    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.

    When two fit, it makes you think
    I got the cute one, my woman
    She says, "Lovin's all I bring"
    And it's her loving that's a wonderful thing.
    Lovin' yes we are, it's such a wonderful thing
    When two fit it makes you think
    See us both in the black
    She lays on me so relaxed.

    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:
    Because DC hasn't published a paperback of Flex Mentallo, I'm assuming it's out. If it's in, take off Arkham, so I can be the guy who voted for Flex. But I doubt it will be. I feel like I'm rambling. I am. I should just shut up.

    So hard to just pick two. I have two catagories when it comes to GN's. Litterary and just damn sweet. I tried to pick one of each.
    Done!! 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?

    Tell 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.

    oh, 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.

    razz - Sam had a question about Megatokyo... is it just a collection, or a story arc/story?

    We're definitely nominating individual graphic novels.

    We'll hold off before we put any up for you. Let us know about Megatokyo.

    No, bud, is it a collection? Or actual story arcs?

    You got the right Crow one, turtlex.
    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.

    I'll come back with my second nomination soon.

    Elodin: "Tombs is for feckless twits who can't chew their own food. My boy's a Re'lar! He has the feck of twenty men!"

    Kvothe: “Books are a poor substitute for female companionship, but they are easier to find.”

    Simmon: ”It’s just ointment in case you get burned...but if you mix it with piss, it turns into candy.” Sim’s expression was deadpan. “Delicious candy.”

    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!

    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.

    It's not going to be me.

    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.
