Best Graphic Novel and Comic Series

Thought I’d throw my quick two cents in on this topic.  Iread a lot of comics, mostly Marvel.  Who can read everything?  Who has the money?  The time?  Unless you work in a comic shop, you have to pick and choose.  I know I miss out on a lot of good stuff, like almost everything Vertigo puts out.  But time is hard to come by, especially considering I have 2 kids and am always reading 3 books (right now Legacy of the Force series, Knights of Myth Drannor series and Flight of the Nighthawks).

Anyway, my favorite single issue graphic novel is We3.  It is a story by Grant Morrison and Frank Quitely.  it is the story of three pets, a dog, cata nd rabbit, enhanced with cybernetics and turned into killing machines.  It- is- AWESOME.  if you haven’t read it, go get it.  Now.  i’ll wait.

And the best comics series of all time?  Preacher by Garth Ennis and Steve Dillon.  The story of a fallen Preacher with the Voice of God, his girlfriend Tulip and alcholic Irish vampire Cassidy.  it has everything you could want out of a comicbook: great story, great art, sex, violence, and awesome characters.  There are 9 trade paperbacks collecting the entire 66 issue run as well as a handful of one shots.  It is worth the time and worth the money.  They are talking about turning it into an HBO series.  i hope they don’t-you cna not improve on perfection
