Living Room / Re: The Greatest Graphic Novel of All Time: Watchmen
« on: March 05, 2009, 08:40 PM »
ooh, havent been on this site for a while, not since the career change. But once i got the mailshot with Graphic Novel and Watchmen , my spidey sense tingled and i had to jump in. (it turned out it wasn't spidey sense, i'd just left my phone on vibrate.)
First of hall i hate the term "Graphic Novel", its comic. "Graphic Novel" was only invented by stuck up critics who refused to acknowedge comics as a platform for serious literature and just couldn't bring themselves to actually say the word "comic".
My opinion is that Watchmen is the most groundbreaking comic, it opened the floodgates so to speak. I personally liked V for Vendetta over watchmen, it had stonger narrative.
My personal favorite is the Sandman series, it was just so different and fresh at the time, and once Death made an appearance your just hooked. I just hope they dont try to make a film and ruin the images in my head.
Apart from that, do the Bash Steet Kids count.
