about your feelings about his art style I really enjoyed I think it's really good I mean the way he handles a panel when he's drawing it because he knows when he's drawing and running at the same time he knows how they should all mesh together I mean yeah I do agree it can be hard to look at his artwork at sometimes but I think it is actually really good work he's doing something that most people can't do when he draws. And it's very rare we have someone that can write and draw at the same time so I'm personally I'm not going to knock him for that because that's that's double Talent it right there if you can write the story that's great but if you can also draw at the same time that's even better like he's his own cameraman director everything.

My man! 1. First off, I LOVE that you started with "100 Bullets"! One of my favorite graphic novel series of all time! Brian Azzarello and Eduardo Risso to me are on par with classic teams such as Brubaker and Phillips or Loeb and Sale or O'Neil and Adams. Totally agree with you about the artwork. It's extremely cinematic. (Though, I think that it would make a better TV series.) 2. I love "Usagi Yojimbo". When I first saw the TMNT cameo in the book, I thought I would be taken out of it, but it actually worked! 3. I enjoy "Preacher", though if I had choose a Garth Ennis book, I would have chosen "Hitman". (That would however, break your rule of NON-superhero books) 4. I totally agree with you about Grant Morrison writing very pretentiously at times! (Totally with you on how confusing "Final Crisis" was! I was so disappointed, too, because I was so looking forward to read a DC Universe Crisis event from the beginning, but "Final Crisis" was incomprehensible.) 5. "Maus": As someone who lived in Germany and actually visited concentration camps, I would say that this is a book that should be REQUIRED reading in schools. 6. "Fables": I have yet to read this series, but I was curious: The original stories for classic fairy tales are actually pretty dark, often graphically violent...is the series more an adaptation of the original stories, as opposed to the "Disneyfied" versions? Awesome show, brother!

When people think of Superhero comics they think of the big two DC and Marvel. Characters bigger than life and with superpowers. Uncle Scrooge, Strangers in Paradise, Usagi Yojimbo and Y the Last Man for example never feature a super hero. I can see the confusion when I cheated a little bit with Sandman though.

With the comic book industry having putting with shit superhero characters lately (LOOKING AT YOU NEW WARRIORS AND CHILDREN OF THE ADAM) I prefer to stay away from that kind of genre expect for a select few.... But I defently enjoy my other graphic novels that are not super hero related..... Kind of wish there were more horror graphic novels though besides junji ito's work. I also try to go with hardcover if available because the soft covers can damage and rip easy. Imo I feel like everyone has saga in their collections, it's a pretty popular graphic novel series.
@NearMintCondition
@NearMintCondition 4 жыл бұрын
It's because its an excellent graphic novel. As far as the New New New New Warriors or Children of the atom, I haven't read those so I have no clue how good they are. There a couple of Horror manga like Presents or The Ring, Cats Eye and of course Monster.

I can really appreciate Spiegelman's efforts. Proving to the western crowd that comic books are a genuine art form back when most people thought they were childish and not worth any adult's attention. I do find the visual storytelling of Maus to be more powerful than any Holocaust novel I've read at school and I DO wish Maus was part of that curriculum. Why IS the medium of comics considered more childish than novels anyway? Because they have visuals? With that logic, are classical paintings and statues childish, too? Thankfully, this flawed logic is slowly disappearing.
