I would like to nominate Tale of One Bad Rat by Bryan Talbot and I know someone mentioned Blankets by Craig Thompson but since it is not on the list yet I would nominate it as well.

Blankets was interesting. I wouldnt say it was one of my favorites, though I do own it. At one point I got a feeling that the author was from my home town as one of the characters was wearing a Columbia Sportswear jacket. I flipped to the back and sure enough.
I was going to nominate Blankets. Thank you, oy, for freeing up one of my precious spots.
The last volume of the Invisibles (The Invisible Kingdom)... and...
Arkham Asylum: A Serious House on a Serious Earth.
Spoiler: 03-28-2009 05:57 PMrazzI nominate
Hellsing
and Megatokyo (which is actually a webcomic that gets periodically compiled to a graphic novel) 03-28-2009 08:01 PMturtlexDone!! Nice picks.
I got the Arkham, but cannot find The Invisible Kingdom... but do see The Invisables. A couple of different ones. Can you find the exact title and post it please?
razz - I found multiple volumes on both of those titles. Can you please find the exact title of each and post it please? 03-28-2009 08:01 PMSamTell me more about MegaTokyo razz. From what I know of it and from your post, these are just collections? I'll be looking into it while you tell me about it. 03-28-2009 08:07 PMrazzoh, sorry, i misread, i thought we were nominating the series in General. So we're nominating individual volumes then?
In that case I nominate Megatokyo Volume 3 and temporarily withdraw my Hellsing nomination.
It's not a collection, it's a webcomic by Fred Gallagher. the series follows a storyline, where each individual comic is a continuation of the last. Each volume of it contains a few chapters of the series.

Don't worry about my second nomination I put up...I was in a slightly(read:highly) altered state of consciousness when I posted, and even I have no idea what I was talking about. :D
I'll come back with my second nomination soon. 03-29-2009 02:18 PMturtlex 03-30-2009 07:26 AMLadyHitchhikerI totally second Johnny the homicidal maniac!!! 03-30-2009 07:40 AMSamI'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. 03-30-2009 07:49 AMturtlexSam - 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! 03-30-2009 08:14 AMSamCoolness. Excellent story btw. 03-30-2009 08:19 AMLadyHitchhikerI 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 03-30-2009 08:33 AMSamThat 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 03-30-2009 09:20 AMMattIt'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. 03-30-2009 11:02 AMSamI gotcha Matt. Your nominations have been added to the list, though I'm surprised you didn't nominate Batman: Year One. 03-30-2009 12:35 PMturtlexDepending on other noms, I might go with Gunslinger Born... maybe! 03-31-2009 02:44 AMturtlexJust 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 !!!
