OK folks:
I'm looking to find a comic/graphic novel or two to read. I have never read any. I don't really want super hero stuff, or stuff I've seen adaptations of (Watchmen, Walking Dead). I'd really like a couple recommendations of quality stories in this medium. In the OP the one that stood out was Y: The Last Man.

Both Y the Last Man and Preacher are pretty much the equivalent of comic-book-crack. Both are collected in trade and believe me when I say that you won't be able to stop after the first paperback's over. With both of these series, I was buying volumes in batches of three at a time.
If I had to give the edge to one in particular, I'd go with Preacher. It's my favorite comic book series of all time.
That fucking walk, man.

I though comixology was an account based thing. Aren't the books stored online?
Invincible #96: Kirkman did a horrendous job telling this back and forth Monster Girl and Robot storyline. I like Invincible, a lot actually, and this arc had some good substance, but it was set up in a way that made me embarrassed to be reading the book.
Indeed they are, but i kinda wanted to store EVERYTHING at the same time
I didn't plan ahead for how much room that would take.
Twice. Considering i bought a 16GB Kindle Fire to use as a reading device/mp3 player/comics on the treadmill, etc. I don't think it will have enough storage space to fit all i want on it, but in this case i have a month to return it thanks to Best Buy's holiday return policy incase i want to get the 32GB version. And ipad has a really terrible comixology finding past purchases app. It's not like the android one where it lists the books by series quickly, you have to scroll past individual album art gallery things.

Phonograph: The Singles Club
Y: The Last Man
Transmetropolitan (if you enjoy following politics or are a fan of Hunter S Thompson)
I've never been too into Telltale's adventure games (love me some old school LucasArts stuff, though) but The Walking Dead on 360 is fantastic.
Read the first 5 or so TWD trades and enjoyed it.
Watched the first 1.5 seasons of the show and hated it
Played the first episode of the game and LOVED it.
Can't wait for their Fables adaptation now... gonna be SO good.
Willingham is closely involved, the story will be "canon", and apparently the first 3 trades are a good primer before playing (i'd read the first 11 to be perfectly honest. those first 75 issues are a really good story.)

Whoa they're making a Fables one? That Walking Dead game is the best Walking Dead thing. I hope its good too. I just got the trade for Fairest.

Thanks, I'll check these out.
Still open to other suggestions from people as well though.

I just. . .
yeah.

However it's insight into why Clevelanders hate Pittsburgh so much. That is all I've learned this day.

Watchmen is a book you should read twice about 6 months apart. That second time around is so satisfying.

I think it took me six months to read it the first time.
It's a daunting piece of work.
Reality is I read an issue a week or something, everything. I didn't skip shit. If there were words I was reading them.
Why you so crazy Alan Moore?!

I'm not saying I'll never read it, I'm just saying I want my first foray or two into the medium to be something I don't already know the plot of.

also, if you're at all interested in comics or American horror or amazing stories click this:
Is this actually Lovecraft mythos or just an homage with the name?
yes but if history is kind, it will be remembered as a New American Horror Classic
of all the reasons that cover is amazing, BP holding the planet front-and-center is the best.
i love that hickman is making his avengers diverse, too.
a global team whose makeup accurately reflects the world, and not in a cheesy 90s way - finally!

Seeing panther at the forefront does my heart good.
So...comics are retreading back towards the 90's. Super

Bets on how soon the X-Men start to outsell the Avengers and Marvel does another "creative shift" where the best X-artists and writers suddenly end up on the Avengers?
Bendis to replace Hickman on Avengers confirmed.

Y'know!
Apple "upgrade" process in one simple step:
- But new overprice iDevice!
Journeyed to the Eastern lands today for Planetoid #2. While I was there I snagged Peepo Choo 1&2 and Sgt. Frog vol.21.
Here's some shit I just found out about and need to buy too!

Are you going through a drunken phase like I did in '04? :|

Fuck, i need to decide between regular ass avengers or new.

I'd pick the one by Hickman.
Hickman, Openis, and that guy with the fancy crayons. It's gonna be pretty good. At least that's what I hope, and I've never found the Avengers exceedingly interesting.
Best bet: Drop something else and buy both. I hope Hickman doesn't let me down and go Bendis Style on tanking two avengers books at once.
not yet
they're both intertwining and written by Hickman. both or bust.

I already am doing Uncanny because i loved Xforce. In Rick I trust. I guess I could do both. I just hate trades because if I like the book I have to wait for the next trade.
BlueScrote

I dropped uncanny avengers because I simply don't care about the characters. Scarlet Witch, Havok, and Rogue don't do anything for me.
So pretty much all of them?i'll just buy the issues he draws
just like i do with batwoman and JHW3

I didn't see the new thread until today. I missed the post from last month's thread that had the link. I need to check and see what comes out this week.
straight up, dude.
rick's fear agent styled cap run is going to be great, so that'll fill the void uxf leaves.
