Recomendations
I'm new to comics and was introduced via The Walking Dead and now I'm loving the Chew series and plan to start on V for Vendetta. I would also like to read the novel Dotter of Her Fathers Eyes.
With these in mind has anyone got any recommendations. I prefer off beat or literary type. |

Y The Last Man is probably the best series I've ever read

![]() Same goes to the OP - Saga. Think they're only up to issue 8 or 9 but there's a trade paperback out already with 1-5 or 6 in. Transmetropolitan is another excellent comic available in trade, though I got into Warren Ellis via his Marvel stuff along with Global Frequency and Planetary, also worth checking out. Mike Carey's Lucifer is also good, and then there's Neil Gaiman's Sandman. |

Have you started reading Saga? BKV's best since Y... if not better!
and then there's Neil Gaiman's Sandman. And a big fat 'yes' to Sandman and 'V For Vedetta'. |

I will certainly check these recommendations out.
I'm becoming addicted, just got the first three issues of Bedlam - seriously good. I've also started on Revival - not sure about this, not really going anywhere. I've ordered Maus and Persepolis, looking forward to these. I'll check out the others in this thread. |

The World's End books are great, just got into them myself.
Fables. Oh, and Elephantmen, really great stuff and the compilation books are decently priced and very good. |

I've done V for Vendetta and plan to read more Alan Moore; I quite fancy From Hell.
I'm half way through Y the last man - top stuff, thanks for the tip. I've also finished Maus which was an emotional powerhouse. |

From Hell is heavy going, work into it with Watchmen and League of Extraordinary Gentlemen
