Graphic Novel recommendations.

[AnotherAsian]

Hey folks. Let me get to the point. For my English class, we are required to read a fictional novel of any choosing. I asked my teacher if it can be a graphic novel and she said as long as it is non-fantasy based (I know right?) and over 200 pages, I'm okay. But it also cant be any novel based around my culture. So, these are the following that I was considering of purchasing:

Watchmen
From Hell
V for Vendetta
Sin City (any kind)
Ronin
Batman: The Long Halloween

If you know any good comic book that meets those requirements, by all means post it up. I also am looking for a good graphic novel to read as well, since the last one I bought was Marvel Zombies: Dead Days, and that was 5 months ago.

wtf is a graphic novel ???

Id recommend you "The hitchhiker's guide of the galaxy"-complete series... for a comic book but its "fiction" based.

Get Watchmen!!! Best graphic novel ever in my opinion.

 

[AnotherAsian]

I actually already have Watchmen, but I'm considering it since it has a bit of fantasy in it

and a graphic novel is basically a comic book made into a novel format (see: Watchmen)

Only one I can think of is Watchmen. And maybe Sin City.

rorschach for the win, Watchmen.

 

[Kody]

Considering im a huge fanboi over Watchmen.....Im gonna have to go with Watchmen.

 

[AnotherAsian]

do you guys think that Watchmen is a good non-fantasy based GN? I kinda question it considering Dr manhatten and all

 

[Sexy Beast]

Hmmm...Other than Watchmen.

Arkham Asylum: A Serious House on Serious Earth was a good read.

 

[anepicmistake]

Watchmen! but if you get from hell, tell us how it is, because I've wanted to read that for forever now.

Yes i think you should read it. Dr. Manhattan is a work of science not fantasy.

oh God no...I respect your opinions about Janpanese comics, however I despise them. besides, I dont think my English teacher will allow me to read it

also, Arkham Asylum Serious House on Serious Earth is the same as Batman:Arkham Asylum, right?

Well the plot does share some similarities...the Joker taking over for example. The graphic novel is a darker story and delves deeper into the psychosis of the character. Plus gives a fleshed out back story to Amadeus Arkham, the man who founded the asylum.

Although it may be a bit too fantasy, written by Alan Moore just like watchmen, I liked it.
