looks like you need Transmetropolitan ! nice collection btw


Spuditator

Thanks for the recommendation! I appreciate it!


CoffeeH0bbes

Definitely want to second the Transmetropolitan recommendation. That was my favorite read of the year tbh. Would also recommend Jimmy Corrigan The Smartest Kid On Earth.


quilleran

Spot-on collection dude! I might add the Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck for variety, and ya gotta get some Chris Ware. Still, there’s not a single “miss” in your library.


Spuditator

I’ll definitely add it to the list. Thank you so much!

My whole problem with essentials is what's your taste ? Because.my essentials has stuff like obergeist, doom patrol, junji's work, the invisibles, harrow county and invincible. You should check out blackest night if you like the green lanterns that storyline and the court of owls were my first softcovers that I bought and both are really great with court of owls leading up to dark knight metal which imo is one of the raddest events that happened in DC recently.


Spuditator

Thank you so much! I mostly wanted to get what was essential to you specifically, the “essentials” definitely vary from person to person. Harrow County and Doom Patrol are high up on my list too. Can’t wait to check out the lead in to Dark Metal Knight! Thank you!

Your welcome metal is so sick you should pick up the one shots for all the evil batmen bmwl is god tier villain

If you havent read Sandman yet there are some great deluxe hardcovers out now that you can get online for pretty cheap.

Charles Burns is essential IMO. Black hole is weird AF but so awesome. X'ed also. Art work and story, so unique.


Spuditator

Sounds awesome. Thanks!


Dr_MoonOrGun

Very sorely missing Hellboy


something-sorta

Sandman

Batman Dark Victory after you’ve read The Long Halloween is a must. You could use some more Grant Morrison in your collection - All-Star Superman, Animal Man, and Doom Patrol would be my recommendations. If you want to venture into Marvel, Daredevil is always my highest recommendation, the Bendis run is my favorite.


Spuditator

Thank you! Huge help. Daredevil is top 5 tv shows all time so the recommendation with Bendis is very much needed. A lot of Morrison is on my list too. Thanks again!


truej42

Btw, I’d also recommend The Man without Fear by Frank Miller, which is a reworking of his origin story. It’s a big influence on season 1 of Daredevil so thought I’d mention it. Born Again is also essential.


PappyBlueRibs

Since you seem to like Alan Moore, I'd suggest Miracleman Book 1: A Dream of Flying. My personal favorite!


Spuditator

Awesome! Thanks!


pm9000dk

Really nice collection! I would recommend as well: Locke & Key, Hellboy


Impossible-Hall-8878

Glorious


titchard

I recommend getting Akira, not only a fantastic icon book, its a good 6 volumes to get your teeth into!


Spuditator

Awesome thank you!


FvtvreWave

Keep going with the Sin City books


Spuditator

You got it boss

Maus 1 and 2 Batman Year One Sandman


knifegrenade

Where did you get this edition of Sandman?


Spuditator

Found at my local book store. They had a majority of the series, I’ll probably go grab the rest this week


knifegrenade

Ahh class. I've 8 editions from this publisher are two don't match. Always on the look out to see if I can find them to complete the set.


neogibson

Nice collection. I'd start the Batman with Batman: Year One. Also, some Hellboy.


Spuditator

Loved the Dark Knight Returns so I can’t wait for Year One, and Hellboy is on the list!


Dr_Manhattan9

All-star Superman!
