Weeeellllllll... Technically, Treachery isn't released yet, but will be shortly, so that's cool.
Sam - I think I will make my second nomination : X-Men: X-tinction Agenda by Chris Claremont.
The Man In Black Fled Across The Desert...

Remember, Remember, The Fifth of November, The Gunpowder, Treason, and Plot.
I actually thought Treachery was just released, but I saw that it's not out yet. But, it will be this month, and the story is already available. So, no biggie.
I gotcha for your final nom.

Hurry up and get your nominations in people. The nomination thread will be closing soon, and that means you won't be able to make a nomination OR enter our contest without a very stern note from your mother. We need YOUR help. Nominate your favorite Graphic Novel and be entered for a chance to win TWO of the nominated entries.
That's right, the winner will get TWO of the graphic novels listed on page one of this thread. One will be the winner of the voting and the Comic Tower's choice for the Best Graphic Novel of All Time. The second will be one of the remaining titles chosen at random through a complicated system (my fedora and some slips of paper?). But you can't win if you aren't in.
Hurry and get entered.

I just looked at the list and realized that no one has nominated the infamous X-men: Mutant Massacre. With the far reaching consequences of that storyline, I am really surprised.

I should probably not be eligible for a prize either you guys. Just seems like a conflict of interest.
However, this is an amazing contest. Good job!
The kindness of close friends is like a warm blanket
Your call, Matt. I will put you on the list of exceptions. Thanks for nominating, regardless!Originally Posted by Matt

I couldnt nominate my favorite xmen story The Age Of Apocalypse because as a whole its divided into 4 gigantic tomes
if there were a contest for single greatest comicstory told then that would win
if the worlds gonna end then let's get it over with, i got shit to do
Good point about X-Men:AoA. That's an excellent story, for sure.
If anyone wants some recommendations, I just put up a thread based on independent Graphic Novels recommended by Wizard Magazine.

TDKR is my race-horse.
feev - Did you nominate that someplace in this thread? I don't see it in the nom list?TDKR is my race-horse.
I will go put it now. Please double check the first page... you get two !!

Whaaaaaaaat?!?! No one's nominated it yet?!
If that's the case ,then yes : I'm definitely nominating The Dark Knight Returns.
What!!! No Sandman nomination from you. I'm shocked Feev.Whaaaaaaaat?!?! No one's nominated it yet?!
If that's the case ,then yes : I'm definitely nominating The Dark Knight Returns.
Well I haven't read very many graphic novels yet, and I doubt this one will do well in the running, but I'd like to nominate Locke & Key. I just loved it, and it actually made me give other graphic novels a shot.
Only the gentle are ever really strong.
If all of Grant Morrison's X-Mens were in one volume, I'd nom that. I think that most superheroes (especially marvel) just lend themselves to longer, serialized stories.
Big town's got its losers, small town's got its vices...
Matt beat you to it dude and already nominated that title.Whaaaaaaaat?!?! No one's nominated it yet?!

Some titles that haven't been seen yet.
300. A book AND a movie. This is the book I recommend for those who think comics are just for kids.
Earth X. This story took Marvel and turned it on it's ear.
Crisis on Infinite Earths. 'Nuff said?
X-Men: Mutant Massacre. This story had very far reaching consequences.
Give Me Liberty. Another masterpiece.
Marvels. This is the story that did for Marvel what Kingdom Come did for DC but Marvels came first.
Just to name a few.

Ah, Crisis on Infinite Earths is definitly a classic, Sam. The story that defined the trend of "Mega Crossover", for better or for worse. Perhaps not exactly in my top 5, but still a great comic. Gotta be admired just for the sheer SCALE!
I'm surprised you didn't mention Identity Crisis. Scale wise it's the exact opposite of Crisis on Infinite Earths, and a very different, very unusual story for DC to tell, but that's why i think it's classic: a very different, very realistic look at the DC heroes is given to us for the 1st time, and really makes the reader realise how important a secret identity is to these guys. Add a top notch mystery thriller plot and you've got yourself an alltime DC classic!
Now i've already done my nominations, and i'm sticking to them, but isn't ANYONE going to nominate either Crisis? Be a crying shame not to!
Never be cruel and never be cowardly. And if you ever are, always make amends.
You are a walking talking Doctor Who encyclopedia to me. - Melike
Damn you Matt! DAMN YOUUUUU!
Alright, since Bats is already up on the board , I'm going to nominate :
The Invisibles : Say You Want A Revolution
and
X-Men : The Messiah Complex
Bump.
