WATCHMEN

 by Alan Moore & Dave Gibbons

  Scathing socio-political comment partly seen through the eyes of a man dressed as a giant owl. The best comic book ever made.

Y: THE LAST MAN

by Brian K Vaughn, Pia Guerra et al

  Hilarious hypothetical madness as the last two creatures with a Y chromosome consist of a monkey called Ampersand and a twenty two year old escapologist named after the dead idiot jester from Hamlet. Cleverer than it sounds, but don’t let that put you off.

RUNAWAYS

by Brian K Vaughn, Adrian Alphona et al

  Super powered teenagers fight crime by their own rules, man, on the mean streets of fetid sinkhole Los Angeles, California. Contains the line ‘HELP! I’M BEING KIDNAPPED BY AN EVIL BLACK MAN FROM THE 1980s!’

NEW X-MEN

by Grant Morrison, Frank Quitely et al

  So good that Marvel kicked Grant Morrison off the book for fear of how talented he was. The smoothest team of X men ever take on soulless, formless killer womb-twins, sentient evolutionary bacteria and Wolverine’s unfortunate whiskey tolerance whilst recruiting a man with a sun for a brain. Fan-fucking-tastic.

THE LEAGUE OF EXTRAORDINARY GENTLEMEN

by Alan Moore & Kevin O’Neill

  Eight worlds away from the god-awful film, Allan Quartermain and Co solve all sorts of dastardly plots on the streets and seas of Victorian England. You’ll never see Rupert Bear in the same way again. And then it moves onto the 20^th Century and WARPS REALITY ITSELF.

 

ULTIMATE SPIDER-MAN

 by Brian Michael Bendis, Mark Bagley et al

  Spider Guy done right. Peter Parker trips over his own shoes, endlessly stares at women’s breasts, makes ‘Yo mama’ jokes and annoys Daredevil to the point that the blind lawyer nearly beats a fifteen year old child to death with a blunt club. Still refreshing and new even though it’s been going for a million years now.

 

LOVE AND ROCKETS

by Jaime &Gilbert Hernandez

  Long running punk-woman epic glugging an insane cocktail of bitch-fights, ancient evil and heart-felt confessionals, told in some of the most subtle storytelling and genius ink work ever committed to paper. Has a character called Penny Century and…. Oh, it’s probably the best piece of fiction of the last fifty years.

THE DARK KNIGHT RETURNS

by Frank Miller

  Bruce Wayne fires Robin because he’s ‘useless’, starts drinking heavily and grows the most refined moustache this side of Paul AND Barry Chuckle. Oh, and later on the Joker breaks his own neck just to piss Batman off. And all that without mentioning the Bat-Tank. Just as good as everyone says.

 

ALL-STAR SUPERMAN

by Grant Morrison & Frank Quitely

  The first and best superhero updated for the modern age in a timeless tale of hungry suns, anti-matter rocket men and absent fathers. A pop-art classic that’ll never age or lose its beauty, no matter how many screens it’s splayed across or how many times someone rips it off.

SCOTT PILGRIM

 by Bryan Lee O’Malley

  ‘Scott Pilgrim is the best book ever. It is the chronicle of our time. With Kung Fu, so, yeah: perfect.’ – Joss Whedon

Christ, there’s loads of them. Come on, Hollywood.
