theres were these 2 guys in a lunatic asylum...

..some of you reading this may recognize that line.

I was walking around the Barnes and Noble with my girlfriend today, and while she was snooping around the fiction and tabloid magazines I went over to the graphic novels, after hearing many great things about "Batman:The Killing Joke" i decided i would pick it up...and i must say, not only is the writing superb, but the re-inking of the 20th anniversary deluxe edition is amazing!  The colors are lush and bring the world of Batman and Joker to life. This is joker committing what i think is one of his most cruel and sadistic psycho plans.  I wont go into details for anyone who hasnt read it..but i can say, it is a very good read. It is great, and the extra money was worth having this great book in hardback.

Even after seeing the Dark Knight, my girlfriend still looked at me like i was crazy for buying a "graphic novel" even with the "mature audiences" tag on the back.  I am sick that this country still associates comics with children, these are amazingly told stories with deep psychological storylines. Hopefully with the release of the Dark Knight, and the Watchmen people will start to realize that comics are not just for kids anymore.


But on the subject of graphic novels do any bombers have some good suggestions?

i will hopefully be picking up some Watchmen before the movie comes out, but what other suggestions do people have?
