    Many say that WATCHMEN by Alan Moore is not only a must-read but a perfect segway into the comic book universe


    What other titles would u recommend for beginners?




    Personally, one title I'd recommend would be Invincible



    It starts off fairly straightforward with a teenager who gets superpowers...

    But then it quickly goes to some interesting places.

    The action is great and so are the characters.


    Def a great read for first-timers and comic book veterans alike

    My next suggestion would be Superman Red Son




    The plot is extraordinary and one of the best "what if?" case scenarios

    I like how characters from the DC universe also make an appearance in the alternate timeline

    An unforgettable Superman story, without all the hassle of reading hundreds of Superman comics

    Thanks Debris, those are some fantastic titles! There's a club fair coming up on campus and I'm shooting for a top ten list that I can hand out to people

    Ofcourse, a list would still be helpful on RJ as well

    A lot of those were either a mini-series or completed series. SHIELD is one of the best new books of the year. Marvel has a winner with that.

    By title of the thread, I thought you meant non-superhero stuff. If that's the case, I'd recommend:

    Strangers in Paradise


    Fables


    Scott Pilgrim
