Discussion: What's your favorite graphic novel or comic?

Gimme your best recommendations.

I didn’t expect 2026 to be the year that I got into graphic novels and comics. But here we are. My buddy Jonny has gotten me to read a few over the years, including Mister Miracle, The Sheriff of Babylon, and V for Vendetta. I enjoyed them all but never really had a yearning for more. I don’t quite know what happened, but after recently reading a couple of Star Wars comics from the library, I went to the local bookstore and, for the first time ever, purchased a couple comics for my own library (Adam Glass’s Rough Riders and Frank Miller’s famed Batman: The Dark Knight Returns).

Sure, comics are damn entertaining and offer a nice escape from an unending and heavy news cycle — but they’re not just lightweight reading material. If the world needs anything right now, it’s a bunch of heroes with a real sense of right and wrong.

I’d love to explore this genre even more, which means I need your best recommendations for comics and graphic novels of any kind. Let’s hear it.
