Best Self-Contained Graphic Novels since 2010 - Blu-ray Forum

Mandalorian · 08-29-2013, 05:17 AM

I'm curious to see what some of your favorite NON-SUPERHERO, self-contained (meaning not part of an on-going series) graphic novels from 2010 through 2013 are.

Although I say "NON-SUPERHERO", stories akin to Kick-Ass, where ordinary people play dress up, DO QUALIFY.

Thank you anyone who responds!

Punk Rock Jesus and Joe the Barbarian are two of my recent favourites.

Although they're older than 2010, I would recommend :

"Maus" by Art Spiegelman.
"Y : The Last Man" by Brian K. Vaughan (Was an ongoing series, but has ended)
"Torso" by Brian Michael Bendis
"Preacher" by Garth Ennis (Also was ongoing but ended).

I haven't read any really good "new" graphic novels.

Anyone read Boxers & Saints? Fantastic story and art.

I need to check out Punk Rock Jesus. 80% of what I own is a Vertigo release.

Does War of the Woods count?
It's fresh, offbeat and completely different from what I normally read.
