here's my top 13 list of graphic novels mostly because I can't list 20 on top of my head 13. All new wolverine by Tom taylor i think is criminally underrated in my opinion 12. daredevil born again 11. The dark phoenix saga 10. Death of superman 9.batman year one 8. Amazing Spider-Man by JMS 7. Spider-girl aka mayday parker the daughter of Peter parker and Mary jane by tom defaco and ron frenze 6. Bloodshot salvation by Jeff lemire which is really great 5. Invincible by robert kirkman 4. Action comics rebirth by Dan jurgans 3. Ultra mega a great indie book 2. Superman rebirth by Peter J tomasi and Patrick gleason 1. Super sons by Peter J tomasi and Jorge Jimenez is my favorite series of all time mostly because its has my boys Jonathan Samuel Kent superboy be his little 10 year old self and Damian wayne robin being great friends and going on fun adventures.

I get filled with oodles of joy when I see that you’ve posted a video.

Great video man. It's awesome to see and hear how much you love comics. Very inspiring. Thanks for the must reads!

Love the new background or shelf or whatever

I think your right about all star Superman. I hated Superman and then I read all star Superman and felt like I finally get why people like him. All star Superman made me a fan of Superman when I thought it couldn’t be done.

Thanks your recommendations are always spot on

Awesome vid , thanks for the list

This was a pretty good list. I'm gonna try to do a Top 5. Here goes: 1. Batman: The Long Halloween by Jeph Loeb and Tim Sale 2. Firepower by Robert Kirkman and Chris Samnee Volume 1 3. Superman: Secret Identity by Kurt Busiek and Stuart Immonen 4. Geiger by Geoff Johns and Gary Frank 5. Spider-Man: Spider's Shadow by Chip Zdarsky and Pasqual Ferry

Great list man. Your og 20 must read graphic novels was the first vid on your channel I watched so it’s nice to see this throwback to it. Here’s my top 20 in no particular order: 1. X-men god loves man kills 2. Killing joke 3. Kingdom come 4. Wolverine by Claremont and Miller 5. Kraven’s last hunt 6. New frontier by Cooke 7. DKR 8. Watchmen 9. All star Superman 10. Sweet tooth 11. Daredevil born again 12. Snake eyes declassified 13. JH no way back 14. V for vendetta 15. Dark Phoenix saga 16. Batman year one 17. Five ghosts 18. Invincible 19. Gideon falls 20. Death of Superman

Might be biased her cus it was one of the first comics I read, but the OG Bendis-Bagley Ultimate Spider-Man run should be here

Mine are 1.Invincible Robert Kirkman 2. Batman Hush 3. Shazam To Hell and Back 4.Mr. Miracle 5.Dark Knight Death Metal omnibus Invincible was one of the things that got me into comics. I really like the art, characters, and story. I used to be a huge manga and anime guy, but Invincible and some stuff from DC got me into comics. I bought compendium 3 and that alone made me happy for comics. I still have it to this day. It is one of the things that makes me want to create my own comic. I mostly want to create monster comics.

Kill or Be Killed is amazing!! Im really happy to see it on here!

There were some books on your list I didnt expect or even knew about, so thanks for the suggestions, its been 2-3 years since I read a book last time and I think this is the time I return and read some good ones. Also, if I made this list most of the it will be filled with Grant Morrison books😆. I read and loved most of his works before I even knew he wrote them.

Dude I am jealous of you right now you got that Super Sons omnibus behind you back there. That damn books out of print sadly

In no order mine would probably be Batman The Long Halloween Batman Ego Batman Year One Batman Court/City of owls Batman Black Mirror Flash Rebirth (2009) Spider-Man Blue Spider-man Kraven's last hunt Spider-Man birth of venom Daredevil Born Again Daredevil The man without fear Judas Contract Any Story arc from Chuck Dixon's Nightwing Superman Up Up and away All Star Superman Watchmen Invincible either volume 1 or invincible war Moon Knight 2006 first volume Green Lantern Rebirth Anything from ultimate spider-man

Great list man

Hmm…Deadly Class. May need to check this out! Thanks

Not necessarily a top 20 but a couple that I would call must reads outside your list would probably include stuff like Gideon Falls, DC: The New Frontier, Grant Morrison’s Animal Man, Arkham Asylum a Serious House on Serious Earth, Saga, Alan Moore Miracleman, Planetary, Spider-Man Life Story, Lemire’s Moon Knight. Most of these break the Graphic novel rule but everyone should read them lol

Love your list dawg, you definitely needed some Immortal or Planet Hulk. Another great Kirkman book was his Irredeemable Ant-Man. Also, what are your thoughts on Spencer’s Kraven arc?

Love your picks! I went and clicked the like and subscribe for ya

Here's my list of must read graphic novels. Marvels Old Man Logan Superman: For All Seasons Red Atlantis Dead Day Daredevil: The Man Without by Frank Miller Batman: The Long Halloween

Awesome Video! You got yourself a sub 😄

Some video suggestions: Your personal 20 favorite graphic novels What you love about comics (as literature) and superheroes What you don’t love about comics and superheroes Where you think comic books can improve and what they can do differently and better

New bookshelf? Also cool list but I would add the long Halloween imo best Batman comic also annihilation and sinestro corps war

I actually read the Novelization of Kraven's Last Hunt and having a better appreciation for the character and reading the second coming of the Sinister Six issue and loving knowing why Kravin wasn't in the second coming. I will try to find the graphic novel for Kraven's Last Hunt because its time to enjoy the artwork at least for me😁.

I book I would recommend is Spider-Man blue

I wanted to add a graphic novel that is definitely a must buy if your a fan of Darth vader. The Charles Soule run of Darth vader vol. 1: Imperial machine, art by Giuseppe Camuncoli, from 2017-2018. This takes place immediately after the events of Revenge of the Sith as its Vader’s quest to get his red lightsaber, my goodness that quest was amazing. Highly recommend

Silver surfer requiem Thor :Godbomb Hellboy: Seeds of destruction Marvel Civil War Daredevil born again

I highly recommend Rafał Mikołajczyk's comic "Invincible" is a graphic adaptation of Stanisław Lem's hard science fiction novel, published in 1964

Awesome man

I have a recommendation. The first volume of John ostranders suicide squad

Other than Cobras last laugh and No way back I've read all of these and most of them I agree with 100%. Though I thought you'd put some more Superman on there. Just something like American Alien. 😍😍😍

I like how you didn't include Dark Knight Returns haha

One I always come back to is Superior by Millar and Yu. Captain Marvel meets Superman.

1. Batman the court of owls 2. Batman R.I.P. 3. Civil War 4. Forever Evil 5. Sandman volume 1

cobras last laugh is amazing, definitely in my top 10

9:37 Hey I just got into the Netflix series! I was thinking of giving the book a read too for posterity, but how does the show compare to it if you’ve seen it?

Not mentioning the Sandman has got to be some sort of comic book sin

My top 5 is: 1) Batman dark victory 2) Fortress Vader 3) Moon Knight (2016) 4) Watchmen 5) Batman: Arkham asylum

Neil Gaiman Sandman is really good too

Arkham asylum, Morrison 15. Killing joke, Moore 16. All star superman, Morrison 17. Born again, miller 18. Punisher max, Ennis 19. Green lantern, johns 20. Thor, Simonson Those are some of my must reads but in no particular order! Awesome video as always.

Do you ever do manga?

Dylan do you read/like fantastic four?

Apart of Alan Moore's titles, nothing here is a must have.

Dude can you slow down and show the Graphic novel for at least 5-8 seconds so that i can read the cover and i don't have to pause it to see what the book looks like? You show the book for 1-1.5 seconds it's annoying, what's the rush?

No Dark knight returns???! Treason.

Make Batman and Catwoman's Relationship Canon in the DC Comics Make Green Lantern and Star Sapphire's Relationship Canon in the DC Comics Make Aquaman and Mera's Relationship Canon in the DC Comics Make Wonder Woman and Steve Trevor's Relationship Canon in the DC Comics Make Superman and Lois Lane's Relationship Canon in the DC Comics Make Nightwing and Batgirl's Relationship Canon in the DC Comics Make Green Arrow and Black Canary's Relationship Canon in the DC Comics Make Joker and Harley Quinn's Relationship Canon in the DC Comics Make Constantine and Zatanna's Relationship Canon in the DC Comics Make Beast Boy and Raven's Relationship Canon in the DC Comics Make Flash and Iris West's Relationship Canon in the DC Comics
