Graphic novels!
Hii! Yay, my...
Hii! Yay, my first BaB thread. Anyways, graphic novels! Yay! (I said that already didn't I xD)
I kind of feel like I've read all of the good graphic novels because it's a new-ish genre and there just aren't that many...do you guys have any suggestions?
Some of my favorites are...
The Prince and the Dressmaker by Jen Wang
Be Prepared by Vera Brosgul
Ghosts by Raina Telgemeier (and basically all of Raina Telgemeier's books)
The Nameless City by Faith Erin Hicks
The Breakaways by Cathy C. Johnson

I forgot to put this on my initial "list," but has anyone read Castle Waiting by Linda Medley? It's REALLY good. The books are each, like, 300 pages long and the drawings are super intricate. It's about a medieval castle that takes in whoever needs a place of refuge, and just about their daily life and stuff. They're not super famous (I feel like the author might've self-published somehow?) but they're really good, if you can find them.

Do any of you guys ever read any DC Comics? If so, which ones are your favorite? I also like the Motor Crush series and Goldie Vance.

Nice name "Nightwing"
I have read TT: Raven. Have you ever read Shadow or the Batgirl or The Orcale Code?

Yes I have! Have you read Batman: Nightwalker? It's really good. I have also read Gotham High, but it was not very good...

Nighwalker was awesome! Gotham High was not, although I did like the character redesigns. I just didn't like the plot. I also feel like they tried to put EVERY SINGLE DC CHARACTER related to Batman in there.

I know! Like poison ivy and Salina and Harvey and Alfred! And then you know I did like the character redesign, but I did not like how they changed his back story.
(September 11, 2020 - 12:34 pm)
Yeah, overall the book was just, "eh."

Has anyone read the Nameless City graphic novels, by Faith Erin Hicks? They're really good!
(September 12, 2020 - 9:03 am)
Oh yeah, I love those! They have a really cool drawing style too.

Nimona is really good.

One of my favorite graphic novels of all time is Roller Girl! I think someone (Lupine?) already mentioned it in passing but it's seriously amazing. Really made me want to take up roller derby! I read it the year it became an award winner (haha uh that was 2016 whoops) for a book contest and I really loved it, so much actually that as soon as I saw the words "graphic novel" I thought of it.

Let's see how much I can think of.
I LOVE Rainia Telegemire, and I totally spelled that wrong.
I also love Be Prepared, Vera Brosgol is an amazing artist!
Roller Girl and All's Faire in Middle School are both great.
And I have more but I'm drawing a blank right now.

Oh my, graphic novels are very near and dear to my heart! Have you ever read Bloom? Topping!
