Mine is lucifer, by mike carey.

 

[AscribedPurpose]

It's such a difficult decision.
I love Y: The Last Man series, but I also adore Chris Ware's Acme Novelty Library, Number 18.

The Alan Moore "Swamp Thing" series plus his "Watchmen" & "V For Vendetta", both made great films.

The Alan Moore "Swamp Thing" series

Yes, the "Love and Death" collected volume is epic.

My own choice would probably be Miyazaki's Nausicaa of the Valley of Winds.

It'll always be Sandman by Neil Gaiman, I just love it on every level. After that, I really like Grant Morrison's The Invisibles, though it starts better than it ends.

For me the best so far and probably the best as to be The Crow

Daredevil - Born Again

That is a wonderful story.

I'd probably go with Alan Moore's Watchmen. IMO there's a richness to it that is without compare.

 

[Pedro Del Mar]

Brian, do you think Watchmen has the emotional power of Born Again? I'd agree with you in that it does have a richness and quality second to none, but for me it doesn't have the emotion of Born Again

 

[Brian G Turner]

for me it doesn't have the emotion of Born Again

I'd agree - in Born Again you see someone broken down, and having to build themselves up. It's an action-adventure with a very personal touch. In Watchmen, I simply love the characterisation and morality - or, at least, the questions it asks of it.

(If I wanted to sound clever, I might even suggest that one is about believing, and the other is about asking.)

Even though I loved Frank Miller's Dark Knight Returns, I'd put his Daredevil: Born Again above that in a personal ranking, precisely because it has more of a human story to it.

I really enjoyed Preacher.
The Filth was bizarre but entertaining and of course The Walking Dead is hard to put down. I must read The Sandman some time.
