    My favorite graphic novel of all time is Watchmen for obvious reasons, the novel combined elements of the fantastical, political and psychological realism that I have not seen in other works. I also read Batman, Batwoman, Justice League Dark and Gotham.

    What's your favorite comic book? And why?

    Another big time Watchmen fan here. If I had to select a title that would be it. I've also seen the movie adaptation a bunch of times(give it a chance it's actually just as brilliant, very underrated in my opinion). It symbolizes an entire genre for me, the super hero trope imposed with themes that interest me, including time problems.

    Alan Moore in general is a genius, anything by him really. V for Vendetta too.

    Yup, couldn't agree more. I'm actually surprised people are badmouthing Watchmen movie since it's a perfect adaptation of the comic book. I actually prefer the movie since the changed ending works so much better for me.

    My favorite comic book at the time is The Walking Dead. I've started reading that ever since the show first appeared on TV and I loved both the show and the comic book. It's cool that the show's story is only loosely based on the comic book.

    Hmm! Interesting choice, although quite childish. I also used to like those good ol' Donald Duck comics as well, but Batman managed to satisfy me better than it.

    Aw, I only read Archie comics, please don't laugh at me, lol. To be honest, the Marvel comics can be quite expensive from where I am. I manage to find Archie comics from secondhand bookstores for a cheaper price. So I tend to buy them in bulk whenever I find them, lol.

    I love comics! I read a ton of web comics too, which I love because it's so much more accessible to me. "Stand Still, Stay Silent" is a good one. It's about the aftermath of a zombie apocalypse many years later, set in Scandinavia. "Wilde Life" is about a write who moves into a small town in Ohio, which is full of supernatural creatures and people w/o knowing it. I'm also a big fan of "GodSlave", "Go Get A Roomie", "Namesake", "Space Boy" and a ton of others!

    I was reading "SILK" (which is Marvel) for a while, but I can't seem to find it anymore. There was also the "The All-New Ghost Rider" comic that I LOVE, but they cancelled it. :( "The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys" was an awesome (if a little confusing in timeline) comic, and I'm planning on buying the omnibus version at some point. :D

    I used to read marvel comics as well. Kinda grew out of it now though. I do read some web comics as well and @Kitty Reeves mentioned so many of the ones I read! A friend of mine used to borrow manga's from the library and she got me into reading a few of those as well. I started reading one piece and that was okay I suppose. I'm looking into expanding my knowledge in graphic novels though. I prefer them over comics now.
