I totally second Johnny the homicidal maniac!!!
I've never read it. I may have to look that up sometime.
Let's give with the nominations people. I love learning about works in the comic world that I didn't know about before.
Sam - I am going to go ahead and nominate The Dark Phoenix Saga by Chris Claremont.
I am withholding my second nomination until I can think on it more!
Coolness. Excellent story btw.
I wonder if anyone's going to nominate any of the gunslinger graphic novels... I completely forgot about those because I was so excited to nominate my Sam & Max!!! LOL
That is the million dollar question ain't it. You can change your nomination if you like Liz (either one of them). I won't hold it against you. Me against you, yes; changing your nomination against you, no.:P
It's not going to be me. :lol:
My 2 nominations are for...The Dark Knight Returns and The Killing Joke.
I'd like to see some Conan in here but I know it will die a hideous death.
I gotcha Matt. Your nominations have been added to the list, though I'm surprised you didn't nominate Batman: Year One.
Depending on other noms, I might go with Gunslinger Born... maybe!
Just wanted to let everyone know that we're going to be doing a Give-Away relating to this thread!!!
Everyone who makes a nomination will be entered.
So get your nominations in!
Details coming soon !!!
The Sandman: Season of Mists by Neil Gaiman

Aaron, Sam and I will not be eligible for this give-away.
I will also not be eligible, much as it pains me to fucking type it. :D
:lol: Oh, bummer, Aaron... price of fame, I guess. You, Sam and I will have to re-read the GNs we have. Old dusty things! I'll update the post. :couple:
Very neat idea, everyone.
I likes it. :D
Got any ideas as to your second nomination Sig?
PM'ed to you just a minute ago. :P
I read my inbox before I got here.
I don't know if it's allowed to nominate something if it already has been but . . .
Definitely, The Watchmen. One of the best books I've ever read, graphic or not and . . .
X-Cutioner's Song featuring X-Men, X-Force and X-Factor
Honorable Mention (This is not a nomination, I know we only get two, just wanted to give this credit) : Berserk. There's over 30 volumes (i think) and I wouldn't even know where to begin, but it's a great story.
Welcome to the fold Kidd Ikarus. What we have going here is each member is allowed two nominations, and we don't need seconds for the nomination to count.
Your nomination for Watchmen is in, and so is X-Cutioner's Song. Thank you for your nominations.
I have to stick with my nominations... but if the stand had been graphic novelled yet, it would have to replace the Maxx.... The Stand is AWESOME.
LH - Captain Trips is out in GN form as of a few weeks ago. Do you want to nominate that?
Kidd Ikarus - Great call in X-cutioners Song! Welcome to the site.
Haha. Thank you. (edit: sorry called you 'man' then I saw your gender by your avatar) I really liked that book growing up.
QUICK somebody nominate one of peter Bagge's Hate comics!!!
the guilt over not nominating buddy bradley is eating me alive!!!!
(dont want to change my nominations though but Hate should be up there)
* bumpage *
Get your nominations in... we're giving away graphic novels to the people who make nominations!!

Speaking of nominations, my first nomination has to be a book that turned the DC world around and showed that DC comics really can turn out beautiful artwork and well scripted, non-confusing storylines. This is one of the best stories I have read, and represents the best usage of one of my all-time favorite DC characters, Captain Marvel.
I nominate Kingdom Come.
I love the huge greenness of it.Spoiler: 04-06-2009 05:53 PMsoylentjillianTANK GIRL
http://www.coverbrowser.com/image/be...2007/913-1.jpg
I guess the first volume? It's a continuing story that was issued in several small comics and then brought together in volumes.... I would nominate the whole series.
TRANSMETROPOLITAN
http://www.coverbrowser.com/image/tr...litan/14-1.jpg
ALL OF THEM 04-06-2009 06:07 PMDoctorDodgeI'm actually reading brand new Tank Girl in my Judge Dredd Megazine. It's very...what's the expression? Fucked up, i'd say. Fits very nicely with the rest of the megazine then, haha! Kinda reminds me of Sam and Max, but just that little bit cruder. Definitly need to check out the earlier strips!
Transmetropolitan is another comic i need to check out. Maybe i shouldn't judge something from it's cover, but Transmetropolitan looks VERY fucked up from that cover i'm seeing. And considering i like - no, LOVE - comics that make me go, "WTF?!?", i'd say that's a good thing.
So: you like Tank Girl, Red Dwarf and, judging from your avatar, Labyrinth. Gotta say that i'm loving your taste, SJ! :D 04-06-2009 10:02 PMSigTauGimpTank Girl = :wub: 04-07-2009 06:05 PMSeymour_GlassWhy had no one nominated Transmet before? 04-07-2009 06:08 PMThe Lady of Shadowsso forgive me if i screw this up. i am new to all this graphic novel stuff.
i nominate:
the long road home
treachery
i think i'm allowed to do that right?
they are both dark tower graphic novels that are released in more than one, ummmm, issue (?) but all one arc.
did i do it right? 04-07-2009 09:49 PMSamYou're on the money honey. Your nominations have been added. 04-08-2009 02:24 AMturtlexWeeeellllllll... 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. 04-08-2009 08:20 AMSamI 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. 04-08-2009 08:29 AMSamHurry 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. 04-08-2009 11:59 AMSamI 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.
