Well, yeah, what's your favourite graphic novel?
I'll have to go with Joss Whedon's Fray, that was a masterpiece.

What's your favourite graphic novel?

Hayao Miyazaki's Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind or Alan Moore's Watchmen (V for Vendetta is also excellent).
Batman: The Dark Knight Returns.
Now that I've safely staved of ninjas, I'll explain;
True it's a little generic, but it was the first graphic novel that I read, and Batman is always awesome.
Also DC: the New Frontier, so great, especially the Marian Manhunter, and the spectacular John Henry storyline.

Graphic novels including Japanese manga? Or just Western graphic novels?
If it's the former, I have no idea what my favourite is. I've read quite a bit and can't really make a choice. If it's the latter, then The Walking Dead is quite easily my favourite. Mostly because it's pretty much the only one I've ever picked up that I could stomach to read.

Might as well throw down, as I know fuckall about graphic novels. I've never really gotten into the scene, and even less so since I got a Lit. degree. Still, when I was young I thought this (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_Empire) was the bees-knees.
I think manga and western G. novels are generally regarded seperately. Or that would make sense to me.Steppin Razor said:
My favorite is a tie between Marvel's Runaways, and DC's Livewires. Can't say I've read many non-comic based graphic's ^_^'
"The Filth" by Grant Morrison. Though, I'd have to say "The Invisibles" was even better, but it was a comic series, not a novel, as I think The Filth was
FIRST FOR PREACHER!
Seriously, if you've never read Preacher, you're doing yourself a grave disservice.

Ah, but the very definition of graphic novel itself would include such things as Japanese manga and Korean manhwa. Not to mention that manga itself has a longer history of being collected and published in books than Western graphic novels.ScarecrowAlone said:
Really, each person has their own opinion of whether it should be included or not, and that's why I asked. If the OP considered manga as graphic novels, it could change some peoples answers.
