OK, so I'm not a comic book expert in any way whatsoever, but I'm a huge fan of everything Batman and figured I'd pick up some graphic novels and explore the character some more. I did some research on which ones were generally regarded as the best, and got a nice list together. So, here's what I picked up. Arkham Asylum Black and White Hush No Man's Land Son Of The Demon The Long Halloween The Man Who Laughs The Black Mirror Year One Ego The Dark knight Returns The Killing Joke Earth One Absolution Joker So, which are the best out of those and which should I read first? Any tips are appreciated, thanks! |

Year One and Dark Knight Returns are hallowed grounds in my opinion |

Gotham By Gaslight is my all time favorite. Bodysnatcher listed the two that I think most would agree are the best. One odd pick that I doubt would ever end up on a best of list but that I always really liked was the first Batman vs Predator. |

Also we have a comic thread here you should post in. It's usually on the front page here. |

Another good pair are the issues penned by Kevin Smith. The downside is he didn't finish the 3rd one. Cacaphony and The Winding Gyre. I enjoyed them both alot. |

The artwork on Arkham Asylum is really something else. I really like Hush too because I love the Riddler. |

I also enjoyed the first Batman versus Predator. The Killing Joke might be my favorite though Dark Knight Returns really is something else. I also enjoyed the shit out of Batman & Dracula: Red Rain, might break that one out again soon. From what I remember Spawn/Batman and even Batman-Spawn: War Devil were enjoyable one-shots, been almost twenty years though. |
