Frank Millers: The Dark Knight
It's not based on the recent film and the recent film was not based on it.
It's just one of the greatest comics ever written.

for online graphic novels, try looking for group (www.lfgcomic.com), it's a spoof of world of warcraft. otherwise, i think halo graphic novels are great, was really looking forward to halo:uprising but it's still not available in the UK thanks to all the delays with the american release 
And he actually does it in a reasonable way. Frank Miller didn't just think "Huh, that would be cool" and wrote some stupid thing into the plot. It's believable.j-e-f-f-e-r-s said:
Well, if it's considered an actual graphic novel, I'd recommend Halo: The Graphic Novel.
It's actually not that bad, and thankfully, it's not the about the Master Chief.

If you like Batman I would Reccomend:
Long Halloween, its very good, Tim Sale stuff, doesn't compare to watchemen not even close. But its Good, pretty damn good...I think.
Batman: Year one by Frank Miller, basiclly Batman Begins minus Scarecrow and Ras al Ghul, and Plus Catwoman....but barely, its more about Gordon anyway.
Dark Victory, Tim Sale again, but it has Robin *uggh* at least he captures Robin decently.
Not as good as Long Halloween but its fine.

Eric Shanower's Age of Bronze [http://age-of-bronze.com/aob/index.shtml] series is absolutely FANTASTIC. It's a retelling of the Trojan war in graphic novel form and it's nothing short of epic.
My only complaint is how long it is between volumes; the series began in 1998 and we've only got volume 3 out of (a projected) 7 so far!
... but it's really well done and incredibly well researched (which is probably why it takes so long to make!).

GAH. Why has Kingdom Come not been said like a million times? It is imo the finest TPB that DC has ever produced. The art is phenomenal, and it is an almost Marvel (Read: Superheroes aint perfect) take on the future DC universe.
Also, check out the Hellboy TPBs. Mike Mignola is a fantastic artist, and the stories are always really well put together, humorous at the right times, and serious during the others.

Can anyone tell me if The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen is any good? Because I am one of the few people in the world that liked the film, and am now not sure wether to buy the book or not.
