here's my top 13 list of graphic novels mostly because I can't list 20 on top of my head
13. All new wolverine by Tom taylor i think is criminally underrated in my opinion
12. daredevil born again
11. The dark phoenix saga
10. Death of superman
9.batman year one
8. Amazing Spider-Man by JMS
7. Spider-girl aka mayday parker the daughter of Peter parker and Mary jane by tom defaco and ron frenze
6. Bloodshot salvation by Jeff lemire which is really great
5. Invincible by robert kirkman
4. Action comics rebirth by Dan jurgans
3. Ultra mega a great indie book
2. Superman rebirth by Peter J tomasi and Patrick gleason
1. Super sons by Peter J tomasi and Jorge Jimenez is my favorite series of all time mostly because its has my boys Jonathan Samuel Kent superboy be his little 10 year old self and Damian wayne robin being great friends and going on fun adventures.
Might be biased her cus it was one of the first comics I read, but the OG Bendis-Bagley Ultimate Spider-Man run should be here
I get filled with oodles of joy when I see that you’ve posted a video.
Great video man. It's awesome to see and hear how much you love comics. Very inspiring. Thanks for the must reads!
Dude I am jealous of you right now you got that Super Sons omnibus behind you back there. That damn books out of print sadly
Love the new background or shelf or whatever
This was a pretty good list. I'm gonna try to do a Top 5. Here goes:
1. Batman: The Long Halloween by Jeph Loeb and Tim Sale
2. Firepower by Robert Kirkman and Chris Samnee Volume 1
3. Superman: Secret Identity by Kurt Busiek and Stuart Immonen
4. Geiger by Geoff Johns and Gary Frank
5. Spider-Man: Spider's Shadow by Chip Zdarsky and Pasqual Ferry
There were some books on your list I didnt expect or even knew about, so thanks for the suggestions, its been 2-3 years since I read a book last time and I think this is the time I return and read some good ones.
Also, if I made this list most of the it will be filled with Grant Morrison books😆. I read and loved most of his works before I even knew he wrote them.
Mine are
1.Invincible Robert Kirkman
2. Batman Hush
3. Shazam To Hell and Back
4.Mr. Miracle
5.Dark Knight Death Metal omnibus
Invincible was one of the things that got me into comics. I really like the art, characters, and story. I used to be a huge manga and anime guy, but Invincible and some stuff from DC got me into comics. I bought compendium 3 and that alone made me happy for comics. I still have it to this day. It is one of the things that makes me want to create my own comic. I mostly want to create monster comics.
Not necessarily a top 20 but a couple that I would call must reads outside your list would probably include stuff like Gideon Falls, DC: The New Frontier, Grant Morrison’s Animal Man, Arkham Asylum a Serious House on Serious Earth, Saga, Alan Moore Miracleman, Planetary, Spider-Man Life Story, Lemire’s Moon Knight. Most of these break the Graphic novel rule but everyone should read them lol
Awesome vid , thanks for the list
Kill or Be Killed is amazing!! Im really happy to see it on here!
Great list man. Your og 20 must read graphic novels was the first vid on your channel I watched so it’s nice to see this throwback to it. Here’s my top 20 in no particular order:
1. X-men god loves man kills
2. Killing joke
3. Kingdom come
4. Wolverine by Claremont and Miller
5. Kraven’s last hunt
6. New frontier by Cooke
7. DKR
8. Watchmen
9. All star Superman
10. Sweet tooth
11. Daredevil born again
12. Snake eyes declassified
13. JH no way back
14. V for vendetta
15. Dark Phoenix saga
16. Batman year one
17. Five ghosts
18. Invincible
19. Gideon falls
20. Death of Superman
Thanks your recommendations are always spot on
I highly recommend Rafał Mikołajczyk's comic "Invincible" is a graphic adaptation of Stanisław Lem's hard science fiction novel, published in 1964
Hmm…Deadly Class. May need to check this out! Thanks
I actually read the Novelization of Kraven's Last Hunt and having a better appreciation for the character and reading the second coming of the Sinister Six issue and loving knowing why Kravin wasn't in the second coming. I will try to find the graphic novel for Kraven's Last Hunt because its time to enjoy the artwork at least for me😁.
Great list man
I wanted to add a graphic novel that is definitely a must buy if your a fan of Darth vader. The Charles Soule run of Darth vader vol. 1: Imperial machine, art by Giuseppe Camuncoli, from 2017-2018. This takes place immediately after the events of Revenge of the Sith as its Vader’s quest to get his red lightsaber, my goodness that quest was amazing. Highly recommend
Charles Soule's run is great and volume 1 is fantastic but I personally prefer Kieron Gillen's run on Vader.
I like how you didn't include Dark Knight Returns haha
New bookshelf? Also cool list but I would add the long Halloween imo best Batman comic also annihilation and sinestro corps war
I have a recommendation. The first volume of John ostranders suicide squad
In no order mine would probably be
Batman The Long Halloween
Batman Ego
Batman Year One
Batman Court/City of owls
Batman Black Mirror
Flash Rebirth (2009)
Spider-Man Blue
Spider-man Kraven's last hunt
Spider-Man birth of venom
Daredevil Born Again
Daredevil The man without fear
Judas Contract
Any Story arc from Chuck Dixon's Nightwing
Superman Up Up and away
All Star Superman
Watchmen
Invincible either volume 1 or invincible war
Moon Knight 2006 first volume
Green Lantern Rebirth
Anything from ultimate spider-man
@Pastry-Man isn’t the first volume of Moon Knight where he gets abusive and Marlene leaves him?
@@Seasonal-Shadow_4674 and the one where he crashes his plane into a building... Yeah it is lmao I just think it's a cool take on moon knight
Love your list dawg, you definitely needed some Immortal or Planet Hulk.
Another great Kirkman book was his Irredeemable Ant-Man.
Also, what are your thoughts on Spencer’s Kraven arc?
I actually had World War Hulk on my list in my original video 6 years ago. I haven't read Spencer's Kraven arc, is it good? I might check it out.
Not mentioning the Sandman has got to be some sort of comic book sin
Love your picks! I went and clicked the like and subscribe for ya
I book I would recommend is Spider-Man blue

9:37 Hey I just got into the Netflix series! I was thinking of giving the book a read too for posterity, but how does the show compare to it if you’ve seen it?
I haven't watched the show because from what I'd seen/heard they changed a lot of stuff from the comic. The comic is fantastic and you should definitely check it out.

Those are some of my must reads but in no particular order! Awesome video as always.
No Dark knight returns???! Treason.
Y: the Last Man?
Apart of Alan Moore's titles, nothing here is a must have.
Dylan do you read/like fantastic four?
Never got into Fantastic Four.
You should definitely read the Walt Simonson run on FF (great battle with Dr. Doom and Reed Richards. The Hickman run is excellent as well. Also try Grant Morrison’s. FF 1,2,3,4. It’s a weird story but it’s really good (Great Jae Lee art too).
Dude can you slow down and show the Graphic novel for at least 5-8 seconds so that i can read the cover and i don't have to pause it to see what the book looks like? You show the book for 1-1.5 seconds it's annoying, what's the rush?
How do you keep hope alive within the dying comic book industry
It's pretty simple tbh. Read good comics and don't read the bad ones. You just got to find creators that consistently make good comics and follow them and all of a sudden comics don't feel so doom and gloom.
Make Batman and Catwoman's Relationship Canon in the DC Comics
Make Green Lantern and Star Sapphire's Relationship Canon in the DC Comics
Make Aquaman and Mera's Relationship Canon in the DC Comics
Make Wonder Woman and Steve Trevor's Relationship Canon in the DC Comics
Make Superman and Lois Lane's Relationship Canon in the DC Comics
Make Nightwing and Batgirl's Relationship Canon in the DC Comics
Make Green Arrow and Black Canary's Relationship Canon in the DC Comics
Make Joker and Harley Quinn's Relationship Canon in the DC Comics
Make Constantine and Zatanna's Relationship Canon in the DC Comics
Make Beast Boy and Raven's Relationship Canon in the DC Comics
Make Flash and Iris West's Relationship Canon in the DC Comics
pure super heroes novels, nice list if you are a 12 years old boy
Do you read manga
Nope.
@@TheRealComicBookGamer damn, you should start reading manga when you have time, it's a good medium and it's more easy to get Into, here's some recommendations if your interested in reading manga : berserk, chainsaw man, vindland saga, hunter x hunter, one punch man, goodnight punpun and vagabond
Try The Guyver manga it’s an amazing story. I’d also recommend Fist of the North Star. A great manga. The character in fist of the North Star would destroy Berserker in a fight. Trust me.
you shouls show the art, it takes no time, you could do it while talking
