    Very neat idea, everyone.

    I likes it.

    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.

    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.

    TANK GIRL

    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


    ALL OF THEM

    I'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!
